What I expect them to do (outlined in my post above above) and what I want as a consumer seem to be diverging at a exponential rate. So in all honesty I expect in 2 years time that a Sony PS5 and a sub £1000 PC laptop running Adobe Premiere Pro will probably suit me better than an iPad Pro 'Mac Edition' dolled up to look like a proper computer! The 'Mac' will by then in all probability be a 'computer' with no user upgrade potential, an enforced App Store 'Walled Garden' and no ability to dual boot Windows to play games and use specialist apps like during the Intel era!
It's quite frankly disappointing that Apple think that it is progress to continue cutting out features (we salute you MagSafe, any useful port that isn't USB-C and physical function keys that don't crash requiring a reboot) while not cutting prices to suit! The new Mac Pro and 16" MacBook Pro were a step in the right direction in functionality but now no one is going to invest in them because of the CPU ISA shift! That inevitable lack of sales will give Apple another excuse to likely cull the 'Pro' models in the not too distant future!
