  • Stop us if you've heard this before: There's a new Apple Silicon killer in town

    On a consistency note…..at least twice in the story the 7840u is referred to as the 7860u…..
    No need to rush the proofread on such non-event story surely?

  • When will Apple upgrade all of its Macs to M4?

    Mac4macMac4mac
    It’s funny how Apple (TSMC) has been making M4 chips for months now, and only the iPad has been released that is using it…. Why? 

    My guess is that Apple is using the M4 chips that it’s making and putting them into the specialised hardware that is to run  Apple Intelligence in their Datacentres. 

    It’s the only plausible explanation for such a gap. 
    This being the (likely) case, it must be a Golden chip!!

    Are others having issues with the new TvOS? Since I updated my tv HD, AirPlay glitches sometimes when I start using it for music to my stereo (intermittent audio), the screen goes black for a few seconds and freezes when I use the “Menu” button in various (maybe all) streaming apps, and the beginning of YouTube videos and ads shows a black screen with intermittent audio for the first few seconds, with the audio returning before the video. I did a quick Google search but haven’t seen anything. I’m wondering if it’s losing the HDMI connection for a split second, which might result in this kind of problem, but the device connected to it has a display which would normally tell me if it’s disconnected, but isn’t showing that. 
    Yes. I have a similar issue when playing video using the YouTube app. I get audio and totally black video. The first few times I had to check to see if the TV switched off. The video never recovers. I have to stop playing the video, sometimes I need to exit the app, and relaunch the video and it will work. I have also seen the same behaviour from the Plex app too. My
    Apple TV is the 4K version. They can be fussy little boxes sometimes, and need a reboot on a somewhat regular basis…… but I do love them and have had every model since version 1 which I still have.

    If we could just add our Opal card to Apple Wallet, then this would be perfect. 
    Wow, Transport for NSW have finally done something worthwhile!

    Yet another reason Apple needs to be forced to open up the iPhone to user-installed apps.

    Not everything needs to be 'updated'.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.  This is actively user hostile behavior from Apple.
    Wow! What an antiquated ideology that is! 
    @Darkvader - welcome to the 21st century. You can’t stick with GrandMa’s old sayings these days. 

    Ever heard of Zero Day Exploits, Security Patches, Hotfixes, software updates ?

    In this century, it is Updated or you are Outdated. Pick one.

    In which country do they cost $39 each, Canada? In the US they're $29 each or $99 for a 4-pack.
    Article clearly states the individual lives in Dublin, Ireland.  So unless it's a misprint, he probably purchased them there for that price.

    Ireland uses the Euro. Apple Ireland sells airtags at €35 each or €119 for 4. Currently that translates to $37.80 and $128.51, so I can understand the $39 as a  rounded conversion from € to $ (if that is what they were trying to do). This is the US edition of Apple insider, so presenting US pricing would make sense - the correct US 4-pack pricing makes me think it was simply a typo, a 3 typed instead of a 2. They are right next to each other after all.

    Shame  on your proof reading though!
    This isn’t a “US version of Apple Insider”…. There is only 1 version, and it’s an international version…. (I am in Australia… should be enough proof!)
