Approximately around the time the iPhone 3g came about was when the transformation began.

when steve jobs' health went to shit

They have seemed to be getting progressively shittier since the iP5 came out.

Obviously Jobs' death was the real nail in the coffin though, at least he would have probably tried to keep up a semblance of "innovation"

When they put a faggot in charge of their company.

After Snow Leopard. That's the last product I've seen from Apple when they cared a least a little about software and the user experience. It's also when I jumped ship. I miss the Tiger days.

When Jobs died.

Look at Apple's prototype shit that occasionally gets leaked, Jony Ive's is a madman who generally only has a single good idea for every 100 shits he takes.
But that one good idea is usually fucking awesome.

Jobs had what it took to reign him in.
Cook is basically giving free reign and letting him release these abominations that Steve would have rightfully trashed.

Cook is incredibly good at his old job of reigning in factories and suppliers.
He's fucking terrible at reigning in his workmates.

I thought the fingerprint sensor on the 5s was magnificent but after that nothing has made me say WEW

The classic iPods are dank.
