  • Apple will never do this as it would kill the MacBook Air market. Same reason why they’ll never add a touch screen to a MacBook. iPadOS is their heavily locked-down anticompetitive monopoly desktop OS, a la iOS. Every iteration of macOS in the last decade has destroyed api’s and features which non-apple apps and services rely on. Apple are more likely to get rid of MacBooks and macOS in favour of iPadOS, once it does enough for non-superuser “pros” to use it full time.

    This is why their monopoly should be broken, they should be forced to open up their firmware/hardware for alternative OS’s, and open up their OS api’s so alternatives can implement real/legitimate feature parity with iCloud etc, and all of Apple’s own services.

    Tbf any variation of “one third of a pound” is a shit name, so all this proves is that they failed to market the product.

    The real answer is likely that extra wide buns are not available from suppliers, and nowhere bakes their own bread these days. For the chains that have their own off-site bakeries and supply chains, the majority of consumers probably don’t want a much bigger burger, and those that do have big enough mouths to fit extra tall burgers, or buy 2 burgers which are easier to eat. I know if I’m extra hungry I’ll grab 2 cheeseburgers, but most of the time 1 plus the mandatory chips is enough childhood nostalgia junk for me. I wouldn’t care about a 50% wider cheeseburger.
