Seriously ? All the arguments about Apple products "just working" and being "premium products", now change to "only people who need the feature have to pay for it" ?


I don't understand how those ideas are contradictory at all.


"Now"? The iMac G3 didn't have a floppy but I'm sure you could buy an external floppy drive. Macs after that rarely had a full VGA or DVI port, people had to buy adapters. Starting with the MacBook Air, we had to buy external optical drives, external ethernet adapters, external FireWire adapters... This is not news. And I'm saying that as someone who hates Lightning with all their heart :)


An inverse moving goalpost of sorts.
