Lot of people saying the phone wouldn’t have gotten bigger, but the Android side showed that people wanted OMG HEUG phones.
I think the notch would have never passed the Jobsian review.
I do think that the camera bump would also have driven him crazy so he might have ordered the team to design around it.
But there’s not much you can really do once the shape reaches the flat rectangle. So, I don’t the phones would be radically different.
Enjoy your green bubbles forever, you ‘Droiders.
Option 3. Stop moderating altogether.
The conflict of interest is mostly hypothetical on Reddit.
It could become very real at MacRumors.
I am not a lawyer or even very educated, nor am I your lawyer or your barely educated internet stranger.
They’ll just take it out of the Google search money.
The upsell. People who don’t need 16GB will not care. People who do will pay it. That’s basically free money.
Reverse future proofing. If you think 8GB is cramped now, imagine 3-4 years from now when most of these computers will still be in use. Users may hit the upgrade cycle quicker.
Profit margins. After the return of Steve Jobs, Apple simple will not sell any hardware without a hefty profit margin.
I feel like buying M2 14” MBP’s on the resale market is the only way to “fight back.”
Give them nothing at all for the MB Pro 14” M3 not-pro.
I predict they’ll release the M4 family.
It’s just the M3’s, but fuckit, bigger numbers are betterer.
Steve Jobs comes back as a zombie then starts criticizing everybody about how hard it is to get brains out of a skull and spends the next 4 years in top secrecy to develop a candy-colored brain removal kit.
It’d be cool if they released a new iMac in Bondi blue.
By high-end, do you mean three-year old games that run kind of ok?
I’m a Mac diehard, but these “gamer” flare-ups that they do periodically only highlights how not-gamer Apple computers are.
It’s like a chronic jock itch some one at the Big Spaceship needs to itch every now and again with about the same result.
I think they could do a 12” MacBook no-suffix with basically previous gen M-chips (or even A-chips?) and a air-cooled set-up so as to not have to over-engineer cooling. Using cheaper shit and fans would degrade the base MBA M1 experience just enough to make it cheap, I guess.
I mean, I don’t know how you get something that the M1 MBA doesn’t already do. Just whack $200 off the price of the MBA M1 and save yourself the trouble. Maybe make them cool, fruity colors and call the chip the M1X or some shit.
Lotta people here ain’t the first, tho. Just people who shit on Apple.
