Here is an interesting statement from the article that rings true for me:
"A lot of it boils down to this concept: We demand Apple innovate, but we insist they don’t change anything."
"A lot of it boils down to this concept: We demand Apple innovate, but we insist they don’t change anything."
The people who really drone endlessly about "innovation" are the finance section people.
The pro and dev customers who are complaining now - ie: the ones who cheered for "no new features" back when 10.6 was announced - generally want better computers, and they generally focus on speed and stability.
1) A 12 and 14in macbook ( / air) instead of what they released.
2) A 13 and 15in macbook pro that put power ahead of battery and thinness.
2b) Pros having the option to get 32GB RAM, which I am sure will be part of next years model. Apple generally leaves out a feature they could have easily shipped, soas to make next years look like a bigger step.
2 Macbook/Airs and 2 pros, and eliminating all other SKUs would make more people happy, and make things simpler. Instead they taint the Pro name, and leave the old Macbook in the lineup.
