I think apple lost interest in the desktop years ago and are eternally surprised it's still lasting, run as an afterthough. Why is deleting a file from a usb stick to free up space so fiddly? No one has ever taken the time to really think through how things work.
- enos_feedler 5y agoAre you fucking kidding? How do you explain the M1?
- Nextgrid 5y agoM1 can be explained by consolidating iOS and macOS so that less effort is spent on the desktop. M1 machines are very close to iPhones when it comes to the boot process and security model, and iOS features are now infiltrating the desktop like widgets and even the ability to run iOS apps on desktop (used to be Marzipan/Catalyst but it still meant the apps had to be compiled for it, but now macOS on M1 is technically capable of running raw iOS apps directly).
- enos_feedler 5y agoM1 is about capturing growth in the laptop/desktop/workstation market, it isn't about cost savings a dying market. Consolidation isn't the right word. It's about taking their mobile "opinions" and saying if we bring these to the desktop we can grow the market. The ROI does not make sense otherwise. Might as well pay Intel and keep milking it then.
