I don't know if this is true. They've been committed to IC manufacturing in the past because it gave them a huge technical advantage over their competitors.

They weren't a manufacturing company--they were a 'design a system which costs a few dollars to manufacture, and then sell it for 100's or 1000's of dollars company', and having the world's best IC manufacturing capability was key to their success. Pure-play integrated circuit foundries aren't that profitable.

I'm using my mid-2012 Macbook Air and my wife is using her mid-2012 15" macbook pro (non-retina) just fine.

It may be that they haven't been updated because an update hasn't been necessary yet.

I could go out and replace my wife's laptop and my laptop in a minute. I haven't done it because we don't need to. What we bought in 2012 is still good. That's a testament to Apple, and that people think it's bad is pretty hosed up and dumb.
