  • Apple's new Touch Bar MacBook Pros and the future of Macs

    I am happy with the size of the *insert last year* MB Pro as it is a good balance between portability and features

    Why every time a new form factor comes out someone is angry about new size and fine with last Macbook Pro iteration size?

    Every effin time.

    "At this point, it should not be surprising that the world's most successful mobile device maker [...] is designing [...] machines to fit the needs of the broadest possible mainstream audience." 
    Well, yes and no.

    Apple didn't became Apple by targeting mainstream audience.

    Macs were (and are) cool because an elite of cool rich professional creative people consistently chose them. And pro creatives used macs for a reason: the experience was flawless.

    Millions of people own a Mac because they secretly dreamed to be (or wanted to have fun trying) graphic designers, music producers, photographers, DJs.

    But nowadays there's a new category which now everyone secretly dreams to be: developers.

    That’s why I think software developers with high and uncommon system requirements should not be considered less important just because they are a small market.

    Macbooks had a firewire 10 years ago, and 99,9% of users didn’t need it. But that was a wise decision: music producers and video makers used it. 
    Cool people used firewire, cool people's Mac experience was flawless, so they keep buying Macs.

    Apple should be really careful not to loose the developers.
    They are the cool and rich creative people now.
