LOL, I’m one of those crusty old ones.
Conversely, I’ve never understood the logic of your types.
Being you just gotta have it because it’s new.
If something still serves my needs to perfection, I just think it’s a gross waste of money if not sheer lunacy to get something new just because it’s new. There is no logic to it.
Now if there is logic to this that I’ve missed, please enlighten me.
By that logic, we’d all be riding in buggies and using candles for light. I don’t begrudge you the right to stick with what you like, I just wish you’d resist the urge to tell everyone how awful some new tech is, when you really have no idea.
Not to worry there is planned obsolescence in Apple products. If a dead unreplaceable battery doesn’t obsolete your device, lack of OS support will.
Actually that's not the case. Most Mac users I know are perfectly happy with their several year old Macs that will keep going, and going, and going, and going. At my office we are finally having to upgrade iMacs and our server after eight years not because they will not run the latest OS X but because we just need faster machines to run the vertical solution dedicated software we need in our speciality.
Generally, you have to beat Apple products to death with a Mac Truck. We buy new products, not just because it's new, but because it offers new functions that increase our productivity. Otherwise, we stay with what we have.
Don’t knock early adopters, somebody needs to work out the bugs for the rest of us.
