I don't even remotely imply to know anything about Tim Cook's candor between powerful tech titans, but I can't imagine Tim Cook telling anyone off like that. 

Now Steve Jobs saying that....oh that seems like it would have been instantaneous.

Elon is lying. Him and Tim have met before. Unless he means never met before about acquisition.

Back in April Cook also claimed they have never met or spoken before.

"In every case, the lack of PCI-E GPU support is the killing factor for the new Mac Pro"

You gave a music industry example.  Except none of the DAWs use intense GPUs or process data on GPUs.  Prior to the M series, most buying Macs leave the video alone and focus on the CPU as that was what bound the performance of DAWs.  I can easily imagine folks getting the new one and filling it w/PCI-e cards for Pro Tools and such.  Rack that and some interfaces and you have a very strong setup with plenty of extra expandability via Thunderbolt.

Apple's earbuds have never fit me well at all, and the AirPod Pros I can at least tweak the fit w/the different silicone nubs.  I actually just took advantage of the Prime Days offer for Beats Studio Pros for $170 bc my Air Pods 2 have devloped an issue where if you try and use any of the sound blocking features, then if you talk it starts spiking feedback in the right ear.

So it looks like there is about a 1/2" space between each of those Minis, which means about 2" per mini, which in a 19" rack means you are fitting 9 in a 5U space. Depth for racks range, but usually starts at about 17.7", which if you were doing flat Minis, you are probably fitting 4 in a 1U space. The new Mini is 5x5, which means you can have 3 Minis wide and depending on depth, you are looking at a minimum of 3 rows of 3 or 9 Minis in a 2U space. Seems to me the new Minis will be more space efficient pretty much however they are being racked. Yes the racking pattern may be different than the current one, but this seems like there is still plenty of efficiency to be gained.

The new iPad is 11th gen. I bought some 10th gen to update our family a month or so ago. I'm surprised they left the baseline iPad as the only product without Apple Intelligence. But this update leaves me feeling just fine about not having bothered to wait.

Now a chin on your phone to match the chin on your iMac. That case is fugly.

Meanwhile I haven't been able to use the prior buds and pods from Apple bc the basic ones fall out of my ears. The pros eventually start slipping some but they stay in much better and the different tips help a lot in comparison. I'll just wait for the 2's to be on a decent sale or for 3s to show up

The image in the Apple logo is a nebula.
