> Apple has limited resources
Well come on now. Apple is one of the richest company in the world and has a tiny tiny product line to care about.
They have skipped a whole year of refresh on their entire Mac Line so they can focus on those 3 laptops. They also dropped their network equipment division and outsourced their monitor division to LG which must have freed some resource people or money.
This MBP release is catastrophic, even by Apple "don't buy iteration 1" standards. There is no excuse for the indeed poor story telling.
The Mac line is secondary business does not work either when they fucked up similarly the iPhone release. Promising that the world has moved from the headphone jack yet failing to deliver any headphone several months after the events, despite owning a whole business dedicated to that.
2016 is a miserable year for Apple. Hopefully that just an off year and they are preparing a unforgivable 2017, or it is just one of those crisis large companies goes through.
- blinkingled 10y agoI don't think I made it clear that my main point was that Apple isn't going to invest in the Mac much longer for control and margins issue along with their Post-PC agenda. It's not very hard to imagine having resource issues when you're trying to do something that is under constant scrutiny and higher standards and you're also doing a bunch of other things while still trying to find the next big thing - I stand by my point on that one, but more so I wanted to allude that it is just too convenient for Apple to not pay much attention to the Mac.

- gutnor 10y agoAww, I read it 10 times thinking "there is something weird", but my mind was completely convinced unforgivable meant unforgettable.
