Communication is the key. Lack of it, was the real problem here.
I completely agree. Apple should have been proactive with communicating with their customers and for that matter with their employees.
It's interesting that either Angela felt the need to offer an explanation by doing this video or she was told to offer an explanation. Either way Apple put her out there front and centre, which was very deliberate.
There was just noway they were ready to launch the MacBook.
I think most people are expecting delays during a popular launch. However, some Apple Stores still had not seen or really heard anything a week after the launch.
My MacBook is scheduled to be delivered by May 15th. The USB to USB-C adapter will be delivered 10 days after that. Wow, their still scrabbling.
A WWDC launch could have been as they say "iconic".
