Apple Abandons Development of Wireless Routers
For the past decade I&#x27;ve been blindly buying Apple products (but been using Macs since late 90s), while looking at alternatives with disdain. Paying the Apple premium allowed the tech to get out of the way. Very happy to continue paying, but it seems like Apple is forcing me to leave. In this relationship, I&#x27;m the one getting dumped. I&#x27;m not sad about it, but from a business perspective why they are actively pushing me away? Canceling product lines (routers, mac pro), not updating the active ones (mac mini, iMac), and being difficult with the products they do update (MBP, iPhone).<p>On a relative basis, Apple has infinite resources. It has cash, the brand and can attract the right people to run the business.  Each product line, like the routers and mac pro can be focused on because they have the resources to do it. Most companies re-focus on core products because they are spread too thin - Apple is not.
