Apple should bring STANDARDS to all devices, including Thunderbolt 3, USB 3.1 Type C Generation 2 and SDXC with extra pins for maximum (300 MB/s) read/write speed.

Boxing is obscene. The new gladiators. Pathetic.

Cloud whatever? No, thanks! Nothing like in-site storage with backups, of course.

TO ADMINS: THIS WEB FORM DOES NOT INCLUDE CARRIAGE RETURNS USING LATEST VERSIONS OF SAFARI ON MAC. I am including ------------- below to separate paragraphs.

Mac OS X is the best computer interface, although Apple has degraded it recently (no color labels, scroll arrows, etc). On the other hand, iOS is a jailed crippled and limited disgrace.

Mac should run on Intel x86 to be compatible with the rest 97% of the world out there (read Windows). Did Apple learn from previous Apple-IBM-Motorola PowerPC disaster? Try to switch Mac to ARM and we will also switch to Windows. A shame for all. Do not get me wrong. I love the Mac, but I also want to improve it, not degrade it.

And yes, a true headless Mac like Mac mini is a must. Actually, the iMac is a waste, when you have to throw away a perfectly working and expensive display just because the CPU inside is obsolete. As an example, I am using a current Mac mini with an Apple Cinema Display 22-inch purchased in March 2000 (more than 16 years ago!) that works great. The Mac mini has been replaced for newer ones many times during such 16 years, keeping the great working display. That is green and ecological computing, not discarding perfectly working iMac displays! In summary, all-in-one computers are anti-ecological and a waste of resources.

Apple should use standards on all devices, like Thunderbolt 3, USB 3.1 Type-C (reversible) Generation 2 and SDXC with extra pins supporting maximum read/write speeds (300 MB/s). And implement many ports. Not just one as in MacBook.

Last but not least, if Apple really wants to boost market share (continuing making billions in cash), it should reduce to half pricing of all its products. As an example, it is really shocking that Apple charges two to three times more than original manufacturer or reseller like Amazon for the very same make/model of RAM or SSD at Apple Store. That is utterly unacceptable, besides being greedy.

Whatever, but bring standard ports like Thunderbolt 3 and USB 3.1 Type-C (reversible) generation 2 to all Apple devices, together with SDXC supporting maximum read/write speed (300 MB/s).
