Microsoft did not surpass Apple, Apple fell behind. 

This is a hostile, lopsided article that fails to understand users needs.

I am no Mac Mini enthusiast or buyer, but I can relate to the user’s arguments of a reasonably cost effective Mac for those who aren’t seeking portability and who already own a monitor, keyboard etc. For Apple to slap them with such high prices is not going to go well. There should’ve been a well configured option for $499, then charge whatever  for the pro. They sure know how to pull off such options for the iPad. 

At those prices, the Mini will go they way of the Cube. Then Apple will claim that there was no interest... Um, duh!

For Apple to sell more iPhones to China and India, all they need to do is incorporate dual SIM chips.
Yes, it’s really that simple. I’ve traveled to Asia several times, and when I asked why didn’t you buy an iPhone instead, their answer was so they didn’t have to carry two phones.
This is also a problem here in the US with corporate issued phones. You must carry your company phone and your personal.

Apple has been screwing up royally lately; versa mount, dongles, keyboard, TouchBar, and now performance. The performance issue is, in my opinion, just another reason why they need their own processors. Performance per watt, is key.
