I don’t think there is much hope for good change. What made Apple worth its premium starting with the first Macintosh was the idea that design and function are inseparable. Unfortunately, after Ive left, Apple seems to have adopted the pedestrian industry idea that engineering and aesthetics are independent. Deign is now look and feel tacked on to make function look pretty. Icons and buttons change style every few versions with no functional gain — just visual refreshes that break muscle memory. Simple tasks get hidden behind multiple clicks and cryptic ellipses. Gawd help you find the thing you need to change in the Control Panels, I mean the System Preferences, doh, I mean the System Settings.

Way to go @MacRumors.
Let’s encourage more non-developers to access this non-public beta, eliciting more negative feedback.
Is this article meant simple to engage more web traffic, or further infuriate those who understand the beta process, over those who simply want immediate gratification.

I'm still angry about this.

16" was available new as late as 2021. Doesn't excuse not supporting the 15" though. The cutoffs are arbitrary and have been for a long time.
