Schiller's subtext is this: "We believe the vast, vast majority of people taking photos are doing so with their iPhones. It'll be interesting to see how the sales for it fare will the Apple faithful buy it anyway and delude themselves into thinking it's wonderful even though it's a big step down? I wouldn't be surprised. This new MacBook is just a giant failure in every way. But wait! There's no USB-A slot on this shitty new MacBook! So I'd have to go buy some kind of hub or adapter, or buy an all-new USB-C card reader. I have one of those lying around in case I ever need to read a CF card again (not likely), or my SD slot were to fail, or if I needed to read a Sony MemoryStick (not likely at all).
Now, using a USB card reader could be a workaround. Only if you have an actual SDcard in there does something stick out, but that's not a problem because normally you don't leave the cards in there very long, only for when you need to transfer stuff, then you put them back in the camera or whatever.Īnd yeah, expecting people to just use wireless transfer is indeed idiotic, especially given the gargantuan image sizes that modern mega-megapixel cameras create. On my Dells, they usually have a little plastic insert to keep dirt out, the slot is spring-loaded, and that plastic insert sits completely flush. I haven't seen many SDcard slots on laptop computers that stick out when there's no card in it. So we think there's a path forward where you can use a physical adaptor if you want, or do wireless transfer." And then more and more cameras are starting to build wireless transfer into the camera. So we could never really resolve this - we picked SD because more consumer cameras have SD but you can only pick one. Then there are very fine and fast USB card readers, and then you can use CompactFlash as well as SD. You've got this thing sticking halfway out. Schiller said, "Because of a couple of things. From a report on The Verge: Speaking to The Independent (paywalled), Apple exec Phil Schiller said the company had dropped the SD card slot as it was "cumbersome" and because wireless transfer technology for cameras is "proving very useful" as an alternative. Some are unhappy with the inability to get more than 16GB of RAM, some are upset with the high-price, some are unhappy about the missing physical Escape and function keys, and many are unhappy because Apple didn't put an SD card slot in the MacBook Pro.
Apple's new MacBook Pro models have upset many people for many different reasons.
