The
Wall Street Journal isn’t trolling us, is it? Columnist Christopher Mims penned an essay titled, “
Why Apple Should Kill Off the Mac” (it’s behind a paywall), and goes on to enumerate various reasons. But it ignores the elephant—or El Capitan—in the room: Apple will never again let another company decide its destiny.</p><p>
Mims’s thesis is that Apple is stretched so thinly, it cannot design new Macs and produce an operating system for them while maintaining its focus on making the best products in the world. The iPhone, iPad, and Watch suffer because Macs still exist, he posits. No longer investing in “one-of-a-kind feats of engineering like the Mac Pro” would free the company to go all-in on the future of mobile and wearables. (Disclosure: I know Chris a little and think he’s generally a smart fellow.)</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2935980/no-wsj-apple-shouldnt-kill-off-the-mac.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
