Maybe Apple's Board of Directors should put a visionary into the CEO position - someone who actually cares about the products?
Now hiring

A large electronics and fashion company looking for a visionary.
REQUIREMENTS:
– must be visionarious

To avoid post deletion by moderators (which will happen anyway, I'm sorry mods, I'm not really a troll) I'll add a bit on topic: I do not see how 3D Touch or pencil on Air 3 would cannibalise iPad Pro sales. It's a bit like saying that copybook sales will cannibalise canvas sales. Air is half the size of Pro. That should really be enough difference. Some people would love a Pencil but have no use for a huge screen. Some people need the huge screen and a Pencil to go with it.
I can't wait for Respected Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo to make some Macbook related predictions, I'm dying to find out what the future holds. But I guess it's easier to say iPhone 7 will be released in the fall.
