Great marketing. I wonder the sales difference if they were also selling Macs with current generation AMD Ryzen chips manufactured on a modern TSMC node.

I think they are so good at building CPUs that fit their designs why do they need to rely on AMD keeping pace with them? I bet you Apple increase performance 20%+ per year for a decade while at some point AMD will slow down their improvements. Never mind the whole issue with heat and battery life where AMD is miles behind.

You mean people aren't going to buy hardware that its manufacturer explicitly said they're not going to be building and supporting much further?

The same manufacturer that's known for dropping macOS support on perfectly capable older hardware without backwards compatibility?

Color us surprised!

This makes sense right since their new models have M1, I would expect a “new models sell more than old models.”

Also "cheap models" sell more than expensive models, which was always the case. Apple has stated that the MacBook Air is their most popular computer on multiple occasions.

What is great marketing? That they successfully sold the merits of their new architecture? Or are you saying that talking about the difference in chip sales is a marketing tactic?

What is the relevance of Ryzen here?
