iOS 14 looks like an actual big update, the first since what, iOS 11 ?

I sure hope that 'follow the focus' feature for AirPods works with these PowerBeats Pro I just bought

As a power Beats Pro owner owner, I doubt it.

I have a 2012 MacBook. Still supported by Apple, but I’m betting not much longer. Runs fine, so likely any upgrades will be in a year or two when (In theory) poo poo gets more stable and a $1,000+ laptop is a more feasible purchase.

If someone was buying a laptop now, would it be really smart or dumb to buy a 2020 MacBook Air (or Pro) ?

The new MacBooks just got released and overall great reviews , so I’m just curious if people buying them are screwed out of future support as it switches to ARM, or better because the first round of ARM could be rocky since it’s a transition ?

You'd be fine. It should be good for at the very least 3 years. If you're still using a 2012 now, that's an 8 year old machine.

Totally agree for 3ish years. Whenever I buy a Mac , the goal is longevity, so its more "would it last 5-8 ish years" support wise , both from Apple and developers ?

Yeah. For my timing, i expect my Mac Air to last at least another 2 years. Its just a web browsing and email machine at this point, my iPad / iPhone have mostly replaced it. So i'll likely go with whatever Arm Mac after the kinks are worked out, or possibly a 2020 Mac on sale depending on prices.
