This post just proved how little you know...
First of all, you just tried to claim Boeing and Airbus are using plastic instead of aluminum for aircraft frames and bodies. Composite materials (which are stronger and lighter than aluminum), yes - but not plastics. That's also completely irrelevant to the topic at hand even if true.
Apple uses the aluminum unibody because it creates something plastic laptop bodies can't have on their own - structural support. Plastic/composite models have to have some sort of internal framework, which means added weight and more connection points between frame and body. Since the unibody design integrated the framework and body into one piece, it's a more durable design.
The retina screen actually has LESS glare than the non-retina glossy screen of the cMBP, and it's a much better screen for extended use. Also, the number of people who want/prefer an anti-glare screen is growing smaller by the day, so your points on that matter are null and void as well. But your remarks on the retina screen indicate you've never used one yourself to know what it's actually like.
The point on "stressless connections" (I think that's what you were trying to say) is also ridiculous, as the number/type of ports has never been a significant barrier to inclusion of these models in the workplace - just a barrier to old-school IT guys who think ports are the answer to everything.
To call Ive a "stylist" is ridiculous at best. There's a reason he's a VP and has been given significantly MORE control under Tim Cook's leadership, and a reason he was one of Jobs' most trusted employees. Just because you don't like the products based on your own misguided, misinformed opinions doesn't mean Ive doesn't design things.
First of all:
When I talk about "plastics" I talk about hi-tech-Plastics - this includes composit-technologies. "plastics" is the word of apple-fans to talk about other companies products… yes…. just before the iPhone 5c and the new MacPro. Which, of course, are made of "plastics" ….
second:
The retina screen actually has LESS glare than the non-retina glossy screen of the cMBP, and it's a much better screen for extended use.
I did NOT talk about other glossy screens, I talked about REAL comfortable screens - like the one of my MBP 2011 (then, 1680x1050 was "hiRes") completely antiglare and extremely good and sufficient sharp to work with.
So, I am NOT refering to the even worse screens with even more glares than the rMBP now.
But your remarks on the retina screen indicate you've never used one yourself to know what it's actually like.
YES, I had the retinas in my hands - nothing good to say about the new glaring, extremely reflecting horrible screens. Be it retina or not - they are more like make-up mirrors.
But YOU do perhaps not know about and did never work with professional hiRes antiglare Screens?
Also, the number of people who want/prefer an anti-glare screen is growing smaller by the day, so your points on that matter are null and void as well.
well - I read in the internet-forums at that very start of "retina" mirrors in apple products the disappointed commentaries of longtime-apple users like photographs and so on - they ran for other solutions than glaring screens.
The problem is, that industry ignores peoples interest for NON-glaring screens. And the customers know they ignore. Claiming their interests will NOTHING change at apple INC. - see USB3, antiglare or just antenna gate, GPU-desasters in MBP and so on.
Your knowledge about good design might be not too good.
Look - just for example - at the work of Dieter Rams
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieter_Rams
Jonathan Ive will never reach him at all - although he feels like his grandson… Ive talking about Rams every time this iconic designer in public means not at all that he really understood Rams...Rams would never ever have accepted this horrible new apple-Glitter-design.
And: You pretend not to understand that selling a MBP in 2011/2012 with USB2 instead of USB3 is nothing than the "connectivity-stress" of middle-age IT in business? poor guy.
The prove that I am right: after 2012 apple understood and implemented USB3 in MDP.
So - Jonathan Ive did not even understand that for 2 long years….
It is very amusing how you fanboys strictly ignore every FACTS I presented, like the GPU-scandal in MBP 2011/2012 - tens of thousand of angry customers had to make pressure for several YEARS to get their MBP repaired - most of them had them already thrown away longtime ago …
Yes, that is the policy of a arrogant enterprise-giant, even Jobs told us some years ago "You are holding it wrong!" :roll eyes: - and you shurely believed that B…s…
For you Fanboys, apple produces no bugs (like with IOS8 and OSX 10.10 without stop) - for you, that are real FEATURES, not? ;-)
