The Apple MacBook Air has always been one of the favorite products of fruit fans, the latest revelations point outJony Ive, known as Apple's legendary designer, once wanted to completely eliminate the MacBook Air; Johny Ive left Apple earlier in 2016.
The revelation comes from Walt Mossberg, once hailed as America's most influential tech critic, who revealed it on the Vergecast podcast. According to foreign media 9to5mac, Walt Mossberg said that Jony Ive had tried hard to persuade Apple to stop producing MacBook Air and make MacBook Pro the only Apple laptop.
Johny Ive believes that MacBook does not need the Air and Pro series, as long as the Pro is made thin and light enough, there is no need for the Air to exist, so that even users who do not need the additional performance of the Pro can only choose to buy, which will help increase the price and increase profits. This proposal caused a great deal of debate between Apple's design and product sales teams, and it was finally decided in 2018 that the MacBook Air should remain in place.
Since this revelation came from Walt Mossberg, it has a high degree of credibility, and Walt Mossberg also said that his *** came from Apple's top management. Looking back, the MacBook Air first came out in 2008, and there was indeed a period of silence in between, until 2018, when Apple made another major update to the MacBook Air.
