  • Three M3 chips could land in Monday's Mac line refresh

    Gurman and Ming-Chi Kuo seem to be in a backwards bicycle race with all this backpedalling going on.

  • Action button shown in new iPhone 15 Pro case leak

    anomeanome
    So a picture of a button in the same location as the mute switch, that looks almost exactly like the mute switch (yes, I get it looks more like a button than a switch), on something that might be an official mock up, but also might not be, is proof that they're ditching the mute switch...

    Having a mechanical switch for mute is obviously preferable to a solid state button. I still miss having the switch on the side of my iPad for either mute or rotation lock. Plus there are several advantages to having a physical indicator that your phone is muted.

    These predictions never make sense. Since when does Apple update the same products twice in the same year? Exactly right. Never. The Mini just got the M2 AND a complete overhaul in January--so Apple's going to update it again 9 or 10 months later? Ridiculous. The MBPs just got speed-bumped to the M2 in January--and Apple never makes another processor change this soon. I would have guessed that *maybe* the 13" MBA, which has been out just over 1 year, would have gotten the M3 this fall. But with the release of the 15" M2 model, I don't see Apple having the two sizes of MBAs on different processors--I think both models stick with the M2 until maybe next summer. 
    I remember back in 2008 they released the Early 2008 MBP and then later that same year the Late 2008 MBP.
    2012 they released the 3rd Gen iPad in March, and the 4th Gen in October.

    It's rare, but it has happened, especially when there was new technology they wanted to push. The 4 Gen iPad was the first with a Lightning connector and a Retina display.

    Will believe big iMac when I see it. Lucy has pulled the ball away one too many times. 
    It's the current "Apple TV Set" at this point.

  • Usual suspects complain about App Store price hikes outside US

    anomeanome
    I can't even tell if prices have gone up in the Australian store, since there are no paid apps on the front page.

    And I'm not entirely sure where to start looking for them. This might take a while.

    On the other, other hand, a quick check shows we might be marginally up against the US$ this morning. Still pretty low, but higher than the last time I checked a few days ago.
