Why wait for M3 when you could wait for M4???

This is the reason I’m still using my 2012 MBP (with OpenCore Legacy Patcher).

2015: “Ew, butterfly keyboard? I’m going to wait until they release non-butterfly keyboard models”

2020: “They finally stop using butterfly keyboard, but M1 will be released soon. Might as well wait another year”

2021: “Not all apps has been ported to ARM yet. I’m going to wait a bit to see how it goes”

2022: “What’s that? M2 is going to be released soon? I can wait just a bit more”

2023: “Wife just got an M2 macbook air and it’s really nice, but what’s this talk about M3 getting released soon?”

Or you can get an M11 in an iPhone 8! (That’s actually a motion coprocessor, but I think Apple has moved away from that nomenclature in newer phones to avoid confusion?)

They killed off the motion coprocessors, I believe. Now it’s just a part of the A-series, gone the way of the 80387.

I said I would rather wait for M3, not that I would buy it on release. Hopefully by the time MV or M5 comes out whatever.
