Aren’t they still doing it? My Macbook 2013 runs at lightening speeds, while my iMac 2020 is slow as hell because I upgrade it.
One may say it’s the layers of transparency and other services, but I don’t care about those, my Macbook 2013 was the pinnacle of perfection.
Apple is still definitely slowing down Macs with every single little release.
