iploxe on deathwatch since iphone 5, thisll be the the last fucking nail in their rose gold coffin. the 15 rmbp was their last reasonable product -- im typing this on a 2k15 15 rmbp -- and im deeply fucked up by the fact that in 2016 the era of "A LAPTOP THAT IS CURRENTLY IN PRODUCTION AND NOT A COKED OUT GROUP OF CHINESE BUSINESSMAN'S JOKE" will end.

Why the stupid OLED buttons? No one wants that.

Well when you get to think about it, a configurable row aint that bad [it existed before with a Fn key, but still kinda limited]; but now let's see how it goes, and if other players will adopt it for us brokefags.

this is total BS. i got a stupid row like that in my xps 17. only thing it's going to do is to not let you focus and you'll always try to find something better to do with it which will ultimately make it even less productive
Gabriel Russell
not for apel. they had a philosophy and they survived and became the colossus they are due to it.
Leo Evans
You forgot the $200 pencil. That was objectively a big step forward.
I like usb c its faster and better overall plus, plus it charges devices so much faster. I have a Nexus 6P and it charges my phone more than halfway in like twenty minutes. I'm glad apple is going with this technology. Now I will see usb c plugs everywhere, because currently you can't find them almost anywhere.
William Thompson
If you want to be productive you'll either ignore it or come down to two or three config schemes that'll serve you good. If you have the time to fiddle with the damn thing all day, you aint being too productive anyway.

Didn't SteveyJ tell TimmyC on his deathbed to not run apple in such a way that they're always asking "would Steve Jobs do such a thing?"
Also, Apple can be considered immortal at this point, they will never ever "die." Look at yahoo, they've been running their business like crap for the past decade and yet still companies are lining up to bail them out because they're that big.
Matthew Diaz
The best part is that the power button is on the row.
Touch sensitive power button. What could possibly go wrong?
Matthew Nelson
Shut up and take my money

Will the oled buttons always be backlit?
Will be impossible to find while watching a movie at night if not on, or will be annoyingly distracting if they are on.

Wait wut? I never suspected them of being too smart, but touch power button on the custom panel row?
That's Pajeet-tiet engineering dude...

The iPhone 6/s Plus were a good thing. Consumers had been requesting larger phones for ages now.
Look at every phone on the market, they're all large.
Wyatt Peterson
What were you expecting?
Kevin Taylor
Well... shit.
Mason Cruz
Before, Apple had the market cornered, now they are just another competitor, thats why they changed, if you think that everything that came out in 2012/13 wasn't planned while he was alive you are a fool that doesn't understand shit about development.
Austin Young
And there was another time apple seemed like it would always be a dominant force.
And then it came close to dying, even letting other companies make macs in a desperate attempt to remain relavent.
[Spoiler]and those were some of the best years of mac[/spoiler]
Mason Gomez
Source on that? I can't tell for sure but it does look like there is a physical switch on the right side of the touch bar in pic related.
Austin Rogers
>if you think that everything that came out in 2012/13 wasn't planned while he was alive you are a fool that doesn't understand shit about development.
Of course it was
But whether or not it would have come to market, and in the form that it did under Jobs is another question entirely.
And I don't think he ever would have done something as foolish as replacing the top of the line workstation mac with a tiny ass can that has zero room for expansion.
Christian Rivera
It would make sense for the power button to still be physical
What if the software registering input on the oled strip locks up? A touch power button would leave you fucked.
Carson Garcia

