It's not a post-PC world. It's more like a Kaby Lake has the same performance as Sky Lake world and Intel is not able to figure out process technology beyond 14nm world. Apple could put an Nvidia 1080 and a Skylake i7 in the pro and an i5 in the mini. I guess and that would be a decent upgrade. Nothing super exciting, but decent. The next refresh is going to be even more depressing than this one if Intel doesn't figure out new process technology.

PCs aren't extinct, but they're not in charge. That's what "Post PC" means. Mainframes still exist, they're faster and more powerful than ever, but if you argued that because they are that they're somehow still dominant you'd be laughed out of the room.

Phones are the single most popular computing device and your average person spends more time on their phone than they do on their computer when excluding work.
