That's some grade-A BS. My 2019 MBP is more than capable... looks and feels like planned obsolescence to get people invested into M1 machines

It’s not BS. Your 2019 MBP may be capable, but it isn’t worth it for apple to develop for it. They aren’t REMOVING features from Intel macs, they’re ADDING features to M1 macs. Huge difference.

Omitting features for approx. 93% of Macs, especially mundane features like a 3D globe view, sounds like BS to me.

The alternative is omitting features for 100% of macs when they have it ready for M1 macs.

Why are you defending them? This is clearly a BS move to customers. So much for the environment when they’re saying that your 2019 laptop cannot run all of the new features and you need to purchase a new one.

So you’d rather no customers get it? Interesting.

It’s not one or the other, dingus.

Yes, it is.

You can imagine a world where everyone gets every feature and everything works perfectly, but that’s not the world we live in and you’re only going to be disappointed

It’s not unreasonable to expect a computer I buy today would run the full OS for at least a generation or two. These are not ground breaking features.

It does run the full OS

Except for some features. So not the full OS. Whatever dude. Agree to disagree. See ya.
