Imagine they put Macbooks on a yearly upgrade cycle like the iPhone - OMG, that would be impressive.

I don't know if you're being serious but, given the lack of improvements in chip design lately, that would indeed be impressive.

I don't mind upgrading every other year. I just want the upgrades to be meaningful.

It’s not that you, as a user, need to upgrade, but Apple could upgrade the SOC in their machines each year. It’s like the phone, small incremental updates each year. If you wait a few years to buy a new one, the change feels dramatic.
