The Mac Platform Decline
I agree that the mac platform seems to have been neglected but Tim Cook isn&#x27;t stupid, he knows that without developers the iPad isn&#x27;t going to grow how he wants so I don&#x27;t think this is the end of the Mac.<p>I think Tim Cook has ignored the Mac in favour of his favourite projects but in the meantime Schiller and Federighi have been making sure the Mac is in his periphery and fighting for resources.<p>I&#x27;ve chosen to view this update as the start of the uptick where we go back to regular updates (perhaps with a longer period than historically) and more exciting things to come.<p>I think the Mac Pro is over and the iMac will replace it with TB3 enabling external devices to take the workload of what Apple don&#x27;t want to handle internally but other than that I hope we will see a strong line up in a couple of years and look back at this time as the trough.<p>That or Apple is over and I need to work out what computer I will use in 15 years as I can&#x27;t stand Windows and Linux is a nightmare.<p>Also, I think the TouchBar looks pretty damn cool and I&#x27;ll be ordering one as soon as I can.
