Rumor: Apple to introduce a new, different type of Mac

Rumor: Apple to introduce a new, different type of Mac. This was my comment on that.

Hello Shock,

That is an interesting theory. So what about the people who bought from iTunes store who didn’t have to on their iPhone and laptops? Clearly people prefer digital distribution. I know that other than the Apple Store, it is hard to find Mac software. Sometimes Best Buy/Staples has it, but rarely is it in other stores. I think that this is helpful for their customers, not a negative.

Apple does make plenty of mistakes. I don’t think Apple feels threatened, I think they just view their role differently. They have always exercised control over their system. Just like any other company encourages the use of their technologies. The market share for PC’s dropped 1% last year, so I don’t think there is a migration to Windows from mac.

Apple dropped the floppy drive painfully early, and it is no surprise that they are dropping other connections as well. They have always been about dropping hardware features, while pushing their customers to upgrade to the newest standards for performance.
