Isn’t a can of beer already the equivalent of a Keurig cup for beer? I guess I need to read more details on that, must be missing something!
NOBODY TALKING ABOUT LG MICROBREW????
You don't read the Apple news much, do you? (Just the last couple of years) Apple is spending billions in AI alone (which includes buying out several AI startup companies, costing Apple many hundreds of millions so far).Remember when Apple was actually the most innovative? Like actually creating new and exciting stuff?
I think they stopped as they felt no need to do anything but iPhones. It was the simplest and cheapest.
Why to invest in new R&D when you can sell 10,000 more iPhones just like that
and earn way more money without spending any?
Also, don't forget to throttle the chipset, ditch all the ports, solder all the parts together to eliminate upgradability, glue the entire thing together into a $5000 disposable blob. As cynical as I feel that is, I also suspect they know they can't get away with all that on such a grand scale, and, that inability to do so is why they don't do a 17".
While I agree with what you're trying to say "buying out several AI startup companies" is not spending money doing R&D; it's buying someone else's R&D.You don't read the Apple news much, do you? (Just the last couple of years) Apple is spending billions in AI alone (which includes buying out several AI startup companies, costing Apple many hundreds of millions so far).
They might not be the "best" at things right now (e.g. AI), but they are still serious about investing in R&D.
Does it ever get old repeating the same tired script over and over and over again?

Or a MacRumors article on how to make a hackintosh from that 17" one in the vid.Hey Apple, how about bringing back the 17-inch MacBook?!
17 inch MacBook could certainly be lighter and thinner today. But I’m not sure I would want another one, with the power and simplicity of USB-C, and affordable monitors, the large laptop display seems unnecessary. Probably impractical to many business travelers too. Try using that on a plane today, LOL. I think I have come to love the 15 inch display.
I imagine it would be almost impossible as a first time hackintosh project, but it does make me say "Hmmmm...".The laptop has very thin bezels so it has only a slightly larger footprint than the 15 inch MacBook Pro.
