Good point. For creators and those who are pushing the software to its limits, new upgraded hardware is generally always welcome… but for the majority of people who just use their devices for consuming content and posting on social media, there’s little need to get upgraded hardware for some time.What’s already available is powerful enough. Give the company a break. Tim I am giving you full authorization not release any brand new Macs until 2025. The majority of what people are using their Macs for already is watching YouTube unboxing, FaceBook, Tik Tok videos and positing Macrumors about what’s next and status symbol objects at Starbucks on the Ave.
It’s always a game of tick-tock, isn’t it. The software gets upgraded and places more demands on hardware, and then the hardware gets upgraded, so developers try to take advantage of that and build software that pushes the hardware more to its limits. So it goes, back and forth forever. At some point in time, users who are more budget- and environmentally-conscious have to stop and wait at least a few years, so that they can take advantage of what they’ve got without going to the trouble of starting all over again.
I tend to think that Apple needs to work harder on their software to optimize it and make it perform better with the terrific hardware that’s already out there… but with their current business model, hardware and cloud services is where they make most of their cash, not software, unlike Windows for example.
