True.  It is a worthy upgrade although I am annoyed at the restriction it one screen and 24GB RAM limitation. They seem to be more marketing decisions to restrict M2 design and to make sure the M1Pro will get preferences for another six months.

For entry level devices I think a laptop screen and a single external monitor is enough, same with 24GB RAM.

If you need more you buy a better machine.

Oh and iMessage going cross-platform might just kill the pricacy/security nightmare that is WhatsApp = silver lining.

Even if this happens Apple will not have to make it easy for others to “interoperate” with iMessage for example, and Apple can soon make the experience much nicer on their hardware anyway.

Even if a non-Apple app-store is made available on iOS it will be crippled to some extent and almost nobody will use it regardless. 

I predict that in a few years when this is history we’ll look back and wonder what all the fuss was and what the EU has achieved.

Then on top of that people expect Apple to largely stop “selling” iPhones and move to a hire/rental model - to further solidify tie-in to the platform. Personally I buy devices outright, but I’d pay for an Apple hire if the price was right.

Jury-rigged? Surely you mean jerry-rigged.