Jayden Cruz
Those keys look like they still give tactile feedback i dont see the issue
Matthew Kelly
That could just be the connector for the touch bar.
Adrian Robinson
There can't be a last if there was never a first.
Logan Long
Yeah it's hard to know, I could also see the touch bar wires coming up through the hole on the left. Just wondering if there was a better leak that actually confirmed the power button being touch.
Hunter Rogers
>its high now so it can never go down!
Ayden Roberts
oh no our value dropped to only 200 billion only to start going up again what should we do
Jaxon Martinez
>I could also see the touch bar wires coming up through the hole on the left. I'm thinking that hole is more for the bar to clip into. Other than that there is no real place for it to be fixed. Unless they glued it down.
Cameron Cruz
>Its too big to ever fail
From household name to has been in just a generation
Chase Baker
I was thinking glue + a hollow thing going down there with the wires inside
But I guess it's too thin for that probably.
Camden Richardson
>400ppi in the year of our lord, 2016
Austin Wood
Na, they could ribbon cable or slim wires through that. Two other things though, in the top right corner there is a similar sized hole, horizontal instead of vertical, and all the other physical key spaces are cut out while that space on the right size of the touch bar has a special shape to it.
They might have a special power button only touch area there, but I still think that is more for the connection for the touch bar.
Brandon Diaz
Did I ever said that? No.
But iPhones and iPads are so deeply embed in our culture and apple makes so much money out of them that I dont see it happening in years.
Bentley Martin
>Unless they glued it down. Whatever makes you think they might do such a thing!?!?
Blake Evans
>work with graphic designers >mfw not a single one uses that stupid fucking pencil over a cintiq or wacom
Aaron Cooper
well, it's not a fucking stylus to navigate the OS. it's a fucking stylus to draw. know the fucking difference, you cunt.

Hunter Roberts
>But iPhones and iPads are so deeply embed in our culture and apple makes so much money out of them that I dont see it happening in years.
So was atari for a time, and kodak too.
Tech changes quickly, and if some new innovation comes along then the iphone and ipad could absolutely practically die, especially in terms of public consciousness/use, within a few years.
The problem is who knows when the next major disruption happens. But there are always major casualties when it happens.
Liam Evans
RIP Sony
Dylan Myers
As nice as looking at what you are drawing on, the feel of a wacom is unbeatable. And that matters a lot if you used to drawing/painting.

my coworker's friend had a bunch of apple stock when it was almost nothing he sold it all to pay some debts or something fucking hell that guy must be suicidal now
Ian Stewart
I had a coworker who bought a bunch of bitcoin when it was around 15-20 cents(spent a few grand). Tried to convince me to do the same. He sold it all at $10. Made a lot and moved to SF, but I can only imagine how mad he his.
Juan Robinson
I wonder how many people have killed themselves over the bitcoin boom.
Like people who bought pizzas for thousands of bitcoins in the early days.
Leo Perry
Jobs would have had a fit over it. He was adamant that the iPad not have a stylus. The way it plugs in is just bone-headed. The lack of innovation on the ipad is allowing the Surface to gooble up marketshare.
Nathaniel Gray
I remember reading a story about a guy who had a few hundred thousand btc on a hard drive that he forgot about. Apparently he bought them on a whim and forgot about it until he saw something about btc on the internet a few years later.
Aiden Stewart
that macbook looks very nice
Joseph Cruz
At which point all those coins are on a discarded hard drive deep within a huge garbage dump
Isaiah Peterson
Yeah. He contemplated having it dug up because the people at the landfill can narrow it down based on the date he discarded it, but he decided that it was more than likely physically destroyed.
He could be full of shit too. There would be no way to verify his story...
Luke Barnes
Well actually they didn't lose shit if you look at ipad pro's sales.
Literally the reason Blizzard doesn't port their games on OS X anymore. They don't provide any updated graphics API, their window server is shit and they don't accept this.
Lucas Jackson
See, I see this shit and think back to some dumb article about Cook when he got the job.
Supposedly, Steve left 20 years of product ideas with Cook. But this shit?
There's no fucking way trash of this order of magnitude would've passed the drawing level.
The cheap phones are clearly a ripoff of their own earlier iMac G3 campaign, then they sell premium phones to guarantee that none of those phones would sell.
Fucking Apple
Wyatt Perez
Cook is an accountant. They essentially lost their quality assurance an design supervision departments when Jobs died.
Nathan Ramirez
True, I hadn't even thought about that
Easton Powell
Only in the USA do iOS devices keep their 50% market share. Basically everywhere else in the world it's a 80/20 split, with a little variation.
