5/10/2011 Steve is death
10/09/2012 First "big" iphone (iphone 5), first "small" ipad (ipad mini)
10/09/2013 First "cheap" iphone (5c)
19/09/2014 Two new iphones instead of one (6 & 6 plus)
11/11/2015 First "pro" ipad (ipad pro)
31/03/2016 Second cheap iphone (iphone se), second "pro" ipad (ipad pro 9.7)
So in 5 years apple has done a lot shit Steve didn't want to.
(i won't even talk about the abnormity that is the new macbook)
now we get pic related
inb4 rumour
there are also chassis pics
i never liked apple or their products but i respected their attitude
if this goes on apple will be death in 5 years
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
>>55027514
The best part is that the power button is on the row.

I don't use mac I do have a laptop with little LED under the buttons and I enjoy it for nighttime typing.

I would believe that Steve Jobs regretted that and continued on.

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.
>>55032272
Well... shit.
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.
>>55030566
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]

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.
>>55032316
>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.
>>55032404
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.

>>55032404
That could just be the connector for the touch bar.
>>55032771
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.
>>55032471
>its high now so it can never go down!
>>55032821
oh no our value dropped to only 200 billion only to start going up again what should we do
>>55032807
>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.
>>55032855
>Its too big to ever fail
From household name to has been in just a generation
>>55032895
I was thinking glue + a hollow thing going down there with the wires inside
But I guess it's too thin for that probably.
>>55032225
>400ppi in the year of our lord, 2016
>>55032919
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.
>>55032821
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.
>>55032895

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.

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
>>55035127
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.
>>55035533
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.
>>55028887
>>55033473
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.
>>55036272
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.
that macbook looks very nice
>>55036328
At which point all those coins are on a discarded hard drive deep within a huge garbage dump
>>55036341
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.
Always image your drives!
>>55036376
Found the article.

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.
>>55027634
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
>>55028481
Cook is an accountant. They essentially lost their quality assurance an design supervision departments when Jobs died.
>>55032457
True, I hadn't even thought about that
>>55033257
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.

>>55036306
>The way it plugs in is just bone-headed.
They have sort of fixed it though, it was their most stupid design decision by far, it should've been a female plug to begin with but whatever, better an adapter than nothing.
>>55038278
How much are they charging for the 20 cent, plastic adapter that fixes their fuck-up?
>>55038293
Comes with the pen, just like the aditional tip.
>>55038293
Only 29.99
>>55026983
>if this goes on apple will be death in 5 years
Apple isn't going anywhere. As long as their products are still seen as fashionable status symbols, they will have their market.
Few people who care about getting the most out of their device actively purchase Apple products, this is common knowledge.
>>55038311
Well, people concerned with aesthetics and ergonomics are going to drop them as well, at this rate.
>>55033610
you can use it to navigate the OS.
>>55027619
no he wouldn't
Steve's philosophy basically boiled down to: "Keep our products few, good, and overpriced"
>>55029597
but unfortunately this laptop is looking like expensive adaptor city.
looking at a current macbook, there is a cheap usb-c to usb-a adaptor, then come expensive usb-c to hdmi or vga adaptors. no apple issued usb-c to ethernet adaptor and no apparent usb-c to thunderbolt, dvi or dual-link dvi adaptors.
>>55038035
Blizzard stopped porting their games on OSX?
That's a huge redflag

They might not die, but they might go the way of IBM.

who the fuck is going to mess with all that bullshit -- especially the tech retards that tend to use apple products
it should be: just pick up the stylus and start

>>55038629
Don't forget what Apple has always stood for.

>their window server is shit and they don't accept this.
I think they've made some half baked changed to the windows server over the past few years.
There are some other areas they've made changes that haven't improved things, or even made them worse.
Then stuff like getting a new file system.
>>55042217
you know that second apple logo had rainbow colors on it?
