  • Why Apple is now focusing on users, not units in Fiscal 2019

    ElCapitanElCapitan
    "for every Mac user there are 18 iPhone and iPad users" - Yes there is, but nothing goes down as fast as a fashion company the gets uncool.

    Combine that with a company that increasing is pricing themselves out of the market in country after country, that don't bother to renew hardware so they lose their highest paying and historically most loyal customers.

    Look, Apple can focus all they want on fashion customers, group identities, virtue signaling, and production of toothless moves and curated news. I say GOOD LUCK with all of that, because it is a recipe for moving the company into something people easily can turn agains and away from. 

    Apple used to be the pride of the industry, the beacon everyone looked up to while they stole it's technologies scrambling to keep up. – Not so any more.

    "churning out ever-increasing volumes of hardware units" isn't exactly what Apple have been doing for the Mac lately. In many ways they have gone to lengths to sabotage their own ecosystem and user base for macOS over multiple years.

    Seen in that light, the narrative on focusing on users rather than units is not particularly trustworthy. I believe the investors understand that. Cause and Effect!
    I don't feel like you read the editorial.
    I did and it is partly based on inaccuracy, lost history and wishful thinking. 

    Sentences like "At the same time, Apple also worked to adopt Intel chips, USB, and other technologies that ..." is cringeworthy. USB was introduced with the original iMac on System 8.1 in 1998 on a PowerPC based machine, almost 8 years before Intel processors .

  • Testing thermal throttling and performance in the 2018 i7 Mac mini

    ElCapitanElCapitan
    A full Xcode build that took 50+ minutes on a 2012 MBP 2,3 GHz i7 (4 core, 8 threads), now takes about 7 minutes on the mini with 3,2 GHz i7 (6 core, 12 threads). So that is a pretty good speedup!

    The MBP had SSD + 16 GB memory, as does the Mac mini. 

    Fans are running during the build, but it is much lower pitch than the MBP so not so annoying to listen to.
