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.

My go to sandwich place, but parking there sucks so I haven’t been in ages.

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.

The government of Canada doesn’t provide me with clean water either. My local municipality does with my taxes.

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.

Why the right isn’t big on education. Would gut their voting base.

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.

How is this different from other politicians?

But that would cut into revenue for the government. Much easier to blame them for failing to clean up later when cash is already in hand.
