> The core of Apple's problem at the moment is to some extent the opposite - the base M1 Macbook Airs were such a leap forward, that for many people there is no need to buy the M2 or M3 etc.

I am not willing to spend this much money on a product if it will not serve me well for 4-5 years.

The idea that people should be getting the new machine every year is new, and bad.

Not even talking about upgrades - I'm saying that people buy the lowest configuration available - because it's cheaper and good enough. ie there was a time when the M1 was still available new, although the M2 was out - for many people it made sense to go with the cheaper M1.

Not wrong, but I get an annual allowance that I lose if I elect not to use it. This has the unintended side effect of causing me to care way too much about the annual macbook pro release.
