New MacBook Pros Don't Include Backlit Apple Logo or Power Extension Cable

[AidenShaw]

No, because it had nothing to do with homosexuality. It has solely to do with the fact that Apple is screwing over their clients. If this was about HP a decade ago I would have said the same thing about Carly Fiorina.

What would Carly do to you when you bent over?

Are you sure that it has nothing to do with homosexuality?

"'HP' or 'Apple' screwed you over" is crude language.

"Yup, now bend over, uncle Timmy has another thing he wants to sell..." is a blatant homophobic reference.

I hope, just hope, that once their space ship Campus is finished, they can actually start making great products without the inclusions (which, of course includes those with thinner wallets).
Otherwise, iOut.

so sorry to say, but I need an eye doctor after reading your post. I might have caught eye cancer or something.
please take the time to proof read and spare your fellow forum users from needless afflictions.
thanks in advance for your consideration.

So the extension cord that was previously included is now $19 extra?

Apple's greed has no bounds.

It is the A la Carte method

iOut is going to be their next product: you take your obsolete Mac products and Apple takes them from you, for a price of course... the price of Courage and Experience.

Worst Release! I know you will get one more email from Phil on why he removed Backlit Logo...... What a bummer.

The main display isnt OLED only the little touch bar is. The display is still the same LED LCD retina with some slight changes to manufacturing to yield better contrast ratio and brightness.

Yea, my bad.. I went and looked it up and corrected my post... thanks.

The A la f-you customers method.

That's basically gibberish. Can you restate it in English?

(Apologies if English isn't your first language - but it doesn't make much sense in standard English.)

I wasn't going to say anything, but yes, he is in Ireland and has no excuse for not writing utilizing proper English grammar.

Jonathan Harpur I will stop compiling thank you very much. Actually, I stopped doing that many years ago...

My first MBP came with an Apple Remote, a DVI-VGA adapter and an extension cord in the box..

I am beginning to wonder what is going to replace my current 2013 MacBook Pro.

You and me both, although I hope mine will last another 3 years. I was planning to use the MBPR to replace my 21.5" Late 2009 iMac is 7 years old now. You know, just hook it up to a monitor. After seeing this price hike, I shudder to think of what the next gen iMacs will cost and doubt very much that I will be able to justify a new machine at these prices anytime soon.

Microsoft Surface if we continue to see this crappy stuff. I am getting annoyed day by day with these kind of release. Its not that I am dont love any apple products but its time to make apple great again.

I could live without the backlit Apple logo if they would have included DDR4 RAM and more RAM.

Due to much improved upon cass latency on DDR3 Ram DDR4 offers little performance improvement whatsoever. Not a big issue actual at all.

I had to read it thrice, and still can't make sense of even 1/3 of that

Apple's greed has no bounds.

Given Apple is charging $19, the production cost for Apple must be less them $5. Apple can afford to including this with a $2000 Macbook. I do wonder if this greed will hurt the public's perception of Apple. Apple's brand is one of Apple most valuable assets, could this kind of greed result in losses to the Apple brand value far greater than the small extra profits they make from people paying an extra $19?

I have four of them. I'll give the other three to anybody who really gives a **** about this.

I do .

Work just issued me a Dell XPS13 so I don't have to cart my Personal MacBook Air around anymore. I love it. It is a very nice machine.

I looked at them earlier today. Nice specs except for the GPU. Based on many reviews on the Dell site it seems to have some annoying quality issues.

the best way to show a company your dissatisfaction is in the pocketbook. By not opening it up.
Maybe this will be the learning moment for ****** Cook. He's had a pretty easy ride considering Steve
gave him a blueprint to follow before he passed. Thats my guess anyways.

yup and the set of instructions for him to follow just ran out...

"Yup, now bend over, uncle Timmy has another thing he wants to sell..." is a blatant homophobic reference.

I'll tell you know you grow up.

The death of the glowing logo is another thing to add on the list of achievements by Tim Cook.

The rMacbook price hasn't changed downunder. The non-touch bar MAcbook Pro isn't that much more expensive than the rMacbook considering it includes 2 connection ports and a more powerful processor. I think I'll wait for the sales at one of the retailers.
