> Developing in house silicon over around 10 years that craps all-over competitors is 'begrudgingly' updating?

...developing in-house silicon that has architecture parity with your iPad an iPhone. They've quite literally made the statement that "you people don't want computers anymore, so we're removing 32-bit support, we're taking away every mainstream GPU and graphics API, we're giving you a few more years before we disable x86 support altogether, and you'll be happy about it".

If that's not a begrudging update then I honestly don't know what is. You'd have to be pretty deep in their marketing campaign to tell yourself that removing those features is just business as usual.

They've very literally not made that statement.

  • Can you point to which part is false, or are you disagreeing on the basis that I've said the quiet part out loud?
