The single biggest problem is Apple is charging too much. Their ram and SSD upgrade costs turn people off and Apple doesn't seem to understand this.

[jakubduda]

8GB of ram in a "pro" machine in 2023 is just a joke. Poor sales well deserved.

[dima]

Main problem is that It's long overdue for a new paradigm for memory and storage pricing. Base for 256/8 $1100-1400 - it's just not serious. As well as $200 for each minimal upgrade. People know how much memory costs. It's just so blatant and obvious, almost insulting. I even want to say “hey, Apple, can you deceive us somehow more cunningly?”

I want windows laptops to succeed more than ever. Competition is always better for consumers.

[piteshmistry]

Main reason is because the M1 chips was sooo good, most people are happy to keep their laptop for 4-5 years before upgrading. Hence why they kept saying in the Apple Event the huge leaps over the Intel versions, so thats probably who they are trying to target mostly... I bought an M2 Max Macbook Pro back in March and I intend to keep this laptop for 6-7 years before upgrading...

[ViraDrama]

8 GB. of RAM for the entry Macbook Pro model in 2023 is my main reason. Otherwise, this will be a good machine for me to upgrade from M1 Air😎

[jeromescott]

I don’t think Apple is expecting people with M1 or M2 Macs to upgrade, it seems like they are trying to get people on Intel Macs to make the move to Apple silicon. While Parallels is convenient, there are still limitations to VMs that aren’t a problem with Intel Macs.

[edphillips]

The prices for RAM and Storage are absurd. If Apple wants to expand its customer base - cut your Ram and Storage costs by 50% and you will be amazed what could happen. Imagine if Apple expanded its install base by 50% - more software devs coming to the ecosystem - more users coming on board. The pricing Apple has currently is honestly so absurd it is offensive. The prices reflect insane greed and disrespect for customers.

Because they don’t have $3500.00…Because people are waiting longer to replace their MacBook Pro’s. I was swapping out my MBP, every 5 years. Now that I got the M3 Max, I will extend that cycle to 10 years. A person who buys a $300.00 chrome book, was never, really, a MacBook Pro client. Let’s be honest here. This is an elite product, always has been. If you have the Apple Card, you can space that purchase out over 12 months, which is a great deal, with zero financing charge. I paid the same for my M1 Max as I will for my M3 Max.

[keithwalls]

They’re not buying the iMac because it’s not available in 27” and higher end SoCs. I’m not buying because I don’t want or need a laptop. I do need an M3-based Mac Studio.

[abirahmed]

Waiting for M3 Air. M3 Air with 512GB and 16GB Ram is sufficient for my workload. I was so eager to buy M3 pro but apple really messed up with the price. With 1600 price tag I am not getting 16 GB Ram is such a big scam.

[DynamicPhil]

Appreciate that you guys called out inflation. The M3 Max chips do sound legit amazing based on the recent benchmark leaks, it's the first time I actually feel like Macbooks are competing against high end Windows laptops. But the price hikes are just absurd. For Apple to push these new chips out of the gate so quickly, hoping to make up for the lackluster sales over the past year, but to price them this high in this sort of economy, literally makes no business sense to me.

[jaredstrauss]

I’m coming from an intel mac. Seems like a great time to upgrade?

[truecuckoo]

4. m1 is just too good. My update cycle on intel was 4 years due to mostly advancements in video editing. With my current m1 pro, I think I won’t see a reason for updating in a time, unless I go into VR creativity or something like that.

[danteburritar]

waiting for test results to be honest… wanna see how good the Hardware Raytracing and Dynamic Cacheing works

[Minttusuklaarae]

Hey when you get the new macs, can you please test if the GPU improvements (ray tracing, mesh shading and dynamic caching) will make a real difference in 3D workflows? I'm talking Cinema4D, having a real-time render view open on the side etc. Especially curious to see the real differences between M3 Pro and M2 Pro :)

[Anhedonis]

Problem 11: Memory bandwidth downgrade. I’m fine with the efficiency cores, but the sneaky loss of memory bandwidth irritates me.

[gmag]

I currently have a MBA M1. I got so excited w/the new M3’s and placed an order for the the base model one. But after seeing all this, I cancelled it and ordered a M2 MBP refurb instead. Thank you for this!!

[angiebcraftsdesign]

Hi! What do you mean when you say "Binned?"

[arcadialive]

Remove the notch (do something different with the camera), improve cooling. Launch a 17 inch model. Do anything more. As a customer. This gives me zero reason to upgrade from a m2 pro max
