Apple Gave Developers Color Instead

Description

The image is a clean Apple product shot showing the backs of several thin, colorful desktop computers stacked in depth: blue, purple, red, orange, yellow, and teal panels, with partial Apple logos visible on some units. There is no visible text in the image itself. In context, it references Apple's April 2021 M1 iMac reveal, where some developers and power users wanted a higher-end 16-inch MacBook Pro with a stronger Apple Silicon chip but instead saw a consumer-focused lineup of colorful iMacs. The humor comes from the mismatch between pro-developer performance expectations and Apple's polished product-segmentation theater.

  and I got my pentium sitting right here. Look, we don't want this discussion again. We've very thoroughly discussed the M1 situation with a different person. I think it was hackintosh5? not sure. Also, I'm not the guy who posted that. I'm just a moderator, the posts are exclusively made by the admin.
