    Well sure Bruce. If you have to buy now you buy what is available.
    The point is the sales Apple isn’t currently making. What could sales have been with current spec iMacs, MBAs, Mac Pros Mac minis etc? Heck even iPads! They would be a lot of people that have not made a purchase because they are out of date.
    release new models and sales wil be a lot more than they are at present.
    What he is saying is that there would not be a big bump in sales if the various Macs had the latest everything inside. People don't care about or even understand what clock speed is, or RAM or pretty much anything on a motherboard. Just does not matter. What would increase Mac sales is aggressive marketing which Apple just does not do - and which is also very expensive which Apple does not like.
    Even people like myself who do know what those things are can have other spending priorities. One thing I love about Macs is their longevity, I still run my business on a fully maxed 2012 Pro, upgrade would be nice but not essential. Macs are the best VALUE on the market imo, people complaining they’re over priced and under speced just don’t get what Apple are doing.

    Copy’em Paste.  
    Never understand why MS nor Apple have left default copy and paste functions languishing in the primordial swamp.

    I’ve tried all sorts of different clipboard management options over the years and this one is incredible. 

    It does so much more than a clipboard history you can search and paste from, it’s transformed how I work.  It’s in the App Store.

  • Australia's Bendigo Bank adds Apple Pay, having lost fight over iPhone NFC

    Bendigo is the 5th biggest bank in Australia.

    re Australian market, the population is small, however due to being affluent, English speaking, very high iPhone ownership rate, Apple often gives access to new roll out features before most of the rest of the region -  often with the US market.
