This is the result of Apple trying to become a "fashionable products company" instead of a "premium products company".
Absolutely. Like what does "Pro" mean in Apple-speak right now? A workhorse for serious professionals who earn their living with their tools, or the luxury version of the regular consumer version? There's a TV ad in the UK that says the Macbook Pro would be perfect for a first-year undergrad... That's not who I'd imagine a real "Pro" product was aimed at.
- remir 9y agoApple should just make two laptops: Macbook and Macbook Pro. Convert the current Macbook Air into a 13" Macbook that is more in line with the Air's price. The Pro should be a pro machine. Plenty of ports and no touch bar non sence, but keep the Touch ID sensor.
- gaius 9y agoCrippling the Mac Mini to force people onto the Mac Pro "tower" then leaving that to rot was likewise insane. It's like Apple have forgot they only sell iPhones because iPhones are first-class citizens for all the content authored and apps developed on Macs... Take away the ecosystem and the fruits will eventually wither...
- remir 9y agoI agree. I would like to see a new Mini with good specs but Apple is uninterested in this machine, it seems.
