I'm a developer using the mac as a programming and devops system. I do not want teen features to be the best thing about my next upgrade. I want it to be about the computer feeling faster, smoother, better. You know, like an operating system feature?
This. MacBook Pros are getting more and more expensive surely they’re already outside of the teen demographics purchasing power.
It’s professionals and those that aspire to be professional who spend > £2,000 on a laptop.
I want decent UI (including keyboard shortcuts I can touch type), more features and better performance more than I want fluff like voice commands or anything-moji.
When thy said there another part of the platform they were ignoring I got excited for a moment.
I thought they bringing out an Apple official version of homebrew. Nope iOS apps.
emoji's and the like are iOS features (for now). Teen focused features drive sales of iOS devices, increasing Apple's revenue stream and your potential customer base as those teens will likely buy macOS computers. Craig owns software for both macOS and iOS, and in fact part of iOS 12 is about improving performance of the OS to operate faster, smoother and better. So they are delivering exactly that on iOS. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
