Sad. Really sad.

So, you now turn to ranting about the .0 not being good for release ?
Why don't you come down from soaring in dreamland, and read up on how it is done in the real world, and how many beta's preceed the .0
there is none, and never shall be, an operating system, that is without flaws.:cool:

It’s great that you are having a conversation with yourself. I’m sure it all makes sense to you in your mind and on your planet. For the rest of us on planet earth, we’ll be here when you can process information and present a coherent and accurate response. You can’t state you are contrary and make a similar point.

I think the OP's point really is just a bit of astonishment at the fact that the inventory of rMBPs isn't turning over very fast (at least at this store). It certainly provides some anecdotal evidence that they're not selling well. For those of us who are ambivalent about Apple's new machines, this is bittersweet -- hopefully Apple will listen and make something better with the next iteration.

Of course we really have no idea when Mojave made it to mass production either, so hard to tell much from a production model still having it. They maybe changed it over with the release of the Vega models because the Vega models require an included driver.

It’s nothing of the sort without some sort of reality based baseline.

I think it's more likely that Apple will blame it's problems on others and not change a thing in the way they operate.
 
I agree with the OP. My son just bought a 13" MBP and same thing, High Sierra.

I realize they are not going to update current stock, but the fact they have stock over 2 months old tells me these things are not selling well or they made way too many.

The reason I like more current HW is in case they did any silent changes to fix issues (think T2)

As someone posted, some configurations sell slowly. All 15" rMBP configurations are going to sell more slowly than 13" machines due to price. If you want the latest, you're probably better off ordering online from Apple itself.

Why too many ?, would your son rather have waited 3 weeks for Apple to manufacture his MBP after order ?
Instead of pulling it from the shelf, and update it himself in 15 mins.

Product manufacturing is a process that gets refinements over time as data is fed back regarding QA/QC issues - so there is no guarantee that a machine created today is created the same way or to the same standard of one created say 3 months ago. This is across all manufacturers of course, not Apple specific. So I can definitely see why people would hope for the "freshest" of stock, even though there may actually have been no change - it is a bit of peace of mind I guess.

I can definitely see the point of wanting the freshest in that regard, but with similar issues still being reported with the new ones. It seems that it’s just a lottery pick and you hope you get a problem free one. Many that got the very first ones off the line still have no issues.
