I think Twitter is a dead company. It’s not growing and not paying a dividend. It had no future in terms of upside.
Apple has been riding out Steve Jobs legacy for a decade and I think that’s coming to an end. I just replaced my nearly 5 year old iPhone 7 with a left over XR that was the same price as a SE with bigger screen. I’m not paying $1000 or more for a phone.
Same with their new Arm based macs. I understand wanting to unify everything under iOS basically, but with online build services I don’t have to have a Mac around for compiling apps for the day job. I’ve used Macs for the past 20 years as I worked around Unix. And for most of that time things stayed out of my way and let me get things done. I switched my father over 10 years ago and visits with him went from me spending 4 hours donating and reinstalling windows every time I visited to half an hour once a year to install the latest OS update and TurboTax.
But I see very little reason to replace my nearly 10 year old MBP with another Mac. At least before I could also run Windows 10 as well on one machine. Plus the build quality isn’t what it used to be.
