Fair enough, but for many people love for Apple has always been a combination of admiring the solid design of an individual product alongside the brand of "think different" innovation. If you feel that Apple hasn't really done anything astonishingly innovative since 2010 (the iPad, and the iPhone 4, i.e. Retina), you are losing the brand identity half of the value prop.
That Apple, as if they were making washing machines or minivans, cares about Consumer Reports recommendations is far more damaging to their mystique than getting not getting a CR recommendation.
- apercu 10y agoI think that's true for those that look at products as some sort of cultural artifact, but for many of us it was simply easier to replace the current laptop with the new model and know you'd have quality components. The same could not be said for most popular non-apple laptops (HP, Dell, Compaq, etc...). You might buy a Compaq and two years later buy the same model and have completely different (usually terrible) video card, screen, etc...
