Apple CEO Tim Cook Visits Fifth Avenue Store as iPhone 11 Launch Day Continues Around the World

I'll disagree with you on all of that, except Soldered on RAM (and even there I don't have a huge problem. I more have a problem with the fact that 8GB is the default configuration on the MacBook Pro and you can't buy a 16GB in the store (in an otherwise-base config) and walk out with it.)
I think most pros want the laptop to be lighter, thinner, and portable as long as it can perform well. They'll deal with the Thunderbolt 3 ports to connect everything (power, video, network, peripherals, etc.) because it keeps everything neat and clean.

Fair enough. Maybe I'm just old school. For example, when I upgraded from an iPhone 5s to a 7, I didn't think I would miss the headphone jack, but I still do. If I had to use a dongle for basically every single thing on my laptop, I'd probably go mad. I don't use a laptop for my professional work, so I compromise performance for the sake of convenience.

Yes, a Pro sign. Because nothing says Pro like wasting your time waiting in line to buy the "latest and greatest" product that has marginal improvements, while completely abandoning their "Pros" in all their product lines from servers, to desktops, to laptops.

I keep wondering why some people get so worked up about product labels?

Do gamers get the shakes regarding the PlayStation 4 Pro, or is it just a subset of the Apple community?

The phone being used to take the selfie doesn't look like an iPhone. Was this supposed to be a joke?

I guess I’m shocked people still line up for product launches

Those people seem to value their time differently than most
