No More Speed Bumps for Macs, Only Meaningful Updates

John Gruber:

Behind the scenes last week in New York, I asked a few folks from Apple for any sort of hint why these two Macs — the MacBook Air and Mac Mini — went so long between updates. One thing I was told is that Apple wants to focus on “meaningful updates”. The days of “speed bump” updates are largely over. The value just isn’t there.

Guess I’m not getting a quad-core 13-inch MacBook Pro without a Touch Bar anytime soon…
