@rootwyrm@weird.autos @graydon@canada.masto.host @cstross@wandering.shop I would challenge your assumptions: — Apple doesn't sell “loss leaders”. It’s why even a simple USB cable can cost $20 and the VisionPro is $3500. The Neo is profitable. — Apple is not cannibalizing, they’re pulling new users in. Services are a huge profit center. Neo customers will subscribe. — MacBooks are known to be more durable than PCs. You can still see 10-year old iPhones or MacBooks in use. RAM? Cores? Only nerds care. The Neo is a game-changer.
