When the critics say this release is lack lustre they will be very much correct. 

If no gold then why is the top dimple of the Apple gold?
If it is meant to be all the colours then that patch shouldn't be there.

Um... that's a //c

We're aware, and this is addressed in the lede. We chose IIe for the head because it was more populous.

But unproven given no one has actually tested and you need the add language card and I'm assuming the upgraded CPU (remember when Apple swapped CPU's) to match the more advanced //c. So by the time you knock out that many Apple][e was it really more popular? 

Would also run on a ][gs in theory maybe even in turbo.

I hope if that does happen the starting storage of the 15 Pro Max (or whatever Apple decides to call it…) will begin at 256 GB, that would definitely take some of the sting out of the forecast price rises! I’m perfectly happy with my current 14 Pro Max’s 128 GB - I’ll be sticking with the lowest storage 15 Pro Max again but any increase in that model’s base storage will definitely be very welcome.

Yep they should drop to $100 per 256 GB instead of 128GB currently

If Sales are 50% expected then production should be cut not scaled as 50% of stock would be left to service demand for the same time period.

So sales must be much higher than. Indeed the product is new with the highest potential for returns due to faults or other reasons. I would have thought production was 120% or more of sales expectation. 

A scaling of production could be a sign of better-than-expected retention of units with customers. Maybe a bit of both. 

Still yes, while the original story does seem to jump eagerly to negative conclusions. Apple's base model configurations and upgrade prices really are getting ridiculous. Especially as they set them in US dollars and just apply that world wide.
