This was a company that said they cared. That made products which were far and away better than the competitors. I paid the Apple Tax, but it was worth it because I didn't have Windows headaches and because I had a better quality system that was truly optimized for both easy use and for power users. It was great. I actually feel crushed by this news. I valued the trust I had in Apple.
And I don't say all of this lightly. I've read the threads the occur after every major Apple release. They're always replete with naysayers. I've never been one of those people. This seems different.
- minikites 10y agoI come from a similar background but I started to feel this way a bit sooner, near the beginning of this year, when I realized that almost all of Apple's computers were 2-3 years out of date. The Mac Pro hasn't been updated in any way since 2013. The Mac Mini is almost as old. They used to do "silent speed bumps" all the time to keep up with technology advances without the needless expense and effort to redesign everything every 8-12 months. So if they can't even put in the minimal effort to ship a newer processor, why should we expect actual greatness at this point?
