Who know what apple will decide next year. Despite announcing Apple computer where switching to ARM in 2021 or 2022, leading to obsolescence of intel apps in near future, they annouced they would stop support for 32 bits apps... Every other os platforms still support 32 bit applications : Windows, BSD, Linux. It's no big deal to run 32 big application on 64 bits platform.
But there is still a slight overcharge in work comparing to 64 bits only platform. So Apple, one of the richest company in the world, decided to cut the cost, once again.
I came to believe that every decision apple is making regarding its products, hardwares and softwares is about cutting costs at every corner and maximizing profit.
Switch to in house ARM processor from standard Intel ? No need to pay intel anymore...
These new keyboards ? Well, may be it's about slim design but, having be able to use them for 3 years and having had to remove some of the keys occasionally and comparing them with the ones of the macbook pro 2015 i bought on ebay 2 month ago (I hade to convert the Querty keyboard to an azerty keyboard by switching some of the keys), I can say the quality of the material and the cost of manufacturing of these 2 keyboard are not the same.
- o-__-o 7y agoThis sounds much like the arm wrangling over the PPC to x86 shift. I had just acquired a 17" macbook back then too. Color me pissed... but that's Apple for ya (insert-shrug-emoji)
