Relax. It will soon be good.

I wouldn't go as far as saying this is a design decission. But certainly it shows lack of management. From what I have seen from Big Sur so far it is a mess. Can't reinstall a brand new computer, bricks old computers. These are basic functions and with huge negative impacts for affected people. We don't talk about Mail crashing and you may loose one mail. We talk about essentially rendering your computer unusable (unless you have a 2nd one available in case of M1).
"It's not about the gigahertz and megahertz, but about what the customers are getting out of it." He went on to explain that specifications cannot represent how custom silicon can be "perfectly fit for the product and how the software will use it."
We went full circle 🤣 🤣 🤣
Steve Jobs was arguing this since like 2000 trying to explain how an 800Mhz G4 is equal in performance to 1.6Ghz intel chip. I think they used to call it "The Megahertz Myth". Can't believe they are still trying to explain this to people. Or maybe I am too old that I remember it and all the new generation do not know about it, and the topic is so old even the older generation can not remember it.
I don't know how you remembered that headline or how you found it, but please have my respect.
Not really, Apple dropped all ports for USB-C in 2016 and I would still say USB-A is more ubiquitous than USB-C. USB-C is the future, but that future is not here and we are in the transition period and we need both.
Just like how(I think) wireless charging is the future, but they have not dropped lightening port yet.

they wont.. they just told you that..
no it didnt.. it started way back..
Early involvement with ARM[edit]
In 1990, Acorn Computers made Apple the first significant third-party user of its ARM architecture, in the Newton personal digital assistant. The deal moved the ARM project to the separate legal entity ARM Holdings, in which Apple took a 43% stake,[5][6] and ARM was renamed from "Acorn RISC Machine" to "Advanced RISC Machines".Please provide a link where Apple officially said that they're not developing higher level Apple Silicon with more CPU/GPU cores to serve the higher end market....
I'd like to see the link as well, but there is no such thing. Apple is going to update the rest of the lineup next year and so. They have stated that officially. They made no comments as to what that looks like. Just because they didn't say they will create/use server chips for ARM does not mean they won't scale up the current 10V design.
I say that original statement is just negative speculation.
The lighted logo would look silly with LED backlighting, let alone mini-LED.
the sharp edge on the front can get uncomfortable: i'd prefer if it had a larger radius.
putting the indentation at the middle and making it narrow means you get thumbprints on the webcam - the wider notch on older MBPs is better for that.
The keyboard touches the screen when the lid is closed, so if you have oily skin you have to keep the keyboard scrupulously clean or get annoying squares on the screen.
Well, that did a lot of damage to Britain's geopolitical position, didn't it? Now the PRC is well on the way to supplanting America as the supreme military and economic power, and it could never have got there without free-ish trade. Maybe the world will benefit overall, maybe it won't, but America will not enjoy the transition.
if you read between the lines, guess you cant do that, let me break it to you: they talk people shouldnt/dont care for specs.. on point of that how better is ipad chip vs iphone? it has a bit stronger gpu and maybe a bit more ram, thats it, you can expect same philopsohy thru whole porable lineup for sure.
we will see what happens with desktop lineup, if you ask me, only there is some hope for some boost with same chip generation.

As stated before, negative speculation. The recent release was for low end and a big shock to everyone. I don't share the negative sentiment toward the conversion of the next set of machines. If Apple didn't care for the specs, nor wanted to share, they would not splash the technical details and M1 chip all over the site. They wouldn't spend time explaining the neural engine and unified memory. They did something amazing with Apple Silicon! Look at the response from the dev community. ARM development has been stalled and limited for years (I've contributed.) Just in the last two weeks I've seen more movement than years combined. Apple did this, they put ARM desktop on the map and made this real. This is extraordinary!
These are exciting times and welcome innovations that needed to happen. If this is yet more doom and gloom over Windows or bootcamp, wait a bit or checkout the Dell store.
I remember when that happened I knew they were up to something bigger than the mac, which turned out to be their own iPhone chip. I didn’t see them staying with Texas Instruments cpu. I’m glad you brought that up, ever since they switched to intel I always thought they would switch again to a better design and probably one where they would finally get the vertical integration completely in house.
Funny you mention PRC... China was the most advanced country in the world until they decided to isolate themselves. Rome was exceedingly strong, in part because they took the best of other cultures and incorporated them into their own. Blaming globalism for Britain and America’s problems misses the mark completely. Empires, even entire civilizations, fall. Just look at the Chinese, the Mongolians, the Egyptians, the Babylonians, the Romans, the Spaniards, the Persians, etc.
