There’s a lot of talk about referring to Steve’s grid of Portable, Desktop, Pro, Consumer, but frankly I think they just pick a quadrant for the product marketing and don’t look at the confused mess of products in each quadrant.
Apple could of course keep doing this for a long time, with the amount of money it has in the bank, and not be financially ruined like the last time… and that’s even more concerning.
The MacBook lineup is a disaster- every year machines less powerful and more expensive, but a price for every pocketbook, just not any identifiable use case.
iPad is a dog fight of half baked, made to a price – not an experience, products.
iPhone officially tipped into – customers are so frustrated they’re not buying – in 2018.
And the time it’s taking with Mac Pro, you just know it’s going to be a disaster… of butt-sized proportions… again.
