He’s just got his first junior dev role, and loves going into the office as much as he can, and thinks that this bit of kit will be better than the monitors on his desk, which are the Apple Studio Displays.
I’ll let him make his own decisions on what hardware to buy, but I am very tempted to apply for my old role back just to witness some muppet sat at his assigned desk wearing a VR headset to code. What a time to be alive.
It feels weird that Apple have chosen to go down the route of iOS over MacOS, with a price tag like that it surely must be targeted towards professionals who want to use it for work.
So they've opted to create an iPad replacement instead of a laptop replacement, which is still a step up (and very cool), but not ultimately what consumers can get the most utility out of, from our point of view.
I agree it’s really cool, I’d be interested in a future iteration, if the price was right at the time.
I was tempted to email you regarding testing, but I’ll be honest I’m likely not your target market for a tester, I’m probably in the 1st percentile of technical knowledge on this site, but I’ll keep my eye on your product nonetheless.
It feels like Stockholm syndrome for developers to wax poetic about the various ways they're abused and ignored.
If Apple has a choice between supporting developers or consumers, they aren't even going to think about it for a second.
