How about doing that right now, or will the reduced price MacBook Air have a 64 GB SSD, 2 GB RAM and an even slower processor?

Oh, wow! I never noticed that! Each year Apple adds support for new emoji! I wonder why they do that? Hmm.
Well, clever observation! Good job.
The MBA is a high-volume device which they certainly won't want to sell at or near break-even. So to reduce the price, they need to bring down cost which obviously isn't something they can just do right now.

Hmm. I feel like someone here just posted something about this topic. Hmm.
That Headline is his favorite phrase...It's already getting old.
What would the “hack from Compaq” know about mind blowing products?
Slapping the word Pro on everything and jacking up the price does not make you an innovator.

I agree (e.g. no MagSafe concept for USB C, anemic laptops where iPad Pro is more capable but Xbox like gamepads are not allowed to be exclusive for games, requiring finger touches, making high value gaming too difficult)
Many talk about how Tim has significantly increased the stock value. Imagine if Steve Jobs were alive and healthy. Apple products could again be years ahead of their time and the Stock value could be over 2 trillion.
Seriously, this is about as predictable as him coming up on stage in June and saying, "This is the best version of iOS we've ever produced." Or in September proclaiming, "These are the best iPhones ever!"
Ah yes, the incredibly weak innovations of Apple Watch, Airpods, and FaceID.
Maybe my sarcasm detector is broken - at least I hope it is.
Well, the Newton was actually quite innovative - though the technology level was just barely there, yet.
That's an excellent point. Innovation is an iterative process. If not for the lessons Apple learned on Newton, there never would have been an iPhone.
This folding Samsung will not have much impact on the market itself, but it is a major innovation that may or may not lead to a major revolution/disruption in the market. Whether or not this particular idea gains traction, this is what companies have to do to innovate. Apple is no longer capable of innovation like this.
I'd argue the Newton by 1990's standards was a much more refined product than those folding phones are by 2019 standards. Rest assured that Apple has had prototypes of foldable iPhones for some time. But Apple doesn't ship prototypes.
No. I said on a high-volume device like the MBA, they won't want to go near break-even in order to reduce prices.
I doubt it.
I’m not convinced Apple would be better off with Jobs at the helm with the company at its current size and trajectory anyway. I have to wonder if he would have stepped aside anyway by now and left Tim Cook in charge.
Tim Crook....the bean counter

It's impossible to speculate where SJ would of taken the company but of course to fit your narrative Apple would be in the tank without TCrook. I bet you can't wait for the new emojis
I'll settle for the following:
- 4-inch to 4.7-inch iPhone with Touch ID and a A12 chip
- FLAC support in iTunes
Bob Mansfield is tasked with secret projects therefore may be bringing new ideas to Jony Ive.

Where did I say Apple would be in the tank without Cook?
