Those of us that were around for when Apple was at the edge of bankruptcy can relate to a similar approach, where some products were great like the Newton, but the wind of the early days wasn't as strong.

They have plenty of money to burn, but unless they make their systems more affordable to the common man that doesn't live with tier 1 country salaries, they will eventually become the iPhone/iPad company.

There is no longer Apple hardware for servers, the way MacPro has been dealt with, it is clear that the professional desktop workstation is also not a market that they care about any longer, if the only PCI slots on studio are for audio cards.

So it doesn't matter how great the M chips are, if they don't have products on their portfolio that people care about buying, instead of having Windows/Linux/BSD systems for servers, and mostly Windows on consumer hardware (70% worldwide market share).
