Apple should stop selling four-year-old computers

The Retina MacBook Pro is 442 days into its current cycle, despite refreshes coming every 268 days on average in the past. The Mac mini has gone 657 days since its last update, which was controversial in itself since Apple removed quad-core options and made the product harder to upgrade after purchase. And the Mac Pro, released in December 2013 following much "Can’t innovate any more, my ass"-fueled fanfare? It hasn’t received a single update since then. "This is without a doubt the future of the pro desktop," Phil Schiller said when announcing the Mac Pro on stage that year. Did he mean that this was the precise model Apple expects professional users to use literally forever?

But why should Apple upgrade regularly? When your user based doesn't know much about techonlogy and only care about the status that they think the logo brings them, they'll just buy whatever computer is there and think they've gotten a bargin.

That should show people not to trust in APPLE products.
Do not buy them unless you are a drone for them and their zombie linked products.
Steve Jobs is dead and so should be their computers and phones.
They are PURE JUNK!
Not customizable or programming modification allowed -so why support such things any longer you none creative or frontal lobe using people?!

what does it matter when you look so painfully cool operating your ancient computer? no one's forcing anyone to buy them. consumers can vote with their wallets any time they like.

The thing is that Apple is doing exactly what they should be doing in a situation where you have millions of people who will only buy your product because of the logo. They probably just browes the internet, watch YouTube videos.

Yes just the Y-Generation. Not the Gen-X'ers because the Y's are so lazy to want to do any work or anything to benefit themselves. I pity this last generation as they are on the road to their inevitable destruction.
Apple is is just a device for that bomb ready to blow!
