This is absolute crap. Apple cares about their pro users, they just want them using products that are much more accessible and easier to use. We just transitioned to iPad Pros in our recruiting office and some of our developers are recommending that we just push everything into Google Cloud and using the iPad to do development on.

This argument is like saying that Tesla doesn't care about petrolhead and horse carriage enthusiasts. The only people that I know who care about Mac hardware are the same people who waste powerful machines on web browsing and like to boast about how fast their computer is. Just toxic.

Right, it was so hard to use magsafe, keyboards with key-travel, non-touch screen laptops, and all of those annoyingly varied ports on the side! I think OSX and iOS should become the same thing so no one has to manage their own software - let's get everything from their appstore, it's wonderful! I'm also really glad they incentivize smaller hard drive space so more people decide to use their cloud offerings; cloud is the future! Also, anyone who liked the old non-reflective displays just doesn't understand graphics; a company shouldn't listen to all customers, just the correct customers. USB is a great example of where most customers are wrong.

no, as a pro user i don't need a touch bar on my laptop. i use my keyboard and mouse. i don't need to reduce all my usb connectors to one. i don't need a crappy implemented ai called siri. i don't need something accessible, easier to use, because i know how to use my computer already, thanks apple. apple just needs to upgrade the hardware more often 'cause software is demanding more ram and cpu power. it's very simple.
