Apple appears to have prematurely revealed the name of its rumored lower-cost MacBook model, which is expected to be announced this Wednesday. A regulatory document for a "MacBook Neo" (Model A3404) has appeared on Apple's website. Unfortunately, there are no further details or images available yet. While the PDF file does not contain the "MacBook Neo" name, it briefly appeared in a link on Apple's regulatory website for EU compliance purposes.

    they were swindled

    So we’re back to “everyone is stupid except for me”.

    It’s absolutely not. It’s not about what the consumer wants at all.

    So we’re back to “everyone is stupid except for me”.

    These companies didn’t remove them because customers wanted them removed.

    Customers want thin, light, and good water resistance. Removing a port barely anyone uses was an easy way to achieve that and the vast majority of customers don’t miss it.

    Are you beginning to understand how things you don’t buy still affect you yet?

    So we’re back to “everyone is stupid except for me”.

      No we’re not. I’ve already addressed this, please scroll up.

      Customers want thin, light, and good water resistance.

      1. We already had several models with all of those things
      2. Even the iPhone Air is thick enough to fit a headphone jack.
      3. For the third time, none of this is about what consumers want.

      So we’re back to “everyone is stupid except for me”.

      If your strategy is to repeat the same nonsense over and over without addressing my rebuttal then you can go ahead and stop replying to me.

        Yes, we are. If you believe people have to be tricked or manipulated into valuing different features than you do, you’re just using a lot of extra words to say “everyone is stupid except for me”.

          It’s not what I believe and it’s not what I’ve said. I was very clear about what my position and you’re just intentionally misrepresenting it. You’re being blocked now, goodbye.
