Apple will have like 15 macbook skus but a small iphone is the straw that breaks the camels back.

They don't have 15 different Macbook chassis sizes. Most of those SKUs are swapping SoC and memory configurations on the same board and chassis design.

By that logic the iPhone 17 (base model) is at least 24 SKUs.

If for example the 15" MacBook Air ended up being less than 3% of Mac sales, I wouldn't be surprised if Apple killed it off.

I bet it still outsold the mac pro

I’m one of those people. I’m carrying a second gen se.

I bet the iphone mini still outsold several macbook skus

And yet, they sell, so people do want them.

And pay more than what you’d pay for ryanairs extortionate ticket printing service

I mean it isn’t surprising people put up such abuse when I find that usually these discount airlines are half the ticket price of a major carrier for the same sort of flight. I’ve gotten remarkably good at efficiently packing my allotted small personal item bag.

Discount airlines charge you if you so much as talk to a gate agent. I think their lawyers have found ironclad routings around something like that.

I wonder if its like frontier where they hide the standardized mobile boarding pass behind a dark pattern?

So far, you can just download the boarding pass to apple/google wallet after checking in. Only dark patterns are in their booking process.

So instead of one proprietary app now you need two?

What's darker than dark?

There are plenty of open-source apps that can store & show .pkpass files, though I don't know if they're compatible with Frontier's passes

You can also take a screenshot of your ticket. The passes are just for convenience.

Ryanair app blocks screenshots

I just tried and it does not (Android)

Do you perhaps have biometric unlocking disabled?

I do use biometric auth.

Vantadark patterns.

Ryanair is the dark pattern. Like damn.

Your body evolved to walk double that a day foraging and persistent hunting.

Just start a business? Now you need to find money and clients. That could be harder than the job search.
