This glass-half-empty, cynical editorial about Apple's solution to "right to repair" is just moving the whining goalposts from "can't" to "cost"

I thought there were rumors of a completely wireless (no ports) iPhone.

There’s another difference the article doesn’t point out: you can play hundreds of top tier games on the MSI. 

Well be that as it may, I don't think the intent of the article was to compare the number of Wintel games to Mac games. It seem to be comparing hardware performance and features. On that front, it's not a particularly in-depth hardware comparison.

FWIW, Apple has never marketed the MacBook Pro as a gamer laptop, but I think comparing game performance (where it can be done) is certainly fair. I would like to have seen more of that in this article, even if Apple made no claims about game performance.

Put the M1 MAX in the next AppleTV, include a MFi controller in every box, bump SSD options to 512GB or higher (or auto-unload oldest games without losing user data), cap the starting price at $400, throw money at game devs (the way AppleTV+ is courting original content producers), and you have a serious game console.

USB-to-HDMI 2.1 adapters should work at full bandwidth on these Thunderbolt 4 ports.
(But I get that the purpose of complaining online isn't to find answers; it is to complain)
