future-proof I doubt Apples cares much at all about future-proof. Why should they? In the end they're just a company wanting to sell, more and more if possible. Their target audience isn't some industry where one expects 10+ years out of a machine, nor those who value long lifetimes of products. Instead Apple knows very well there's tons of people who'll happily by the next gen if the current one breaks down in much less than 5 years, or just because it's the next gen even though the current one still works ok.
