Are you really? I mean think about it; are you really?
I've been hearing this song for YEARS. It's not without merit, I'll admit. But people have been saying that Apple is an "iPod company not a pro company anymore" or "they only care about shiny colorful iMacs" and so on and so forth. For the last two decades.
Apple cut the iPhone 7's headphone jack "Nobody will buy them! This is the undoing of Apple!" No more 4" screen size "the undoing of Apple!", and yet all of these devices, consistently, sell out. Now the cheap, easy, no-critical-thinking-necessary response is "Sheeple sheeple sheeple" and claim that everyones a moron and buys it just because it has an Apple logo. Bias is real and there definitely are people with more money than sense who will buy ANYTHING with an Apple logo on it.
BUT; there's also the reality that, like it or not; Apple knows what sells. It's why they are ridiculously successful. Instead of chasing niche customers and enthusiasts (mainstream customers don't get on an internet messageboard to talk about their computers. MacRumors, Reddit, et al is not an accurate cross-section of Apple's consumerbase), Apple goes for the "target rich environment" and scores everytime. They'll sell out like they do with everything else.
Right or wrong I'm not arguing. Good or bad, I'm not arguing. Have they forgotten pro users? Well, I think I first heard that in 1998 and have consistently heard it ever since (you can just search this forum and find YEARS worth of "This officially marks Apple no longer caring about pro customers" threads). But, maybe this time it's "for real". Maybe? Maybe not. But the fact remains, it's gonna sell. People aren't going to boycott. In fact, people are going to buy them, love them, and buy them again. And Apple will continue to make tremendous amounts of money to the chagrin and bewilderment of it's competitors, and even it's formerly loyal fans who feel left behind by the newer generation of hardware.
I wish we got 32GB of RAM but I think I can survive.
