It’s very possible to do amazing ports. I was blown away by the Alien Isolation port on iOS. There just has to be a market to justify the work. And if iOS ports can be recompiled for Macs (and they can) so much the better.
Seems like a reasonable requirement. I’m sure there will be 3rs party services to provide legit but private addresses and phone numbers on behalf of developers.
If they’re properly locked down the option to boot another from another device or even the recovery drive will be locked behind a password. It’s like it’s been bios locked on a PC but rather than being stored with a battery it’s saved into the physical chip which would need to be removed and either replaced or reflashed.
But printers are a dying breed. That’s not apple’s target market. They’re trying to look a few decades into the future not the past. That’s scraps for the dog.
What are you willing to pay for it? Apple makes really solid hardware but it’s not cheap. They’d need a huge segment of the population to want to pay $1,000 for a high end printer to make it worthwhile and the movement has been away from printing for some time now.
My office used to do tens of thousands of pages a year back 20 years ago. We might do a hundred pages a month now if it’s especially busy. Everything else is PDF.
If you’re running a single app that has low requirements 8gb is quite usable. For my mom using. browser and email it’s fine. For my kids doing school work it’s fine.
For me working in 4K video and photoshop it’s not.
But that’s why you can add more. The whiners are just noise.
