    Uh, the iPhone launched in 2007. 10 years from 2007 is 2017.

    No, that's 11 years. 2007-2016 "inclusive" is 10 years.
    Anniversaries are based on the last two digits in a year. (I can't believe this has to be explained)

    For example:  1776-1976

    The US Bicentennial was not in 1975

    Therefore... iPhone 2007-2017

    Not 2016

    True... but the 13" Retina MacBook Pro is a much better machine than the MacBook Air... hence the higher price.

    The MacBook Air is currently the "entry-level" Mac laptop.  11" at $899 and 13" at $999

    Can you imagine if the 13" Retina MBP was $999 ?

    That would be amazing!  But it's highly unlikely that it would happen anytime soon.
    The MBA used to be $1799 BITD though, now it's the budget machine.
    Sure... but that took a while.  

    I don't know what Apple's laptop lineup and prices will be over the next couple of years... but I seriously doubt the 13" Retina MBP will be at the $1,000 mark anytime soon.

    It'd be easier to kill off the Air if the Pros got a price drop. As it stands there's a $300 gulf to make up between the 13" Air and any Retina laptop.

    How about a nice dark blue. Deep green..even a plaid would be better (kidding on the plaid).

    Or... actual black.

    None of this "Space Gray" stuff.

    Isn't space black?

    I've heard for almost 20 years that Apple isn't about market share over quality, but I keep reading stories like this. Tim is all about marketshare.
    Tim is all about selling products.

    Apple will never have a large "share" in the global smartphone market where over 300 million units are sold every quarter.

    But Apple can certainly try to sell as many units as they can... in as many markets as they can.  Why would they not?

    Nobody wants to sell fewer products.
