What Is Bugs Apple Loves?
A satirical website that documents how much time humanity wastes because of bugs Apple seemingly loves and keeps around forever.
Current Bug List and Impact
The site currently lists 16 bugs, the oldest being “Finder Forgets Window Sizes” from 2001.
According to its tongue‑in‑cheek estimates, humanity collectively wastes 32.4 million years per year on these bugs.
Interactive Calculator
Visitors can adjust multiple parameters to run their own math:
- Percentage of affected users
- Frequency of bug occurrence
- Time required to reach the desired result
- Number of attempts needed for each action
The calculator then outputs a personalized estimate of wasted time.
Community Involvement
Bugs Apple Loves is open‑source on GitHub, allowing users to:
- Submit new Apple bugs
- Suggest improvements to the website
- Contribute code or design tweaks
This collaborative model keeps the list growing and the humor fresh.
The Voice Behind the Project
Marcus Mendes, a Brazilian tech podcaster and journalist, is the creator. He has covered Apple since the mid‑2000s, started reporting for Brazilian media in 2012, and hosted a daily tech podcast for seven years.
Why It Matters
Beyond the laughs, the site highlights a real issue: long‑standing bugs can cost users massive amounts of time and productivity. It serves as both comic relief and a reminder for developers to prioritize bug fixes.
