I do not understand why Apple does not release the m3 MacBook Pro before the MacBook Air. It gives incentive to consumers to buy the very best.

What do you mean very best? What's the very best to you doesn't mean it's the very best for someone else just looking for an ultra-portable MacBook. Not everyone wants a more expensive heavier laptop with more ports as its overkill for their needs. Different people have different needs which is why MacBook Air exists in the first place. 

I mean like the MacBook Pro 16 M3  Pro or the Max. Heck, I would love them to bring back the 17in MacBook Pro. However, I was reading the production yields have not been good with the 3nm process. You would think the would release something that sells less at a higher cost it would be a good starting point for production until they get better with 3nm process. The MacBook Air will definitely sell better no doubt as it is much cheaper. For the average consumer, it is a great laptop.

I would consider an apple version of Peloton. If Peloton would enable apps like amazon prime, youtube, apple tv, netflix, hdhomerun, zwift. I would consider Peleton as well but they try to lock you into a monthly subscription; otherwise, you have a big paper weight or an expensive clothes hanger. Their current business model does not work for me. Apple can make that big display like a big ios device/apple tv with a fitness focus.  I can see this fitting in Apple’s ecosystem, but Apple would probably prefer to make something on their own vs buying another company.

I normally keep my TVs for much longer than 3-4 years, which is typically the upgrade cycle of a cell phone. I normally keep my TV for about 10 years. I wish TV manufactures would at minimum support their product for  5-6 years. I spent an arm and leg when I bought my Lg 2018 OLED 77" tv. The 77" tv have fallen in price since then. Since owning the tv, I have seen the support that Lg provides. While I like WebOS interface, I hate Lg's and even Lg's support. I was actually surprised they gave us the apple tv app.  I will probably buy another TV for another room, but probably will not go with Lg. Looking at other manufactures, it appears that Sony as well as Vizio make OLED TV and their support appears to be much better.  Would love to hear people's opinion if they feel if these two other brands have better support.  

If you support the cause, please petition Lg to bring Airplay to their older tv. I think Lg could provide Airplay 2, HomeKit, as well as eARC.
