I'm particularly glad the Touch Bar got "killed by Apple".

This list includes some things that were killed then brought back. Seems unfair.

Mac Studio is the Pro. It should have always been. Mini should be Mac. Studio, Neo, Mini et al fall outside of what makes the Mac line up comprehensive to me. iPad Mini is not mini, it's an iPad 8", like... there is an 11/13" ones. And it should have an M chip because Balatro is so sweet on my 11 Pro and chokes on whatever is in the Mini. There should a Pro version of it with Face ID for a hundo more. I like most about the iPad Mini, but give me Face ID and speed and charge me more for a smaller screen, I am tired rotating the damn thing trying to find where the Touch ID button is. WTH is the iPad Air? Pro sans Face ID and some screen stuff? Don't they pay their people well?

PSA - Ford killed the Model T. Big whoop.

My general impression is that Google is more fickle, but just the same I don't think this is a complete list

Not just fickle but their kills impact more.

Lightning Connector was not killed by Apple though. Not really.

Is there any evidence that it was "years of regulatory and industry pressure" that did it?

When Apple introduced Lightning it was as the "modern connector for the next decade" and... that's exactly what happened.

I personally agree, but the general public seems to think the EU had something to do with it.

Honestly this regulation should never have happened IMHO…

Arguably if anything killed by EU

Still love my Apple Airport Extreme APs. They just work.

I wish they'd bring those back so simple and easy to set up. Could use some more functionality like VPN's and such but otherwise a great product line-up. Now it seems every AP looks like an alien spacecraft.

Ironic if we're talking about the Apple Airport series https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bb/Early_Ai...

Dark Sky is the one that most grinds my gears. It was one of those unique apps that does something miraculous. Apple bought it and killed it for everybody that didn't use an iphone.

No floppy disk. I guess they didn’t actually kill it with the iMac but they certainly facilitated its death.
