The mark 3 Ford Cortina was 5 years young when it was discontinued in 1976 so there might be some life left in this 2014 model yet.
They haven’t made new ones in years. That’s what “ripoff” means to you? Please explain how this comment makes any sense.This, like the Pro, is damning evidence of how Apple likes to rip off their customers.
Yeah, they don't know what they are doing.Shame on you, Apple.
Um no it’s not... there are often October events and occasionally November events. It is still October so it’s not pretty late.love it how some are clinging to updates this year, its pretty late in the year for another event and still no sign of invitations to an event.
I have a bad feeling this will be the case. If there isn't one, I will abandon macOS for good. I can't run a business using hardware that never gets updated.
I absolutely love macOS and would never consider switching to Windows or Linux but I have to say it's very hard to stay a loyal customer of Apple desktop hardware. Hackintosh sounds great but every update is a gamble, don't tell me it's not, I've been running one for 4.5 years, did every update and upgrade possible and spent hours fixing stuff. Sure it runs macOS but it's nowhere near a proper Mac experience. Sad times.
I find it odd that they didn't even bother with a processor or graphics upgrade a couple years ago. Apple just let it sit and become outdated.
It’s make or break for Apple. They can’t not know it. Fail here and there will be lots of disappointed potential customers. The iMac Pro is all well and good, but there’s a large appetite for modularity (Mini) and user customization (Pro).

And the 2014 Mac Mini model was really just a soft refresh of the 2012 model, the real last upgrade.
No, Mac Sales per unit are going down while iPad unit sales are increasing as more and more home users see no need for a computer anymore. The Mac has been skewed toward business/pro customers. Thats probably not changing any time soon. I don't see millions of people who only have an iPad RUSHING to buy a new mac mini or MB Air. Tech habits are shifting.The Mac line has become a hobby project for Apple. Even the Apple TV has been getting more focus than some Mac products.
No wonder Mac sales are going down with the lack of updates and the terrible releases of the past years.
