Like a lot of people i am wondering just which way Apple is going to jump when it comes to making chips for new Apple computers. I myself am sitting here with a few bucks wanting to update/upgrade my desktop system. Thanks to Apples policy of cutting off systems they deem as "to Old" i now have 2 Mac Pro desktops and a Macbook Pro that are cut off from new OS upgrades even though all three systems still work well and the latest Desktop has 16 gig of ram and 2 SSD drives, a total of 2 T of hard drive space and a good video card, yet Apple says it's to old to run Mojave.
I would love to buy a new iMac with about 16 gig of ram, maybe 2 T of SSD drives, a i7 or i9 processor, but no one seems to have anything other than i5's. And when you add the fact that about every "brand new" Mac i see on the shelf has a 2014-2015-2016-2017 date i simply refuse to buy one of these machines that will be unable to run a new OS within a couple to 3 years.
Come on Apple do i really have to buy a new computer every 2-3 years just because you want to sell off your almost outdated inventory ? I may end up having to buy a new windows machine, but you can darn well bet it won't be running windows.
