No 27”? Hard pass.

Welcome to the Luddite convention here.

People who lead easy lives complain for the sake of complaining. I bet you nobody at war is worried about it at all.

Reset your device then restore from a backup?

It’s perfect for kids and old folks.

I use mine from time to time as a reading device but it’s no match for my MacBook Pro.

16 Pro max here. It is not a significant problem.

I started hating photos but have come around a bit.

Why would anyone believe a single thing that fat old orange felon grifter has ever claimed to say. He’s a compulsive liar.

A new OS release is the worst time to complain about battery life.

There are tons of background tasks, indexing and AI things happening in the background that users are unaware of.

Give it a few weeks to index and optimize and see how it runs.

Seems like a reasonable requirement. I’m sure there will be 3rs party services to provide legit but private addresses and phone numbers on behalf of developers.

And that’s just fine. They don’t need to have an expensive release event for every point upgrade.

If they’re properly locked down the option to boot another from another device or even the recovery drive will be locked behind a password. It’s like it’s been bios locked on a PC but rather than being stored with a battery it’s saved into the physical chip which would need to be removed and either replaced or reflashed.

But printers are a dying breed. That’s not apple’s target market. They’re trying to look a few decades into the future not the past. That’s scraps for the dog.

Printing is dying. For the time being I run a B&W Brother laser at home. Perfect for us.

What are you willing to pay for it? Apple makes really solid hardware but it’s not cheap. They’d need a huge segment of the population to want to pay $1,000 for a high end printer to make it worthwhile and the movement has been away from printing for some time now.

My office used to do tens of thousands of pages a year back 20 years ago. We might do a hundred pages a month now if it’s especially busy. Everything else is PDF.

Context is important.

If you’re running a single app that has low requirements 8gb is quite usable. For my mom using. browser and email it’s fine. For my kids doing school work it’s fine.

For me working in 4K video and photoshop it’s not.

But that’s why you can add more. The whiners are just noise.

If they’re not factoring R&D into the prices they’re doing it wrong.

Some bumpkins would just calculate what the phone should be because of the cost of the components and not figure anything else into that.

It’s Apple. Of course they’re not doing it wrong.
