  • Final Cut Pro for Mac and Final Cut Pro for iPad 2 have grossly different features

    If the two suites aren’t fully cross-compatible then that’s a major issue and they shouldn’t have the same name. I would expect to be able to open a Mac FCP project on iPad, but at the moment I can only import it in the other direction. 

    Personally I hope the iPad version begins to grow closer to the Mac version, since I see Apple being much more active about FCP for iOS development than they are with the Mac side, which has been relatively stagnant for a while. Long term I’m sure they plan for a FCP for Vision Pro - in which case feature parity between Mac and iOS versions becomes more important.

  • M3 Ultra Mac Studio rumored to debut in mid-2024 -- without a Mac Pro

    I much prefer macOS over Windows but unless a person really needs Mac specific software they are much better off using something like a HP Z8 Fury G5 which offers much more freedom for high end applications.
    LOL no. 

    With the money needed to spec that out like a Mac Studio, it’s better to just get an actual Mac Studio or Mac Pro. 

    There are still professional situations where an M3 Max isn’t up to scratch. Such as with 3D animation, where high end rigs can have up to 1TB of RAM and multiple GPUs (even if they aren’t run in SLI having a free GPU whilst one is working can be helpful). 

    Additionally the cost of updating a GPU on a rig each year is less than the cost of buying a new Mac Studio each year.

  • Future Apple Vision Pro rumored to be directly connected to a Mac

    $799-999 could work. Mac Studio pricing does not. 

    This sort of pricing is a pipe dream. There’s no way that Apple will abandon internal computing and make this just a monitor that you wear on your head. 


    The vision of “spatial computing” is fundamentally sound; inevitably we will be interacting with our computing devices in a spatial environment. It’s just a matter of when it comes to maturity… whether it’s in the next five years or in the next fifteen. Probably it’s the latter.


    For that spatial computing paradigm, the cost of a laptop makes a lot of sense. I can imagine that Apple sees in the long run users owning iPhones, iPads and Visions - whilst the Mac becomes an increasingly niche product.
