And yet, when talking about the 13-inch MacBook Pro, Apple likes to mention how good it is at photo editing and image processing - while never mentioning how it compares to other similarly priced MacBooks in its lineup. It uses the exact same chip, and given the more advanced design and features of the Air, the Pro is no more than a wannabe. It’s selling the idea that these laptops are somehow more “Pro” than the MacBook Air - and that’s simply not true. Well, when you dig into the reason people are buying it, you start to see the ugly truth behind Apple’s marketing. People keep buying it, so why stop selling it? I’m not going to fault Apple for wanting to keep that train rolling. There’s nothing wrong, in theory, with updating one of its most popular laptops. Apple made that clear in 2022, stating that the 13-inch MacBook Pro was the world’s second-bestselling laptop, only bested by the cheaper M1 MacBook Air. Why keep around a defunct old laptop that blemishes Apple’s otherwise stellar lineup? Well, it’s simple. Yet here we are, halfway through 2023, and Apple still refuses to retire this thing.
At the very least, it could have dropped the price. It had a great opportunity to quietly cancel it with the introduction of the 15-inch MacBook Air and the drop in price of the 13-inch Air. So, yes, Apple should discontinue the MacBook Pro 13-inch immediately.
