MacBook Pro With Touch Bar Now Available for Purchase at Some Apple Retail Stores

You should better inform yourself.....
THis is the very first time that you cannot directly connect an iPhone-ipad to your own macbook.
Pathetic....!

You can. You just need to buy an extra USB-C to Lightning cable for it.

It's like people complaining that the iPhone came with just 16 gb base storage when the 64 gb and 128 gb models can be had at cheaper prices compared to previous models.

I am pretty sure that amongst the complaints leveled at the MacBook, the inability to plug in your iPhone with the existing Lightning cable wasn't one of them. I guess now that the MacBook Pro has more ports and that criticism is no longer valid, I guess it was only a matter of time before they found something new to complain about.

And if Apple has made over half a million dollars, you have earned more than double that. Don't make yourself sound all holier than thou. You did it for the money, plain and simple. You have prospered, Apple has sold more hardware, your clients have gotten useful software, everyone has benefited in this partnership, and nobody owes anyone else anything more beyond what they have already paid.

If you feel Android offers a better development environment and can be more lucrative, leave by all means. Don't feel compelled to stay for my sake or anyone else's. I wish you all the best.

And if you want me to kiss those apps goodbye, I am prepared to. List the apps you make. Here and now. If I use those apps, I will delete them right away. If not, I promise to never download them ever. Because there is little which irritates me more than an arrogant app developer who thinks he is owed the world just because he has had a little success with some app out there.

Telling the actually successful developers to leave LOL. Better start shopping for Androids, fanboy.

Correction. The successful, arrogant ones.

I am happy and grateful to these developing these great apps for the people to enjoy, but don't presume to have an overinflated sense of worth, much less try to rub it in my face. The Apple ecosystem is bigger than any one superstar app developer, however successful they may be (or think they may be).

My initial point still stands. The developers who are profiting from Apple will continue to develop for Apple regardless of what hardware they are using or have to use, because that's their bread and butter and because that's where the money is.

If some developers wish to leave because the new MacBook Pro doesn't have 32 gb of ram or they need to use an adaptor or purchase a new cable, then they are willing to give up a revenue source just to spite Apple. I wish these people all the best in their future endeavours. If they won't make the apps I want to use, I will vote with my wallet and find someone else who does.

That's all there is. They decide if it's worth their while to quit.
