  • Is Apple "trying" hard enough with the Mac?

Apple is too, but only in the 27" iMac.  There are a bunch of people who will buy a Windows 10 PC just because the waiting will be over.  Apple needs to be faster.



    I agree with just about everything except this point. This is not entirely Apple's fault. They want to use Iris Pro graphics and those chips aren't shipping from Intel yet.

     

    On another unrelated point, I think Apple should release OS X updates in January. Change the internal target date to late September and tweak the shit out of it until January, so we're effectively getting the .2 release but it's more polished.

     

    And perhaps Apple should get rid of the OS X moniker and just call it MacOS (like iOS, tvOS, and watchOS). I'm being a little OCD here but OS X as a name is getting lame, and when Apple switched the Mac over to Intel, they changed the name of the PowerBook to the MacBook Pro because they wanted Mac in the name of their Mac products. How about finally doing that with the software too?!
