Is there any evidence it's a sales flop? Seems like Mac sales are up, but they don't break the numbers down by device type. I want the same things you do, but unfortunately it seems pretty unlikely to happen (except for 32GB I suppose).
- georgespencer 9y agoHe didn't say sales flop.
- fasquoika 9y agoWhy would they care about any other kind of flop?
- georgespencer 9y agoBecause their users who are buying the device are doing so in spite of the Touchbar. MacBook Pro wasn't updated for such a long time that the Touchbar doesn't matter, there's a lot of pent up demand. But now people know it's kinda annoying in its current implementation. Make sense?
- pentae 9y agoThe whole world was screaming for a new Apple laptop with better performance. Imagine how many more sales they would have made if Apple had not had the touch bar, kept one legacy USB A port and hdmi port, better battery life, updated specs and priced it lower than the older models. It would have sold even better.
- graeme 9y agoIndeed. I bought a 2015 pro. I needed it then, but was prepared to upgrade as soon as a new one came out. Kept the 2015 version. Am waiting to see what comes next. I don't want a touch bar, and I don't relish getting a half/dozen dongles for all my peripherals. So I'm an invisible sale they should have had, but didn't.
- Corrado 9y agoI'm in the same boat. For the first time in a long time I don't want to upgrade my MBP. For as long as I can remember I've always lusted after the next big thing; now I'm just hoping my laptop doesn't have any problems and I won't be forced to purchase a new one. :/
- andoma 9y agoExactly this. Expanded the SSD in my late 2014 MBP recently. At least that's still possible. Just praying now that it won't break down.
