They cannibalized their Mac Pro to the point it was going to disappear.
I genuinely think Apple cares more about competition and middle/long term revenue than artificially keeping alive high margin products.
- aetherson 8y agoThat'd be more convincing if they had any really dynamic, powerful product lines within Mac. Given how many Mac skus are in danger of disappearing, it looks a lot more like neglect for a company that makes like 95% of its revenue through iOS and basically keeps Macs alive as a dev tool for iOS.
- hrktb 8y agoIsn't that part of the cannibalisation ? For instance their push for the iPad Pro killed a lot of their own desktop sales I think. It's often overlooked because the iPad is not squarely a desktop replacement, and compared to the iPhone it's small potatoes. But it still sells a ton more than the Mac.
