Apple’sbig developer league , WWDC , is usually not the place for hardware updates , but as Tim Cook said at the commencement of WWDC 2017 , “ This is the bragging WWDC ever . ” To that end Apple herald upgrades to nearly every exclusive product in its computing machine stemma up , and thoroughly fucked over every single mortal who purchase a MacBook Pro back in November .

Things started off nicely enough . Appleannounced an update to the iMac , with discrete AMD graphics cards coming to every 4 super acid iMac that are muscular enough to let you savour the HTC Vive VR headset . There were also extra Thunderbolt 3 port and a central processing unit advance : The new iMacs will runKaby Lake .

If you ’ve hear Kaby Lake talk about in relation to Apple , it ’s because Apple has skipped Kaby Lake in the past . Notoriously when Apple refreshed its laptop line last twelvemonth , for the first time in two years , it skipped out on Kaby Lake .

Now it ’s updated every single laptop and desktop to Kaby Lake . This is a Brobdingnagian improvement for iMacs and the MacBook , but it ’s profoundly deeply plaguey for those of us who bought the new redesigned MacBook Pro back in November . specially as these unexampled Kaby Lake machines are cheaper as well .

The only bright side , for former adopter , is that Kaby Lake peregrine processors are n’t always that much faster than Skylake processors — something Gizmodo learnedwhen pitting the Skylake Macbook Pro against Kaby Lake machine from Razer and Dell .

While these sort of processor refreshes are very common with other computer makers , Applehas always been very tedious to embrace processor updates . In fact , it ’s long been part of the “ Apple Tax ” ( alongside the high Leontyne Price Apple computers demand ) . So , from an early adopter who hoped she had at least a year before you refreshed and made her equipment obsolete — goddammit !
