RIP Mac Pro, I guess. (appleinsider.com)

Given Apple's current locked-down trajectory with the Mac, the Mac Pro was gonna die eventually, and it's for the best that it does given it was reduced to little more than a massively overpriced Mac Studio grafted onto a useless PCIe backplane; a $12k grift, basically.

PCs at least are still modular and expandable; for now.

If I were shareholder I would want answers as to what the actual hell Cook is doing right with Apple. Every decision just seems to be intentionally designed to lose money.

From all the messing around with core products, to the bizarre decisions that led to the updated vision pro, a device no one is interested in, been upgraded to the latest version of the device no one is interested in, now with tungsten. Nevertheless I'm sure the iPhone sock is going to be a rip roaring success.

They could replace him with a goldfish swimming around a tank to make decisions, and it would lead to more coherent outcomes.

Michael Reeves as next apple CEO. He (his fish) has the experience necessary. And possible lead fumes intake required for the job.

I would agree as a customer, but as a shareholder?

Apple has been increasing user hostility, investing in questionable hype stock market hardware/software, pumping services profits, padding their war chest, and pushing prices to their absolute limit, literally to favour their shareholders. For a long time.

All the rich at Apple are shareholders first, users second. That’s the conflict of interest.
