Ok, you have my attention.

does it still grate cheese tho?

You forgot to change to your alt Tim Apple

Passengers can also be using their phones

Yes, blame everything except this idiotic feature from Apple

The average person is not going to know about that feature

You made it perfectly clear originally. The other poster was an idiot

The best way for Apple to not have liability is to not have any of these features in the first place. The world was perfectly fine when the only way to call 911 was to physically press the buttons 9-1-1 in the phone app. And the day the flip phones they were physical buttons, and in the days of rotary phones it was a dial. There was also a large swath of time where a landline phone would have physical buttons.

The most obvious observation is that Apple should've never included the feature in the first place. The moment I saw an ad for the feature I knew that it would trigger false 911 calls.

How about you buy a real computer for quarter of a price?

Don’t see the 2k version although a maxed out max pro right now is over 54k (not including any optional software)

There are two sliders, both of which do very different functions on the exact same screen, so I can fully understand someone making this mistake

The only system which should call 911 is someone going to the phone app and typing in the numbers 911 then pressing the call button. Any other feature which calls 911 should be eliminated.

The moment I heard about this feature, I knew that it would lead to false 911 calls. Thankfully I have a Samsung phone which doesn't have these idiotic features.

Guess I won’t ask questions when I’m stoned anymore

Thank you

Apple does not benefit from increased competition or innovation. Competitive markets are bad for business. GPU chip making is also less profitable than their current markets. This is also why they don’t manufacture their products in house, device manufacturing is a much less profitable business than the product design and software services that they currently operate in.

Apple’s play is and always has been total design and control of the user experience. That’s their differentiator. They’ve no incentive to release a less profitable product, in a competitive market segment, that they can’t fully control, and which is less compatible with their software/services businesses. They will continue to cater to their demographic: people who want their wholistic designed experience and are willing to pay up to get it. That’s how they became the most valuable company.

Well, I don’t think it matters anyway, the world is already ending, so who cares?

They’re not made for you

Apple couldn't give two shits about a balanced economy or the way you think to do it..

Pro here.

Okay soooooooo expansion options and bus limits? All my workloads are shoveling data to expansion, or the number of I/O interfaces I can use.

Give me the number of pcie lanes and what version. 🤌🤌🤌

And it'll perform about the same as a self built PC for a fraction of the cost.

Apple silicon go brrr. It just sucks it's made by Apple.

That $25,000 was a joke. I made that figure up. I have no idea what it costs.

You know they aren’t talking about a laptop yea?
