AH, THE WONDERFUL possibility space of the unknown. When you know something is coming, but you don’t know anything about it, the number of ways it could surprise and delight you is infinite. Of course, so is the number of ways it could disappoint you, but I don’t tend to focus on that because it’s boring at best and depressing at worst - Schrödinger’s lab would be a real bummer if it’s just people sitting around resigned to having to deal with a cat corpse.
Waiting for the inevitable Apple-made processors, I imagined 12-core MacBook Pros or a 12-inch MacBook successor as fast as an iMac, and other fun options. I didn’t really expect to see those things right now of course, but that doesn’t matter - I was always looking forward to hearing more about what Apple’s doing, why it’s doing it, and what it means for users in practice.
