That would have been a hilarious timeline if they just upgraded ipods with cell networking, at least for one model.

Then you can use this for typing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BnLbv6QYcA



It's wild how that video came out 16 years ago and basically ends with "we'll see if Apple will make computers for business users and not just dicking around", and now in the current day, I'm working at a place where an update was sent out to our Macbook users that bricked the ones running an M1 chip, but not the M2 or M3 models.

It almost feels _impressive_ how hard macOS still is to integrate into an enterprise setting, and maybe they're okay with it just being a running joke for the past two decades that their computers don't do as well in a business context...


Maybe it depends on the business, but I’ve been using Mac’s in an enterprise environment for my entire career with 0 issues. And yes, fully managed devices, not just “here’s a Mac have fun.” If your company can’t test updates before rolling them out, it doesn’t matter whether your shop is Mac, windows, or something else. I mean hell, if you’re all on Apple Silicon MacBooks, there’s probably only what, 6-8 different SKUs to test? Not like windows shops where you might have a few generations of Dell/Lenovo/HP workstations and/or laptops, each of which will have its own distinct problems.


And this a year or two before. Reflects how new some of these ideas seemed at the time.
