Here is my honest take; and you won’t agree but it’s my opinion; apple has lost everything that used to make it great,
I'm honestly curious: What exactly made it great that differs from now?
all the updates are minor,
I personally would not categorize the complete redesign of the iMac, an entry into a new product category, and putting a desktop-class chip on the iPad Pro as "minor".
the airtags I don’t see the point,
One of the best features of Apple's ecosystem is "Find My". Now you can add that to
anything you can lose. One instance of having lost your wallet with your driver's license, credit cards, insurance cards, etc in it, then having to spend an entire day at the DMV, another on the phone with banks and your insurance carrier and you'll understand the point REAL quick.
Apple TV has a way old chip and nothing really new still over priced,
It has been upgraded from the remote to the output, but I don't care about it so I won't argue this one.
the new iMac is well in my opinion disgusting it looks like a Lenovo all in one, it now makes the old one look nicer, the new one just looks like a kids computer now.
The silver one looks very similar (perhaps better in my eyes) to the outgoing one from the front, and the colored ones are a matter of taste, although I also don't like where they went with the colored ones. I am happy that colors are out there again though. I do like the thinness and magnetic connector and Ethernet on the brick quite a bit. Even the braided power cable and matching color peripherals are cool.
The iPad Pro is kinda cool but again all this power and hardware just to run iOS apps there is nothing my 2018 can’t run on it so what’s the point, am I missing something but where is the wow factor gone;
You mean ALSO run iOS apps, but I can be fairly certain your 2018 will not run the same apps
LIKE THIS NEW ONE.
However, if what you want is a Mac in an iPad body and you're not really into and what the iPad really is then this device was never for you to begin with. Just because a car and a truck have the same V8 in it doesn't mean they'll both perform the same on and off the road.
as usual the hype before an event is always a lot better,
Can't argue against personal preferences
about spend to much time talking about climate change in these events,
These things matter to us lefties and/or centrists and give us another reason to invest in Apple besides their products, and Apple knows it.
I am upset because a company I love has gone so down hill; yeah they make a lot of money but speaking from a huge apple fan I just don’t get excited anymore;
I was in that same place back in 2012, when they started soldering everything, and going to the flat design I used to hate (it grew on me after 9 years or so), so I understand your pain. When iOS 7 came out I went Samsung Galaxy and never looked back until this year. Perhaps it is time to try a different company to see if they're a better fit for you.
Us Dark Side of the Force users are meant to thrive in conflict, but that's what happens when a traitorous Sith murders his master and then dies, and his goody-two-shoes son tries to train you.
You end up a "Ren" in the worst thing that could happen to our Galaxy.
Apple, just take my money already!
