So is this the end of the line for the Thunderbolt Display? (RIP, 2011-2015, using USB-C as the death knell, or 2011-2014 using 5K iMac as the death knell.)Īnd further, is this the end of the MacBook Air? (RIP, 2008-2015.) What the point of switching from the lightweight MacBook Air line that I could connect to a 27" display to this new MacBook line cannot connect to a 27" display? What do they have against big displays? They just released a giant screened Retina iPhone to giant sales.
#APPLE PRESENTATION REMOTE USB C ANDROID#
Having Retina in a lightweight MacBook is quite desirable (and would align nicely with Apple's iOS device family) but this move seemingly indicates that Retina has bypassed the MBA line and I'm left wondering how does this 2015 MacBook fit into the Apple ecosystem? Or is a new ecosystem on its way? Past Apple Events have mocked Android fragmentation but this uneven spread of features between the MBP, MBA and MB lines - haptic touchpad versus non-haptic, Retina versus non-Retina, USB-C versus Thunderbolt versus Thunderbolt 2 - is as fragmented as all get out.Īnd on top of that we have the future possibility of a Retina Thunderbolt Display seemingly erased by the 5K iMac's stated or unstated claim (I've lost track of which) that 27" Retina is only achievable by integrating the graphics engine into the display. I use a MacBook Air with a Thunderbolt Display, so if this 2015 MB sits between the MBA's, how do I integrate it with the TD the way I do with the MBA?
Excuse me, but I just had some coffee and my synapses and typing are out of control over this recent Apple news.
