maybe pappa tim just recognizes that computer hardware has stagnated and doesn't want to make his beloved consumers pay premiums for refreshed macbooks that don't work any better than the old ones???

maybe he'd rather wait until they have a real upgrade to offer???

xbox and playstation do the same thing, and people complained when they started moving to more frequent refreshes.

the reality is that frequent upgrades are scam. apple doesn't want to scam you.

i was just trolling but now i've convinced myself.

Apple said the new Mac Pro won’t be out until 2019. they are literally incapable of just making a box with some pcie slots and drive bays in it because the industrial design group is going to gently caress it up by overengineering it.

I wonder if the Mac mini can go a whole decade without being updated


nope

apple should make an inexpensive aluminium mac tower and just call it "mac"

why. who is the market for that.

big dorks keep getting mad at apple for not making their edgecase poo poo and apple keeps printing money because running mac os correctly is all that matters for 99.9% of users. same as it’s always been.

jeezy creezy they release the worst macs ever and they're still outselling the ipad

who would have known that releasing an ipad mini and an ipad maxi to chase stupid user demands and terrible non-apple design niches would result in the brand tanking so badly?

theyre not outselling the ipads not by a long shot

macs are way more expensive so less sales bring more revenue

revenue != profit also

then go dig up the pie chart that shows the complete picture because that one definitely says the mac is outselling the ipad by three full percentage points no matter how you'd like to spin it

whatever happened to those mac desktops that were those silver towers that looked like they had a handle on the top and bottom? They were pretty drat popular. Every video editing dude i knew had one. it was a full-size tower, like the ones from the late 90s. i wanna say this was like 2004 or so. they were really popular and i am surprised apple is insisting on this literal garbage pail design

the cheese grater? power mac g5. g4s were silver color but more translucent plastic. the g4s are still occasionally sought after since they can boot into os 9 natively
