Lasting Value – On the Future of Our Older Macs
April 14, 2012 by
There is no denying that the world of Mac is changing. The dramatic success of iOS first had a significant impact on Mac OS X back in the days of Snow Leopard.
Snowy was always billed as a release not focused on features, but on stability, and it took a little while longer to arrive than was originally announced. We waited 22 months for it to grace the Apple Store shelves, but at the time, this made a lot of sense — we accepted that Apple’s teams were working hard on their iOS products. Snow Leopard may not have brought us ‘shiny’, but I for one was quite happy to settle with ‘stable’.
Since that time, that narrow focus on iOS has broadened back out. Lion brought some iOS concepts back to the Mac, as well as introduced iCloud. We now await OS X 10.8, Mountain Lion. Scheduled to be released a mere year after Lion, we are promised even more features ‘inspired by iPad’.
Wait a second. What was that? It is due to arrive this summer. Just one year after Lion was released.
A new release of OS X hasn’t come so quickly since the operating system was very young and was still being established and stabilised.
This strikes me as quite a shift, and it brings me to an important issue — how does this affect the lifespans of the Apple products we buy?
