I don't have the time to locate all those source reference requests, but I know I've seen stories related to each point here on HN recently. Seems fairly common knowledge that Apple have disbanded macOS team and is focusing on iOS based future. Am I mistaken?

>New filesystem maybe? You mean the one that shipped on iOS first and benefits iOS the most? To me, that shows how far the Mac has fallen in Apple's priority list.

If you’re going to call BS, please just call BS. Everyone knows what “source?” means.

  I think most people who follow Apple already know this and those who don't could obtain sources easily - when sources are provided they're simply downvoted. The whole thread has developed into Apple fans downvoting everyone who criticises the new approach to MacOS.
