    Before Apple went ARM, they weren’t perfect, but they weren’t the worst. You could swap RAM on iMacs, change out storage on Mac Minis. But as they adopted ARM, RAM was incorporated into the SoC. And while poor for interoperability, there are notable performance improvements in this system-in-a-package design. More so, they do allow for some storage upgrades with the current Mac Mini and Mac Studio, even if it’s still somewhat user-hostile.

    As for the charging question at hand, yeah…they probably WANTED something stupid like they did with MFi certification on lightning cables, but it seems as though the EU has already warned them about that. Hopefully we’ll end up with a pretty nice usb-c experience!

    I’m a grizzled Windows user and absolutely love it. However, every person who knows me is shocked when I pull out my iPhone and sing it’s praises. I mainly love the security, but there’s something else when it comes to experience:

    Optimization. In a time where Moore’s Law is dead and computer performance has largely stagnated, Apple still managed to forge ahead making their systems as high performing as possible. Rather than supporting every ancient floppy driver and COM file extension, Apple has a carefully designed and programmed ecosystem. So much so that my iPhone 6S received an update THIS JANUARY! Let alone how long it received actual feature updates. It’s such a breath of fresh air, like you aren’t a piece of garbage and so is what you bought from us.

    I really respect Apple’s approach to customer experience, they’re a whole other breed.
