They should also ask that all the ads on web pages be removed as well as ask for the same reductions from porn sites.

"Products becoming obsolete is never fun, especially as they continue to function and are reliable. But they can't be around forever"

...and yet is this actually a self serving myth from corporations that survive via anything new to market, designing questionable products to begin with...?

An unyielding notion of 'progress' when in fact physics doesn't change (much), and should such gambits beg challenging...?

For consideration one example of a most remarkable audio experience that remains essentially unchanged from decades ago: https://www.klipsch.ca/products/klipschorn-floorstanding-speaker

'Measure twice, cut once...?'

The Realistic Minimus speakers from the 1970s are also a well documented icon in the 'value' range lest critics suggest the Klipsch comparison unfair, but like so many things, does planned obsolescence become an unsustainable zeitgeist, like Apple forcing onboard ram and storage, and 'consumable' battery sealed earpods and peripherals - enough already...?

Apple wifi cuts out so often now I am ready to pack even AppleTV in.

I have WONDERFUL decades old analogue audiophile gear with transistors, caps and driver surrounds that can actually be repaired, and copper wires that actually seem to work every time I hit the power switch...

Don't even get me started on the premium branded 'smart' tv that I was told would be 'fixed' with a future upgrade... Yes not Apple product, and yet... A simple analogue (RCA or even 1/8" minijack) would make such more reliably usable. Analogue HomePod input anyone? Is it Airplay2 or AirPlay too bad...?

Time marches on, technology advances, things change. Get in the boat or be left on the island.

Unless they can keep all the features that are currently in place including Bootcamp it would be the worst mistake Apple could do.

Because advancing technology is a bad thing.

I like Elon’s vision. It’s far reaching and hopes to improve humankind’s prospects.
