If they call it X, I will sh*t.   X is stupid, just like that idiot who called his company X.   This isn’t 2000.

Yeah, Apple has never been successful with “X” naming for major products… Max OS X … iPhone X … /s

Exactly. I was sifting through the comments to see if someone would bring this up. Apple was first. Musk copied Apple.

Apple did not copy Musk and Musk never copied Apple.

If you really want to go down the whole “who did X first” rabbit hole it’d be Musk. He was using it in the 90’s. Far before Mac OS X was a thing.

It's about time, they've not improved the CPU since the Series 6. Yes, I'm aware that the current Apple Watch "does not feel slow", but that's not the point. Most people buying an Apple Watch expect it to last for years and rightly so. The better performance is not for today, but for 2-3 years down the line.

I wonder why ߧ࿠Maybe because M2 will soon be replaced with M3 and most people won’t get tricked to buy hardware this close to a possible new one.

Tricked? lol. I have absolutely zero qualms with our recent 13” M2 MBA. The majority of Apple’s customers are not neckbeards or specs-mongers. I doubt many using a MBA M2 are tapping out its potential as a very portable, non-pro notebook. 

Perhaps not, but consumers are not all stupid either. These are not cheap machines and people want the best bang for their buck. It’s not unusual for sales to slow down as the expectation of a refresh builds.

My wife is the perfect target audience for this machine. The only problem is that they shipped it almost a year too late.

How many people have already bought the 13” that came out in July of last year?

They should have either released this at the same time or waited for the M3 refresh.

This weird obssesion,this fetish with bigger and bigger cameras on phones, with truckloads of megapixels,just to take a pic of your cat,or a sloppy selfie, is getting out of hand already . 

The camera on the original iPhone SE was more than enough. But nooo,snob teenagers want moar ,moar! 

With respect, I disagree. The quality of photos from an iPhone really started being "good" from around the iPhone 6S and up, at least in my opinion. I have taken thousands of photos of my children growing up and of course I'll continue to take thousands more.

In the future, when I look back, I'll appreciate the extra quality that I got with each upgrade (roughly every 4 years for me). Comparing the pictures from my iPhone 4S to my iPhone 14 Pro Max is simply a night and day difference. Yes, the original iPhone SE had a pretty decent camera. But it cannot hold a candle to my current phone.
