Apple Rumored to Remove Old-School USB Ports on Next Macbook Pro

they wouldn't dare...

based

100 years from now, apple will just be selling raw billets of aluminum

>>57145125
Sure they would. It's not going to affect their sales, because their customer base only care about the logo, not the functionality. In fact, it'll make them more money through selling a ton of adapters so people can use their existing peripherals. It's win/win for Apple.

apple needs to start putting decent keyboards into macs and add a cut function to the file manager. that's all i want from apple

>>57145125
Oh but they will. No one thought the headphone jack was going to be serious. Apple is fucking retarded.

Next step is to remove the storage device and store everything in the cloud.

>>57145190
you can't cut files on macos? is this true?

>>57145215
I can see this happening, but you'll need to pay monthly for unlimited icloud use

>>57145119
Don't worry

In a year Lenovo/Dell/HP will remove them too

Good riddance. It's about time to us to move to the superior format.

>>57145216

correct. you can drag to move, but there is no "cut" for files

>>57145119
Will they at least have more than one USB-C port?

>>57145237
it's command-X you lying jackass

>>57145251
Doesn't apply to files and folders in Finder

>>57145243
Those make the Mac too thick. They need to be removed.

>>57145125
they're very brave some might even say

holy shit

>>57145289
They'll be inconsolable, I'm sure

>>57145291

i was just as surprised.

right-clicks, looks for cut.... "no....."

>>57145256
command + c = reference file(s) for "copy"
command + v = paste a copy of the referenced file(s)
command + option + v = move the referenced file(s) file

You people are dumb
Cmd+C, Cmd+Opt+V

>>57145251

first I'm hearing of this. why not put it in the menu? and why is command separate from control? it's a real pain, especially if you remap stuff and use emacs.

It absolutely does. What are you even talking about?

It's in the Edit menu.

>why not put it in the menu?
No clue
>why is command separate from control?
It's better that way.
>it's a real pain, especially if you remap stuff and use emacs.
Really? I love Apple's use of Cmd instead of Ctrl specifically because of my heavy CLI use. That and the better ergonomics.

You're a Windows user dual-booting with Linux Mint.

>tfw apple strategy of removing shit increases margins and sales at the same time because of "design" meme
>tfw they will be considered pioneers when in fact they are scam artists

>>57145119

They do this shit for marketing. They have went beyond caring about the kind of retard that buys their shit. USB is still abundant and in no way deprecated. But whatevs. Fuck Apple erryday.

They should just remove themselves already like Jobs.

Hopefully they remove the charging port next

>>57145125

They will. And it's the right time, too. The old non-reversible USB connector has always sucked.

>>57145171

It's not about the logo, retard, it's about forward thinking. The new connector is objectively better. It just creates some headaches for people with legacy products, which is never a valid reason not to do something new.

>>57145200

Nobody cares about the fucking headphone jack. It's over.

>>57145119
>an entirely port-free mac with wireless charging
I want one.

Anything older than USB C is deprecated anyway. Good on Apple for forcing progress, once again.

Why are Apple shills so salty?

>>57147761
Thank you, Pajeet! A pack of Apple™ toilet paper has been dispatched to the street outside your shack!

>>57147879

Maybe we're salty because fags like you reflexively accuse us of making shallow, compulsive purchasing decisions based on a logo instead of a legitimate, reasoned interest in the product. What's more, people like you generally make those assumptions from a position of little to no experience with the product in question.

It really is pretty insulting, when you think about it.

>>57145365
no, you're not

>Currently, Apple already sells a USB-C dock with other USB and HDMI ports for $79
KEK. Buy more adapters goy-fanboy.

>I want the future
>wait no! I don't want to upgrade muh stuff, are you insane??!!!

Pick one retards, USB-C is the future, how will we get to it if its not in any products. Dumb fucks.

>>57148838
transitions suck and should be handled gracefully when possible.
it's possible on the mbp which has enough place for old and new.

>>57149783

The most likely and logical outcome is that those 2 ThunderBolt ports will be USB-C, the other 2 USB ports will remain. Its kind of annoying when sensationalist clickbait shit is taken seriously on this board.

Wow so stunning and brave. I can't wait to see what innovation Apple comes up with next.
