Apple needs to sell more iPads and MacBooks. I wonder what they have up their sleeves in 2015 to make that happen.

How about pressure sensitive touch screen, matte screens, new GPUs, upgradeable macs, laptop with fusion drive, hdmi2.0, dp1.3, wireless charging, configurable MP (2 x GPU + 1 x CPU or 1 x GPU + 2 x CPU), etc...
And only thing that really happens this year is retina mba with usb3.1 and that's enough for people go nuts. Something more then in 2016 or when iPhones sales are stalling... and if watch will be another atv...

Since tech specs are usually not how Apple sells its device. The whole, experience thing, reciting this whole litany of things makes little sense.

It's not as bad as Google where almost all of their profits come from their search engine. Now, that's a one trick pony.

At their core business they both are one trick ponies. One phone and a search engine.

Maybe you are right and that's why macPro is targeted for professionals that know nothing about specs.
Although, I'm no so sure how tech spec is a screen without disturbing sharp reflections?
Or how tech spec is "iPad just got as good to draw to than Wacom"?

The fact they now has a billion Chinese people able to buy the iPhone now, they only got in to the Chinese market last year remember.

They've been in the China market for much longer than a year, my friend. The significant news from last year is that iPhones are now sold through the biggest mobile carrier in the country, China Mobile.
