I have been wanting this for Apple for a while. They are very “boring” when it comes to risk and pushing forward the way Steve Jobs did. I really think they have a lot of potential they are missing out on.

I still hope they eventually sell server blades for macOS.

Xserve was their big explicit enterprise push. Blades as a whole ended up as something of a niche. Hyperconverged is probably where we've ended up from there for the most part but it's not a big slice of the market.

Apple's big win was that consumer basically became enterprise. There was lots of noise around formal BYOD but in many/most places it just happened whether IT was on-board or not.
