Apple’s latest devices highlight a pattern some users call “feature handicapping.” The new MacBook Neo reportedly skips the backlit keyboard many Mac users rely on. Meanwhile, the budget iPhone E Series lacks wireless charging—despite Apple increasingly pushing wireless accessories. As the ecosystem moves toward cable-free AirPods and MagSafe Charger, critics argue these omissions pressure buyers to upgrade to pricier models, effectively limiting lower-tier devices to maintain Apple’s premium product ladder.
