Same old same old, doom and gloom. How many times has Apple been copied after they introduced something? They may not have to be first, but try to be the best. They have more money than they can spend last I checked. Plus they are very strategic when spending it. Evolution happens in small increments over time. Waiting on new chips from Intel has probably been their big hold-up. The Mac Pro & iMac are probably on the next updates. Hopefully.

This is getting ridiculous. Each Intel generation delivers so little improvements. No wonder demand is lower. Apple should drop Intel on the Mac and build it own laptop and desktop version of its A chips. It would be something unique no other competitor could match.

I have a sneaking suspicion that that is where they are heading to in a number of years. Just have to play the waiting game.

Can you sense what is going on here ? Apple working towards in-house integrated single chip CPU/GPU/CELL/WiFI/BT/etc SOC fabricated on Intel's advanced 10/7nm node process..Target is iPhone 2018 fall announcement.

It would sem so, yes. Interesting times for Apple. 

Good news. Big yes!

Being a delivery device makes the most sense. Keeping it simple.
