Who are professional Mac users? These are the ones I’m thinking of off the top of my head.
- Developers
- Adobe Suite users
- Video Editors
- C-Suite Professionals
I think they abandoned video editors when they dropped Final Cut. So they didn’t care about those professionals.
Adobe Suite users is a large group of professionals. Photographers for one; Apple ditched the SD card port - seems like they don’t care about photographers. Illustrators; Wacom/tables all use standard USB style ports; and several other ports at the same time; like external hard drives or now, external video cards I guess. Less ports seems to mean they don’t care about people who use additional hardware. Musicians, Video editors, I’m sure I’m missing a few other “pros” who require external hardware.
The iPad Pro has that pencil thing; and maybe the adobe software for the iPad is good enough to do professional illustration and photo editing. Although i don’t know any photographer editing 1Gb files on an iPad Pro. They’re hard enough to edit on a MacBook Pro.
Who does the touch bar serve? Maybe it’s just because I’m in that demographic who doesn’t understand Snapchat - but I just don’t nderstand the touch bar. It doesn’t feel “pro” to me.
You can’t charge the Apple mouse while you use it. Somebody needs to explain that logic to me.
So all the Mac pros are really good at - is jobs for professional typists. Programmers, writers, emailers; but the new keyboards seem to be pretty poor at their core function. Typing.
It’s clear in my opinion that Apple doesn’t care about today’s professionals. Maybe they care about tomorrow’s. I guess I have to ask what problems is Apple helping to solve for tomorrow’s professionals - today? Wire problems?
Edit: added the iPad Pro, and Apple mouse
