  • New M3 MacBook Air arrives with faster Wi-Fi and better performance

    I'm seeing in the app on the headline list that the "MacBook" was updated. It should be changed to "MacBook Air" since these are two different products.

  • New 14-inch & 16-inch MacBook Pro sport M3, and come in black

    Wouldn't a completely matte black be more "pro", to reduce reflection?
    If Apple were to make a Vantablack computer, it would be awesome.

  • Long custom iMac order times don't mean that a refresh is imminent

    Disagree with almost all of PauloSeraa's post.

    iMac has never been very portable or upgradeable, so this is nothing new. The M1 iMac is arguably the most portable iMac, as it weighs almost nothing compared to its predecessors. iMacs do keep their resale value better than non-Apple computers, so they are reusable. They aren't impossible to sell or trade at all. Just look at eBay. They do remain useful for a long time.

    Until the M1 Mac mini, the mini has always been an underpowered machine with horrible value. The current mini and Studio basically can't be upgraded, besides replacing the entire machine. A big part of the value of the iMac since the Retina models has been getting a top of the line display included, so this is a positive, not a negative.

    It is weird that Apple has taken so long to update the iMac, which used to get updates every year. The cadence of all Mac releases has slowed down since 2020. An iMac with more than 16GB RAM is definitely needed. The all-in-one form factor is extremely good for office use, and even office users can use more than 16GB RAM. As far as cost-benefit, we know that isn't the main consideration for development, otherwise they never would have made the 2019 or the 2023 Mac Pro.

  • Apple freezes hiring outside of research and development

    Apple has tons of cash. This is what's it's for: to extend your lead when the market is in a downturn. Judicious is fine (does that mean that Apple wasn't judicious previously?) but tying a hand behind your back when you're making record revenue doesn't make sense.

  • Apple AI conference keynote concentrates on accessibility

    Apple's VP and Managing Director of Greater China is Isabel Ge Mahe. Why is it being written here as Ge Yue?
