It has long been the case that the Macalope does not trust in making New Year ’s resolutions . For himself .
make resolutions for other people , that ’s a completely different thing . Now that we ’re clear on that , here are three things the Macalope would like to see Apple do in 2023 .
Get on that to-do list
Apple had a yoke of thing it said it was get to eat up in 2022 that it , for whatever reason , did n’t find sentence to get to . First , when it announced it was transition from Intel chip to its own atomic number 14 , it said ( implied ? ) that it would be done with the transition by the death of 2022 . Yet , if you crack the Apple store you ’ll see the Mac Pro is still sitting there with its baron - guzzling Intel Xeon chips – red-hot Macs seem for single developers in your area . The company also saidit would release a dedicated Graeco-Roman music app in 2022after buying Primephonic . Those two things did not pass .
Maybe what Apple require is a good to - do app . If only there were someplace the company could find a serious one . Like , some kind of , I dunno , an “ app depot . ”
Just call up out loud .
Likea slew .
The first time lag might be due to the globular supply chain being an absolute spate . So , Apple can be forgiven for having to deal with unlooked-for events . It still needs to happen , though . The second … frankly the Macalope does n’t know why Apple needs to discharge a consecrate app for buff of a particular kind of music when they can get that medicine from the same firehose we all salute from . If Apple is n’t making the Macalope a bespoke app for his beloved pagan dirges , why should classical rooter get especial treatment ?

Foster a better relationship with your retail workers
For age Redmond and Cupertino have copy mind from each other . Microsoft would simulate , say , an entire graphic user interface and Apple would simulate , uh , the idea of tablet computing but not the part about it sucking . Now it ’s clip for Apple to take a business cue from Microsoft .
While Goofus Apple is ( allegedly ) running aroundmaking phoney unionsto crush unionization endeavor at its retail storehouse , Gallant Microsoft haspledged to ferment with unions . If that particular chip does n’t wrick out to be true , the company has an almost obsessional aversion to unions , as if it ’s that what it should be center on and not all the other problems with Apple retail ( the fact that the Macalope has more than once taken it upon himself to apprize mixed-up customer how to pilot the Apple Store ’s unclear process for suffer help when he does not work for the company , has never work for the company , kind of enjoin something ) .
It may seem like the Macalope is harp on Apple ’s poor mental attitude toward unions a lot ( look , these mouth organ are n’t going to play themselves , despite what the bog witch who sold them to the Macalope said ) but it ’s just a bad look for the richest company in the history of troupe , money , and project relations . And it ’s just not necessary . If Microsoft can do it another way , Apple can too .
Rationalize the iPad and iPhone lineups
Despitehis philia for their simpleness , the horny one does n’t call back Apple needs to go back to the utmost regime of product quadrant . Still , the company should probably do something about the iPad and iPhone lineups . look at them is a bit like looking at a Rorschach trial run for which there are no appropriate reply .
You : “ A butterfly stroke ? ”
healer : “ Nope . damage again . Oh , wait , this one ’s not supposed to be in here . ”
They ’re all honorable devices , but it ’s difficult to classify out the lineups . The iPad lineup features a lot of choices but with some maddening overlap . As for the iPhone , while the 14 Pros have reportedly sell well , the 14 and 14 Plus have n’t . Whatever the product mix should be , it does n’t seem like it ’s this . Apple left those of us who like smaller sound out in the frigidity ( the Macalope upgrade from a 12 mini to a 13 miniskirt this year ) and the Macalope would love to think it ’s that , but he does n’t really know . As much as he likes new features , making the small speech sound the cheap one always seemed to make sense to the Macalope .
Whatever the card should look like , it seems like Apple should lean a small number more on giving clear pick than nuancing the situation .
Does the Macalope think Apple will listen to him on any of these three sage pieces of advice ? Ha - ha ! No ! The fellowship may decide of its own will to do some of these things , but it ’s not going to do them because a cartoon mythological creature in a suit tell it to .
Which , let ’s look it , is probably a unspoilt thing .
