revs
Not surprising. It’s not as if companies only start on the next version once the current one is out. Things like this need planning years in advance. I think I heard on the ATP podcast that Apple are already planning and working on what the M7 will be.
Just because they are testing the M4/M5 doesn’t mean it’s ready, or can be fabricated at scale for an acceptable cost just yet.
When Apple want to, they can design amazing things. So I look forward to see if they come up with a clever Apple-like way to do this. Or maybe they just make it easier to remove the back.
Typical timing as I’d just disabled the swipes as they kept interfering!
Awesome work
Hopefully this becomes standard. Looks like Apple were looking into it too

All Apple devices run variants of the same software, so of course they have a consistent UI.
It’s a desktop OS, the same as Windows and Linux.
I’m not sure what you expected, can you elaborate?
I’ve started to upgrade when iOS updates stop. As the cost of devices goes up, I just keep them longer so the cost per year is about the same.
10 years of support. Not bad.
Just install Linux on it (if this is what she wants, regardless of if you think it’s better) or find a M1 MacBook Air for 7-800 if she wants a Mac.
I have a 2012 laptop, and upgraded to the M1 Air. Using the old machine is painful now, I didn’t realise how slow it was.
10-11yrs from a laptop is pretty great. I wouldn’t call it planned obsolescence.
I have the original SE, it’s still amazing. I do kinda wish I had the AOD though.
