Removing ports keep manufacturing prices down while at the same time people can buy new dongles. Customers are always looking for new reasons to give Apple money, but changing the GUI won't do anything with that.

I don't get it why can't you swipe in any direction to access one of the 8 other pages, you could even make it like you are moving around a cube.

I honestly believe there are no intelligent people in gui/ui design . iOS , Facebook , YouTube . Do people even look at what they've come up with ? And these fucking places have teams

Doesn't changing completely changing the laptop increase manufacturing costs significantly though?

>>57496041
no, these laptops are produced in batches. Basically, apple spends a bit more designing the new laptop but quickly recovers the loss by selling accessories that are required to make it work like a previous model.

I'm not sure how manufacture ring deals work but wouldn't foxcon charge them more for having to overhaul the assembly line, along with things like new extrusions for the case, and different cnc programs? I honestly think the touchbar costs more than a few usb 3.0 ports

That's not how you fry meat. You put it onto a heated frying pan instead.

Ok, then why didn't the trend with integrated motherboard ICs reverse a long time ago, with motherboard manufacturers removing integrated audio/LAN/etc. again so that consumers have to buy separate expansion cards for that functionality as in the olden days?

Because motherboards are built as functional items, not fashion accessories, primarily. It's just gaymer shit stuck on top to push brands, underneath all the shit it still works.
