- pshirshov 5y agoYes, sure. Probably they won't notice anyone leaving. That's not a reason not to leave though.
- SV_BubbleTime 5y agoThat seems crazy from the production side. Think of what it would look like to manufacture 2,200+ macs per hour (19,000,000 year).
- dharmab 5y agoPre-pandemic, Ford sold a pickup truck on average once every 30 seconds.
- frockington1 5y agooff topic but post-pandemic my Bronco still doesn't have a build date, this chip shortage is out of hand
- SV_BubbleTime 5y agoYou have no idea. I just got a 100 week factory lead time for a cortex m4 ARM chip… it’s not a super rare chip.
- godelski 5y agoA year later and Ampere GPUs are still near impossible to get. So much for my home ML machine... (literally only waiting on a GPU and been that way for a year)
- katbyte 5y agoapple sold 18 million macs in 2018
- dividedbyzero 5y agoApparently they sold 6 million Macs in Q2 [1] 6M/91d/24h is about 2700 units per hour, if those numbers from statista are true. 1: https://www.statista.com/statistics/263444/sales-of-apple-mac-computers-since-first-quarter-2006/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/263444/sales-of-apple-ma...
- propogandist 5y agodon't worry, they're offsetting environmental harm by excluding chargers and other accessories from your purchase. You can pay more to get these items, because that's Apple's commitment to the 'environment'.
- abestic9 5y agoThat affects iPhones not Macs, but there is actually an environmental benefit in the form of shipment density due to the omission. It makes sense to not ship chargers to most people who already have a way of charging their new phone.
- lugged 5y agoI get it, but we're not going to do it to make them sad. We'll be doing it because their product sucks.
- neom 5y agoFor sure, I wasn't taking a swipe at you, it's fair! I was just giving the reference point.
