The iPhone outsells the MacBook by more than 10 to 1 and works exactly the same way. I think they'll be OK.
- slededit 8y agoThe iPhone is primarily a consumption device. People generally don't have their iPhones crash losing months of work due to the client in a few days.
- jonknee 8y agoGood luck telling that to the parent that just lost all the pics of their child... If you can lose months of work due to a client and haven't backed it up you do not deserve to have any clients.
- slededit 8y agoLosing work product is a far more common occurence, and while it can be turned into a moral argument that people really should just backup their stuff - The truth is they don't and the stress of a looming deadline is exactly the scenario where accidents are most likely.
- jonknee 8y agoIs it though? I think it would be really rare for your logic board to die right as you are finishing up a project that you haven't saved anywhere else. But with enough time to schedule an appointment at the Apple Store, enough money to buy a new computer and the knowledge that they can open up the laptop, remove the logic board, hook up a cable that almost no one until this week knew existed and then transfer your data. I bet it almost never happened.
