I find it disappointing 8GB is still the base RAM. Apple usually supports Macs for ~7 years, so are they really planning to support 8GB of RAM in 2030? 8GB was the base RAM included on the 2012 MacBook Pro, 11 years later and it's the same. The MacBook Air has had 8GB standard since 2016.

12GB should be standard in 2023. There really is no excuse.
