An actual acknowledgement would be cool.

  An acknowledgment of what? Apple does not owe you anything. You chose to buy their products, with or without the need for dongles. They have allowed feedback and the market to correct this by offering revised products.

    Apple doesn't allow any leeway though. It's "my way or the highway" with displays, keyboards, ports, headphone jacks, charging cables, programming languages, API entitlements, app distribution, content integration, graphics API, coreutil versions, package managers and even your goddamn operating system. If I had room to protest, I would.

  What exactly do you want to see them say, and how?

    "We're sorry. We f'd up." They did something similar with the Mac Pro, didn't they? I don't particularly care.

      Apple actually said “we fucked up” in a press release?
      • mixmastamyk 5y ago
        Paraphrased, yes. :-D

    “We are very, very sorry. We were so wrong. We didn’t listen to all your posts on Reddit and HN, but we should have. To make it up we will be releasing a $500 M1 Max that is fully upgradable, repairable, and runs Arch Linux” - Tim Cook

      And each MacBook comes with a small vial of authentic Apple Executive Team tears. That’s how you know it’s a real apology.
