For what it’s worth; my Apple Watch is my favourite Apple product since the iMac G4, and seems to only be improving, iteration to iteration. Cook has at least brought a truly wonderful, innovative new product to market.
Big Sur seems decent. I’m interested to see how the ARM transition pins out.
However; we can’t ignore the butterfly keyboard debacle; a number of unstable iOS versions; the ludicrously-priced $6000 Mac Pro, (those wheels...) - and a very un-generous axing of 32-bit support with Catalina.
I absolutely refuse to upgrade on my personal MacBook beyond Mojave as I have legacy audio plugins that are 32-bit I’ve paid for that do not have upgrades I use as daily drivers. However I’m an iOS developer for a living; so my work computer must be up to date.
The road with Apple has always had its ups and downs. I think; for Mac users especially, the decrease in cost/lower price point that ARM should provide will determine quite a bit of the future of growth of MacOS in the amount of market share.
- aey 6y agoThe butterfly keyboard is such a classic Apple thing todo. To push form well beyond the limits of current manufacturing capabilities just because of an ideology. How many big companies try something that ambitious?
- fredthomsen 6y agoand let's not forget the touch bar.... Urgh. Still holding onto my 2015 MacBook from work and hoping it never dies.
- aey 6y ago2015 is the best MacBook! Touchbar is terrible, but I applaud them for trying. They are trying imagine a perfect touch interface.
- lallysingh 6y agoCatalina is a crash happy POS.
- scarface74 6y agoApple has been “axing” backwards compatibility since it created the Mac as a separate line from the Apple //. The last 32 bit Mac that Apple sold was in 2006. Should they have kept 32 but support for x86 software for ARM? Should they still be supporting PPC software? 68K software?
