Perhaps eventually they'll invent and patent their way back to a usable laptop keyboard :) IMO, declaring bankruptcy on the current design and reverting to the previous chiclet keys would be welcomed by most users, but it seems unlikely that Apple will actually admit a mistake for a few more years (e.g. what happened with the Mac Pro).

The 2015 MacBook Pro was the last piece of great hardware from Apple, in terms of their laptops. The newer MacBooks with their gimmicky touchbar and useless keyboards, for the sake of being thin, just show Tim Cook and his advisors have no ideas other than taking advantage of Facebooks privacy disasters and trying to get consumers to keep buying Apple products because Apple is supposedly on a higher moral pedestal.

  2015 MBP was great, but I also immensely enjoyed my 2013 MacBook Air. The Air's battery life, form factor and performance made it hands down the best laptop for its time. I'm actually in the process of wiping it to give to a friend and feeling a bit of sadness. I use a 2017 MBP now - the screen is what finally got me - but you're right, todays hardware just doesn't compare to how it felt back then.

    The Macbook Air form factor was, in my opinion, ideal. I have a 2011 MBA I keep around the house because it's still great.

    I consider myself lucky that the store still had a few 2015 MBP left in stock when I went to buy mine. Definitely much better than that stupid touchbar stuff, and the fault keyboard.

That's the plan. And for the iPhone XTRASEX in 2025, you'll get the amazing ability to plug in any headphones (yes, including studio monitors!) via an analog 3.5mm jack!

  Hope not. I, and most people don't want that thing. Albeit I'd never buy anything apple, but I do love that my pixel has a single usb-c plug, which I've only ever used to charge. In fact, since I have a google-free version of android, I only need to charge once a week. I actually wouldn't mind no physical ports and wireless charging. here's an idea - if you want to move a piano, get a truck instead of complaining a sports car can't move your piano. there are many phones with a jack, and many without. pick what you want.
