brother my point is they don't care about their product offerings outside of their phones. this post/thread is about one of their product offerings which is not a phone which is inferior to their competitors'. simple.
This 1000%. Data centres don't equate to medium sized labs and businesses. A stack of Macs is up and running without digging trenches, an electrician on staff and a department of PhDs to justify the spend.
It's likely that a stack of Macs will draw more power for slower prefill/decode than equivalently priced Nvidia GPUs. If power efficient inference is the goal, Macs are a non-starter.
If you seriously think apple products are nothing but a status item, you're deluding yourself and probably have been for decades.
If you seriously think apple cares about anything other than cell phones, you're deluding yourself and probably have been for decades.
...did you mean profit? I don't think they're manufacturing iphones just on the hope they delight you. This is also true of Google et al.
I don't get these weird parasocial emotional attachments/beefs people have with brands. Talk to a therapist.

My M1 Pro MBP is 6 years old and continues to be the best computer I own, so if that’s Apple not trying, god help everybody else once they do.

They've been selling phones for less than 20 years at this point? Though I suppose 1.9 is not equal to 1, so it gets the plural.

So if it isn't a comparative ability, now it's a power cost issue? This reads like goal post moving.
Oh, it's absolutely both. The power you waste waiting for TFTT on prefill will absolutely compound at the "medium sized labs and businesses" scale.
