So they had to switch to Nvidia for their amazing 1080 GPU, makes sense. Guess I wouldn't blame apple for not appealing to a niche market, as a reply on that post said they chase big markets and do really well in them.
It's interesting that in some ways Microsoft may be doing the same. They cut support for older CPUs, they cut a lot of their workforce for QA, and seem to be focusing too.
It'd honestly kind of cool if they margins reaching specialty users became so small that they stopped getting supported so Linux fills in the gap. I mean, the transition is bad, but the end opportunity for Linux and diversity in general seems good.

These guys are mad because they can't get the latest and greatest hardware from Apple, not that their obsolete system won't run macOS.
- Clubber 10y agoPeople with the silver 2009 Mac Pros are also mad because Sierra won't run on it. It will run on a 2010 Mac Pro which is, for all intents and purposes, identical, except a BIOS version setting. Apple decided 2009 users now has obsolete hardware. It's only 6.5 years old and mine is from obsolete. 2x4 3.33, 32g, 2x1TBSSD, 2x4TBHDD, USB3, GeForce 970.
- marricks 10y agoI meant similar in the context of generally trimming support. But yeah, in terms of apple not having a system for latest GPUs it is different.
