Apple is going to make computer as small as cellphone, and make more money from your lifestyle.
Just ignore the small number of the pro's, they just making noises not profit!
That's 100% true. The current team at Apple is doing a complete 180 at what Jobs said. Examples of Apple's hypocrisy:
"Apple does not ship junk"
- Look at the Mac Pro, storage on Mac mini, non-user upgradeable storage/ram, butterfly keyboards etc.
"You have to start with the customer experience and work backwards to the technology"
- Customers don't want to spend tons of money for crappy GPU's which are going to be outdated in a year and can't be upgraded without buying a brand new computer.
- Customers don't want to store everything on iCloud in lieu of cold storage.
- Customers don't want to not have SD card slot just so they're incentivized to buy more storage from apple.
- Customers don't want to buy monopolized anti-consumer storage/ram directly from Apple for 3x-7x the cost they'd pay elsewhere.
- Customers don't want to buy a brand new computer with every OS update which cripples the last gen computers useless with increased RAM/storage usage
- Customers don't want to buy a million dongles just for basic necessities like USB/HDMI
- Customers don't want a keyboard which sucks so bad to the point where no one likes it
“If you keep your eye on the profit, you’re going to skimp on the product. But if you focus on making really great products, then the profits will follow.”
- Why is AAPL a publicly traded stock then?
- Why are Apple's products not consumer-friendly anymore?
- Why are Apple's products not user-upgradeable anymore?
- Why doesn't Apple put out the best computers they can, rather than incrementally adding features which are readily available?
- Why does Apple use AMD GPU's when Nvidia is clearly superior in just about every way?
Both Apple and Nvidia need to get their chit together and stop acting like babies. Nvidia lost half it's value, so needs to lower it's ego and start letting Apple use their cards without some sort of exclusive deal they wanted. Nvidia also needs to allow Apple to test their cards before confirming the deals. Apple needs to lower its ego and listen to consumers if it wants long-term consumer retention.
