apple tv needs to be updated, and homeKit sucks and needs to be developed. I kind of feel that Apple makes ****** software too. All devices after update become slow and iphone 7 or new macbook pros are gimmick as hell.
Latest updates with messages and icons and kisses are pathetic and useless.

I believe Tim is LOL at us. What a great politician he would make!
I really hope MS release a killer new OS so I can leave Apple once and for all.
I'm a mac mini user and it has been the best mac I have ever owned it also gives me the freedom to choose my monitor but honestly I feel the mac mini is over. And the 2014 iteration was the last one. It's sadDon't kill the Mac mini
Exactly! I completely agree and see the multiple chiefs issue.
Joswiak (is this his birth surname or something too similar to Wozniak for the comfort of old fans?) and Tchai both in charge of iPad and hardware Marketing.
hardware Marketing used to be Shiller's job. But Phil is hosting the iPhone 7/7+ ?! Was that not the job for His Hairness? (Apple enough with the executive staff nicknames put them to real work) now this guy is in charge of iOS and macOS (cause well innovation on the kernel level may have died with OSX) OSX was supposed to last 20yrs according to Jobs but didn't even last 16 (debuted in 2001 as beta).
Then Ive who decides what gets a design package for profits and what doesn't.
Is everyone at Apple using MBP and iMac's internally for hardware design and structure? Well with a good trainer on iTunes U and iPad for developers budding who knows maybe the future is iPads with servers run by Amazon in the cloud to do the real work and Pro keyboard pencil Magic Trackpad and Apple TV to project on home tv.
iMac with nVidia 1080 please!
I'm sick of poor mobile GPU performance in Apple's hardware.
And their twisted marketing that "new Pro machine has 30% faster graphics than previous model".
If previous model was total crap then something 30% faster is still crap.
We don't need thinner, we need FAAAASTER!
Whatever they will come up with - it will be hard to beat Microsoft Studio.
Especially with ease of accessibility (replaceable drives, yay) and tilting feature which really matches touchscreen style of work.

My experience is exactly the opposite. Overall I find macOS as with OS X before it to be more responsive. True Windows 10 performs well on Hardware specifically developed to run it but Windows 10 has negatively impacted many a Windows 7/Windows 8.1 Laptops. This most prevalent when updating to the 1607 Windows 10 Anniversary Update where performance takes a dramatic hit.
It is not unreasonable to expect a mainstream release to run well on a run of the mill machine typically with a Intel Celeron/i3 CPU with 4GB RAM however with in the case of Windows 10 in many cases it simply does not perform.
They need the time to redesign the outer casing so that it has less port holes.
People are getting really hyped about the Surface Studio. Let's be honest, I think the only reason is because it's a really unexpectedly neat piece of design from Microsoft - like they're really putting out interesting stuff all of a sudden. But the system has plenty of limitations in terms of specification, and isn't exactly a powerhouse.
More ports = More flexibility.
In my case the perfect mix would be Firewire 800, USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt.
5 years ago, Sculley still had this rotten Apple CEO aura, but things have changed in the recent years.
Right now, we have a CEO that makes Sculley look like a visionary genius.

I'd be fine if the laptop was as is but kept the SD card and magsafe. The macbook pro is an utter disappointment.
The thing is we invented these skills and brought china to power by training them in secret i might add.

People could speak with their wallets and shut these companies off, if so they would listen.

You fail to see the real issue here and blame the nation that invented the computer! What has china invented!? The Mac Pro was designed by Apple! That's the issue that they caused! It sounds like to me you are china lobbing.
No way we are ever going to see a new mac released with what Apple considers to be legacy ports.
The desktop productline will consist of iMac and iMac only with an array of USB-C ports and all parts soldered, non-user accesible/replacable.
They are moving to merge the product lines, or actually to fold the desktop line into ios machines. It might take a few more generations, but sadly that is what is going to happen.

It because Tim Cook and the Execs are not creative on thinking outside the box. With all that R&D money waste on meaningless emojis. And with them blame Intel and suppliers for issues. Apple can essentially buy AMD to R&D and produce their future of AI, VR, and every chip needed in Mac lineup. That's why Tim Cook's future roadmap seems like he's waiting for the next decade to put anything meaningful out. Apple is on the verge of losing their ecosystem and Iphone X can't save them with managements blinders on. Sad but Scully=Cook is letting apples core rot. I'm leaving Apple products totally if nothing materializes by 2018
Most dangerous for Apple, as a long term customer I no longer care...

Apparently we can only build weapons of mass destruction, and guns.

I guess you're going to have to demand a raise from your boss. If he says no you'll have to unionize and go on strike. When you do this you'll no longer be a bloodsucker.
"We Have Great Desktops in Our Roadmap"
"Mac fans shouldn't hold their breath for radical new designs in 2017 though. Instead, the company is preparing modest updates…"
So it's going to be a long road trip and we should stop asking "Are we there yet?"

I want a SEVENTEEN Inch rMBP. My 15"is too small. Thinner and lighter is great, smaller is bad.
Figure It Out
I think it's more like people should stop acting like they are entitled, wait to see what Apple have in store. I will be looking to see what iMacs they announce next year, if they aren't anything major and just processor updates, I will hang onto my 2013 iMac and wait for the following year. We simply don't know what Apple has in store, but I keep seeing the same comments over and over again, "Apple is doomed" "fire Tim Cook" and so on, unless you have Apple stock people really aren't entitled to demand such things.
The Mac OS has (arguably) always been superior to Windows. This is irrelevant. Windows overtook Apple and it has stayed that way, ALWAYS.
Microsoft (and their OEMs) is now producing compelling hardware too (ironically taking Steve Jobs' famous advice), and hardware that make Apple hardware look archaic in comparison. Windows 10, despite being Windows, is the best Windows Msoft's ever made. I was actually impressed, even if it lacks the polish us Mac users are used to. But the masses, the computer-buying masses aren't used to Apple's polish, and W10 hardware is way more interesting than Apple's at this point.
Apple has been spinning its wheels since 2012/2013.
Whatever you want to call it "spoiled by the past great products, entitlement, impatience etc., Apple has clearly no vision for the Mac from the top.
I posted before that if I was presented with the Hello again agenda , I would have asked: What, that is it? and would have canceled it.
It was embarrassing, embarrassing, embarrassing. Did I mention : embarrassing?
Many of us do have the Apple required patience to wait what they do next and it is understood that they like to release things on their time table.
But, the latest evidence shows NOTHING!!!
3 years no updates of "PRO" gear in todays tech world is like an eternity, regardless of available chips from Intel.
The constant boasting about 3 mm thinner, 17% by volume (LOL) is just dumb. I can also deflate a product by taking out vital things and make it thinner. Whatever they take out gets put back via dongles from the outside.
I am also not for firing and getting new people who make the same old mistake, but Apple's ears must be ringing from doing really stupid stuff and getting called out on it.
Just one example: Who asked for and why would one remove a great invention like magsafe? To safe 3 mm or whatever?
Who from the pro field is even asking for thinner and thinner and thinner? If anything they want all the power and conveniences they can get. They would probably schlepp around a tower if that was working.
Lastly Apple, stop glueing the $%&^ pro stuff together. Even you guys can't fix your own stuff any more.
What is wrong if a tinkerer can upgrade an SSD or some chips.
Grandma and Grandpa don't buy MBPs , let alone open any electronic device.
