It's also Apple's most environmentally-aware iteration, with 100% recycled aluminum used in the stand, as well as the use of recycled rare earth magnets, tin soldering, and 100% recycled gold in circuit board plating.

I’m not contesting it’s the most environmentally friendly iMac so far, but if you look at it objectively, it’s far from that.

It’s a computer strapped to a monitor and it’s impossible to use the monitor separate from it, nor are I am able to replace ram, storage or other components. Apple also doesn’t offer a service to upgrade parts of my computer to extend its lifecycle.

“Environmentally friendly” at Apple is mostly a marketing and PR play. 

A week long sprint is negligible. This is not uncommon in development and if true, the article is over-dramatic. 

Artists buy the pencil to draw - which includes the need for pressure sensitivity. 

I used to buy Apple products more frequently but started to wait longer. For example I have a Mac Mini M1 with 16gb and don’t feel the urge to switch to a M3 when it’s out.

My MacBook Pro 2017 I really hate and an M3 would be the one to replace, but that’ll have to be a baseline M3 MacBook Air because I’m no longer willing to pay top prices and contribute to exorbitant margins Apple is aiming for.

I wait 3 generations before getting a new phone. They are now capable enough and all innovations feel contrived to keep us buying them.

If Apple wants to increase revenues they’ll have to give up some profits. They have become to greedy IMHO. 

Nobody wants to deal with Siri. Perhaps deliver a full replacement to that terrible piece of technology first before offering a subscription that requires it?....
