Apple has trained us to expect better. I pay the premium price with those expectations in mind. I, personally, would _like_ a new laptop and am lucky to be able to afford to buy at any retail price point but I cannot justify spending on Apple at this time. Maybe they’ll course correct but it seems unlikely to happen quickly enough for me. Johnny Ive ruined the product side of the company and IMO they may never recover as Tim Cook doesn’t have the kind of vision it would take to pivot to making consumer first products again.
