Too late, don't care. I no longer trust Apple with my work. Ask me how many times I've re-installed macOS Catalina on my mid-2013 MBA since it came out? Ask me how many times I've had to restore my MBA to an earlier TimeMachine snapshot (local thank god) because the Apple Mail app shat itself unrecoverably while copying several thousand emails from one mailbox to another. Ask me how many more stories like that I've got. And to think, I'm an IT professional with 35 years in the industry and been an Apple user since 2004, having had a deep knowledge of many an operating system (including flirting with Linux in between Windows 2K and iMac (I'm aware one's an OS and the other's HW).
The marriage is over Apple. We're headed for divorce and no promises you make now will convince me to stay. I'm leaving. In reality, it's been over for awhile, but of course, having invested so many years in this relationship, it's been hard to make the mental leap needed to let go. Well - now I'm there. While I'm sure your new hardware will indeed be magical with industry leading battery life and performance, that performance is only as good as the OS that runs on it. Who cares if you get an extra 6 hours battery life, when I have to restore from TM yet again and walk away overnight while 200+GB of storage gets re-installed? I loved you, and will think of you fondly from a distance. All the best.
