I want companies like microsoft, adobe, and others to go through the app store, because otherwise they’re a fucking plague on the system and install a bunch of stupid shit that is hard to get rid off.

But if they go through apples system, getting rid of things is really quite easy.

Probably not as much of an issue on iOS, but if macOS is any indication of what’s in store for sideloading, no fucking thanks, I’d much prefer my walled garden.

"When people say Apple fans are sheep this is what they mean.

there are words for people that talk like this as well, hint none of them are pleasant.

They are offering something no one else is, the EU want’s to remove it from the market and people who value choice should applaud it?

I think that’s the point. If you’re doing graphics design or rendering, you should be using an max. Pro is a like office apps, some programming, etc. and the baser model for people that want to play media and browse socialmedia.

It’s a pretty nice lineup.

Adding their own cellular silicon would cost little

They’re kinda struggling there from the sounds of it.

I think anyone with access to fiber to the curb internet access would be crazy to opt for 5g instead. Unless you really don’t care about consistent and reliable internet access. Which so people don’t and that’s fine. If I only streamed movies, and browsed, I certainly wouldn’t.

But the upstream speeds on cellular are garbage. It takes more electricity to run, generates more heat, and it’s still half duplex right?

eww.

it would, but I don’t know if they would do that.

It would be a fair bit of overhead for a function many would not use, and cellular tech makes more sense in a phone, because people are more likely to have that with them than a laptop.

They could have it as an option, but then it would further fragment their laptop line.

Personally, I wouldn’t do it if I was them. Almost everyone has a phone, and the network connection can be shared, it’s really not a hassle.

Well less choice, if you want to get all your apps through the app store.

A macbook “pro” that doesn’t have even a Pro chip in it. Yeah not a fucking pro. WTH apple.

I’m really happy to see Apple macing cheap feature lacking things… /s

So, just like an m1 air from like 3 years ago.
