sdw2001 said: First, you don't know that...it's speculation. Do you honestly think you know more than Apple's professional marketing and sales people? It's not much of a difference compared to previous generations. Second, $1,500? Or are …

MacPro said: Sold more maybe but at less profit. It's about profits not volume. I know, but in this case I am advocating for a more reasonable price, once the new technologies went mainstream. This might be a little bit selfish, but I am ok…

GeorgeBMac said:And, that becomes increasingly true when one realizes that the appeal of MacBooks is less in their hardware and more in their software/OS and Apple ecosystem. As long as it has a terminal, runs some sort of Unix/Linux + my CA…

cgWerks said: While I've adapted pretty well over the years, I'm thinking if all things being equal, I'd be fastest on the old Apple Extended II or something like that. I have to ask: you mean you are fastest on a keyboard similar to …

I hope they discontinued airport because they are about to implement WiFi access point functionality into HomePod and Apple TV, etc. This would make Airport as a separate item less useful. We are using 2 AirPort Extreme + 2 Airport Axpress all wire…

cgWerks said: No, an industrial designer is more like an architect or a UI designer, as opposed to an engineer or graphic designer. It is a blended discipline where they have a good handle on both (or multiple) disciplines, but don't necessaril…

cgWerks said: No, that's what a good industrial designer does. Ok, I agree. But to me you are either a professional (engineer, medic, carpenter, designer, cook or whatever) or you are not. What you referring to I do not consider a designer,…

rogifan_new said:. Anyone who think industrial designers are just stylists don’t know what the hell they’re talking about. Well said. By the way “style” is a word which should not be used neither in the context of architecture nor of industr…

And since this is the first serious article on this issue on any mayor website covering apple I would like to add some more voices on this issue. DHH aka David Heinemeier Hansson: https://twitter.com/dhh/status/989929253742362624 “This keyboard has…

bsimpsen said For most of us, our knowledge of the world is anecdotal. For each of us that's experienced a failure in an Apple product, the failure rate is 100% and we're unhappy about it. The larger picture is apparently quite different, as m…
