I feel like the ideal would be a 2U, 8 mac mini with dual 10Gb ethernet, shared dual power supplies, actual datacenter heatsink layout would be such a great CI platform.
The very purpose of these hosted Mac instances is to help people not buy a Mac of their own. Any higher margins would have to compensate Apple for this cannibalisation.
Not really. The main purpose of this is to run CI that never was going to be a personal machine anyway. This is just making it difficult for devs to have automated testing of their software on macs.
That’s like saying Apple didn’t listen to the market when it deliberately avoided going all in on a solo AI play.
It’s not all about what you think consumers think they want. There are other more pressing factors, like ability to deliver and supply chain management which have strategic impacts in the longer term.

That's not a useful watermark, most of Apple's own offerings are nowhere near the iPhone revenue level.
