Title: Apple imposes new limits on its online orders due to coronavirus-induced supply issues
Post by: Redaktion on March 20, 2020, 22:22:27
Apple has updated its sales pages with a new drop-down menu in its Bag (checkout) page that allows a user to buy a maximum of only 2 given devices at a time. This applies to the iPhones that can be bought through this site, as well as the new iPad Pro.

More fun interpretation:

A bunch of sheep now have to actually use their Macbooks for more than FB and now have managed to break their KBs.

Instead of blaming Apple for poor design, or just using an external KB, they blame themselves (or come up with some other excuse) and order another Macbook.

Actually, I constantly see folks using their Macs (from developers to sales) for actual work, even though they have perfectly good company provided ThinkPad by their side!

I've seen the gamut. Worked in government for a while, so it was a lot of Dells and HPs. Most of the macs I have seen were older.

Either way, definitely a lot of macs out there, seems to be a popular choice if the workplace has a BYOD policy.
