Yes, but he isn't exactly wrong about it either, and sure it seems as though it has really affected him, but Apple too need to take a look into their near past, and introspect things. Sure, they seem to be suddenly overcompensating the Mac fans by launching things out of the blue like the new Mac Pro or the iMac Pro, but with no real incentive to the average user to upgrade into their desktop hardware anymore, for one the price tag itself would turn off desktop enthusiasts who would prefer to either just build their own rigs, or go for other tower vendors, and moreover the latest Mac hardware just doesn't offer anything remarkable for their prices other than premium aesthetic looking machines that one would assemble themselves. Sure, people trash the trashcan Mac Pro but it was something truly original at the time and still maybe. And the same goes for the Macbook Pro line.
