The company only exist for one purpose. Make money. Any company does not make money will close down.
Recently WeWork going to bankruptcy process soon.
How many WeWork worker will be losing their job soon? So far Apple did not major layoffs even Google, Meta, Microsoft did recently.

look at the Samsung phone line up. They have cheap to middle and expensive phones, but margin does not catch up to Apple iPhone.
I am keep saying too many models line up will always less sales due to lots of consumer having decision anxiety.

That's why Apple only provide specific model nothing more. All those failed company had too many models. Such as Nokia. And even Microsoft did the same thing for mobile business. That's why they failed.

Also no one dare to increase their phone price over $1000 until Apple did. Why? Apple know some people willing to pay something new, shine product.
So far Apple delivered. That's why they are still top dog. 

Apple share their profit with shareholder. Which any public company should.
 If you complain about Apple's price, then either you should own Apple stock so you can get dividends to pay your Apple products or make more money.
Why are you buying thing that you cannot afford it?

I think Apple should drop MBP 13'.
They should drop price MBP 14' with base M3 chip as $1599 or $1699. Which $100-$200 more than MBA 15' 512GB.

I think Apple currently has some model lineup fragmented issue.
Too many choices not good for business. 

Current 24' iMac chase cannot handle temperature of M2 Max. I think M2 pro is max out.
iMac is for base consumer product not for professional. 27' or 32' iMac may contain with M3 Max? If Apple still choose thin chase, then I guess it may not either.

Question will be the price of 27' or 32' iMac with M3 Pro or Max. It may compete with Mac Studio sales.

I think Apple should drop some model and rethink how to deploy the M chip interval.

Apple should delete old 13' Pro and only make 14' & 16' for Pro model.
Air should keep 13' & 15'.  So don't give consumer to choice dilemma based on screen size. 
Entire notebook line is 13', 14', 15' 16'. 
The Pro model should have always newer M chip like iPhone Pro and none pro. 
So Air always get previous M chip. The M2 chip currently good enough to skip upgrade. The Pro model get M3, M3 pro & max.
When M4 release, the Air should get M3.

In that way, Apple get little less chip shortage apply through entire mac line up and Apple can drop some price from Air model.

These new GAN chargers all have the same design flaw:  they’re too heavy and easily slip out of the power socket. There should be a small cord between the brick and the outlet to prevent that from happening.

Agreed…..Hello extension chords 

Going to direct you to the post directly above yours.  Blrzz has the right of it; if your outlets are too loose for a heavy adapter, you should consider replacing them.

Instead, they can add ground plug as well. most of USA plug has 3 holes. When folding plug pull down 3rd ground plug swing out that should solve any loose end.
Most of manufactures just design to easy production. That's why all the big chargers having same problem.

And Goldman Sachs wants to dump this loser? I can think of a few ways to make a few bucks on 10 billion under my control. 

Because GS already have Marcus bank for consumer and give same above 4% interest for saving and CD.
Only thing interesting was GS profile never deleted even you close the account with them. Only deleted from Marcus bank.
I guess GS tracking my credit score so when I reopen new CD then GS does not need credit check?

I am pretty happy with AMEX, Marcus, Apple saving and/or CD account for above 4% interest rate.
These days if you are married you can open you, your wife open saving account separately and joint account for CD gets up to $1 million FDIC insured.
