Am just happy i dont read the comments on macrumors. What a lost site and lost audience... all soaked up in negativity. Sad. 

You mean they've lost they're absolute, fanatical Apple can do no wrong lunacy POV that many here have (likely due to not being homeless on retirement is dependent on the APPL stock price)... then yeah.

What's been going on with the Mac is a disgrace... I've been heavy into Apple from a industry, employee, stock and personal friends perspective since 1977 and even I'm willing to call them out when they've lost it (remember the first post-Jobs era?)

it's not lunacy. what trolls on MR and now AI say -- "Apple doesn't know what it's doing! Apple is greedy! Apple is doomed!"

what rational people say -- "Apple is smarter than you or I. Apple knows it's customer data better than you or I. Apple is privy to all sorts of engineering data that you or I are not. Apple knows what it's doing."

but it congrats on hitting some common troll tropes:

- pro-Apple username
- first post, shits on Apple 
- been an apple fan say way back when
- I'm a stockholder, dammit
- doomed without Steve jobs 

Final AI Troll Score: 3.3.

The colorful language is unnecessary, weakens your position on any issue.  A troll like myself would simply say that Apple doesn't know what it's doing in at least several areas, but I'm usually specific about it, as a user of Apple's technology, and the points are with basis.  I would also agree that Apple is greedy, that's pretty well universally agreed upon, and demonstrated by their tax avoidance maneuvers.  We "real" US citizens don't get such luxuries of tax avoidance schemes.  Lastly, this troll, and I wear the term proudly, as a skeptic of all fawned-over multi-national corporations, doesn't suggest that "Apple is doomed".  I think they have lost their way as a gadget design and manufacturing "expert" under Tim Cook's leadership.  If they had proper leadership, they would have partnered with a handful of companies when they released HomeKit, or produced their own set of security gadgets to release with HomeKit, instead of this grandiose release of a HomeKit API, while allowing so many 3rd parties of questionable quality to flounder and produce buggy products.  Apple could have owned this segment, if they had stuck to their original competency.  So, your angst and whining about "trolls" was a fun emotional release for you, but your reactionary response fails to recognize the reality of Apple's mission.

Wishlist for new MacBook Pro 15":   Kaby Lake processor, max RAM 32GB, Touch ID.  If it has an OLED touch panel, great, icing on the cake.

I see little improvements to upgrade my iPhone to 7. I have 6 and and will wait for iPhone 8. I've been screwed by Apple support in the past and will wait. I was a hardcore Apple fan and bought every new phone every year. Never again. I will hold out until I see something worth the money, or switch to another phone from other brands!

So 12 dislikes for simply posting an honest perspective on the feature value versus your iPhone 6.  Doesn't seem that the community here is terribly objective with, or tolerant of, opposing opinions.  I happen to agree with your remarks, my 6plus doesn't call for an upgrade, based on Apple's current incremental product release.
