thank you for a thoughtful response. my point is not that "hardware gets deprecated" nor am I "mad" at anyone. are these really the only two possible interpretations of my post?
my point is that just because Apple doesn't vocally disparage their old products doesn't mean they think their old products are perfect.
my point is that some light disparaging of their old products may be a refreshing dose of honesty. (inb4 "but that could be bad for business!". I don't care.)
Yeah, at least for me, that's how your original post came across. I think your points that you declare here are fine points and would likely have been well-received (or at least not downvoted) if you had started with it to begin with.
Without qualifying your original statement, it just sounded angry and purposeless. I agree with you now, though.
