If your hardware is obsolete, well, to coin a phrase, that's not Apple's problem.
And they will encourage adoption of Sierra on hardware that can support it.

That said, I agree with Adam that free iLife and iWork software is not bad news. That is unlikely to change substantially. But then the Mac mini was never intended to be a performance machine.

The mini may have the same problem the Mac Pro has: Thermal issues limit the amount of new hardware that can be included in the mini's diminutive box. Sadly there's no news about the Mac mini. The touch-bar on the MacBook Pro is little more than a toy and would be ergonomically inappropriate on a desktop computer. Given that Apple claims not to be interested in a touch screen Mac, it's hard to see how their response to the Surface Studio will be anything but underwhelming.
Competition for the iMac from the Microsoft Surface Studio will be heating up in the not-to-distant future. There have been hints that the iMac is also in for a refresh, though how fresh that will be remains to be seen. It's cute but turned out to be a technological dead end. In a rare bit of candor Apple admitted that the "trash can" Mac Pro was a mistake.

And current reports indicate a Mac Pro upgrade can be expected next year, with a return to an "expandable" configuration. For one thing, Apple's laptop line got an "upgrade" recently. We suspect that sales to owners of older Macs and iOS devices have dropped to the point where it was no longer worthwhile for Apple to bother charging for the apps anymore.Īctually your pessimism about the Mac no longer seems justified. Most people who want to use the iLife and iWork apps have likely either bought copies already or purchased new hardware since October 2013. Any effects from iLife and iWork becoming free - on competing apps, on Apple’s revenues, and on the perceived value of Apple hardware, for instance - have already taken place. In the end, this change doesn’t mean much. It has been about 4 years since this deferral likely began, implying that Apple has finally cleaned the associated deferred revenue off its books. According to Daniel Eran Dilger of AppleInsider, the deferred revenue trickles back into Apple’s reported revenues over 2 years for iOS and 4 years for the Mac. That may answer the question of why Apple is now making these apps free for everyone. In its Q4 2013 financial quarter, Apple delayed recognition of $900 million in revenue, in essence hiding that money from the quarterly report (see “ Apple Q4 2013 Results See That’s because the product (a Mac or iOS device) wasn’t “fully delivered” without updates to the software - it’s a “subscription accounting” approach. That move enabled the company to delay recognition of a portion of its sales receipts. Back in 2013, Apple made iLife, iWork, and OS X 10.9 Mavericks free and bundled them with every new Mac and iOS device sold. Why didn’t Apple just make these apps free for everyone in the first place? The answer likely lies deep within Apple’s accounting department. And it makes explaining the pricing easier for Apple. This is good news for holdouts who haven’t purchased a new eligible Apple device since 2013 but are running a supported version of the operating system and would like copies of the iLife and iWork apps.
