Why Apple uses integrated memory in Apple Silicon -- and why it's both good and bad
Why not build a Homer?sbdude said:Genuinely curious, why not include higher capacity memory modules if there's demand for it? I imagine the pin outs are the same for every capacity Apple uses, so why not include more than 192 GB for those tasks that demand greater amounts of memory? Or are M Series chips unable to address that much memory?
People sure like to complain about the 192GB max, but the only honest ones are exceptions, the rest are just negative fucking nellies complaining about a limit they'll never reach, never need and have no skin in the game regarding.
MacRumors would like a word with those people.

Apple Vision Pro is reigniting the whole AR/VR headset market
Still see you're just copy/pasting from your other comments where you've said the same thing. Anything else to say, or is that the talking point you're paid to spam around?miiwtwo said:until the device costs bw $1000-2000 (Pro, non Pro, whatever) we cannot talk,

Why do not MORE people hate Xitter?darren mccoy said:Why does this site hate X so much?
The owner is a lying, bigoted ignoramus that forces the site to promote his shit above all others (can you say narcissistic personality disorder) and that of his Nazi followers who ruin every post and thread on the site with their conspiracy theories, lies and their violent & bigoted views.
Why are people (especially those not like Elmo) still on that steaming pile of crap site?Elon is a genius, he is advancing human kind, and making Twitter the place for free speech.You might not like what he says, but the point is he can still say it.

EU DMA architect says Apple seems to want to be fined for non-compliance
They already have customers on their side, you think all Apple customers were ignorant about the devices they bought or that they lied in those surveys that consistently put Apple at the top of customer service rankings? The EU is ignoring all of them by kowtowing to greedy, whiny corporate bitches like Epic and Spotify. The world is truly upside down on this.lam92103 said:India is also working on a similar law and can fine companies based on global turnover. It is not long till Apple will be forced to allow competition by laws world over. They should be using this as a PR opportunity to get customers on their side, by offering some concessions, rather trying to fight the legislation

Epic and allies are complaining about Apple's US App Store fees, while they charge about t...
But he prefers trolling in this forum for some reason, like this is MacRumors. Probably just took a wrong turn somewhere.Afarstar said:
You’re obviously not an Apple fan. Suggest you swap to Android. That way you can expose your private life to whoever you choose.VictorMortimer said:I don't understand why you'd try to pretend it's even remotely the same.Epic does not control access to any platform. Any developer can put up a website and sell a game directly to the public, giving Epic nothing at all.The same does not apply to Apple. A developer putting up a website can sell a game to Windoze users, Mac users, Linux users, and Android users. But they cannot sell to iPhone or iPad users without Apple's permission and losing 15% or 30% of their revenue to Apple.I'd be perfectly happy if the "app store" concept died completely. But if a developer chose to put something in Apple's app store, or Epic's game store, that should be on them, not on Apple.I'd much prefer to download software to my iPhone directly from the developer's web site, not having Apple playing gatekeeper, morality police, and robber baron. I'd prefer to be able to back up that game to my storage, so that if it's ever taken down I can still reinstall it on another iPhone, not having to rely on Apple to keep it online.

US DOJ attacks nearly every aspect of Apple's business in massive antitrust suit
That's true only under Trump, despite the fact it's supposed to be (independent).Madbum said:
DOJ is not independentmike1 said:pslice said:I realize the DOJ is an independent entity from the political parties, but there are two tech political parties, Apple and the “others”. I think the “others” are in charge of this legal action and it’s driven by their jealousy of Apple’s ecosystem. These “others” need to get over themselves. As a long time Apple consumer, I am really tired of these frivolous lawsuits. Don’t like Apple, don’t buy Apple.
DOJ is not independent. It is a department within the Executive branch, run by an Attorney General that is appointed by the prsident. -

Apple axes Wi-Fi router division, apparently signaling the end of AirPort
Yes, well, I guess we'll see how Apple fares as a company and whether this approach is best, time will tell.altivec88 said:Trust me, I won't lose any sleep over it. Our opinions differ. You feel a company shouldn't act when lies go viral and I do (unless of course what is being reported is the truth). You feel that no harm to Apple is being done by this and I do. Just a matter of opinions really and I don't think we are going to change each others minds, so we'll leave it that.
The ignoring of the MacPro on the other hand is causing me to lose sleep, but that's a different storey.
As for the Mac Pro lack of update, that's actually very interesting too (as an aside I know, not part of this thread), but someone recently posted a link to a cnet or Macworld article (I forget which), nothing too earth shattering in it except they were commenting on how someone found a string in macOS I think it was that indicated a new product with 10 USB-C connections. The interesting bit about the rumour wasn't so much the 10 USB-C ports, but that it was written *before* the MacBook Pro launch which as you know is now going all-in with USB-C exclusively for its ports. What this means? Perhaps nothing, but it's very interesting that the Mac Pro has 10 ports today and only now that the MBP has launched (plus the Retina Macbook) can we assume with confidence that Apple is going all-in across all their lines with USB-C. Again, perhaps nothing, but it just seemed a bit too coincidental, so maybe, just maybe a new Mac Pro is coming soon. This is probably old news, but if not, thought you might like to know. Fingers crossed, I'd love to see an update to that machine, another product for me to desire (strongly!). -

Calm and rational is childish and paranoid and hair on fire is adult, right, is that what you think?VSzulc said:
Are you 12? 14? Is your experience with the media limited to YouTube, or is just because you don't know anything about media, PR and how a business runs?williamlondon said:
That's funny, first I think most people don't pay any attention to these blogs, so they aren't likely not to buy (in significant numbers) and negatively affect sales of these products, and for those that do, the comments I've seen are, "I'm going to run out and buy 2." If it becomes a problem, then Apple may comment, but to expect them to comment on every single internet blogger article is simply asking them to validate the profane and silly. Apple is above getting all worked up with these sorts of stories, and I for one am glad of it. It shows decorum on their part.altivec88 said:
Do some of you work for Apple or something. I just don't get it. Where did I demand anything?williamlondon said:Sounds more like Chicken Little running around demanding that God confirm it was just a pea. ;-)
What I did say, its in Apple's best interest to quash these negative articles if they are not true when it becomes viral like this. But no, to some of you, its in Apple's best interest to just absorb these negative lies and watch their Airport sales tank in the mean time. Heck even this site has another article with the factual title "With Apple abandoning Airport, here are the best alternative Wi-Fi routers for Mac Users"
Yup. I'm the bad guy here.
Regardless, the negativity of people who assume end of world never ceases to amaze me. There is no official statement from Apple about EOL of these products, they are still selling and supporting them, the team was neither fired nor laid off, they were reassigned, that's all the *rumour* reported. If you are paranoid or generally negative you might assume the worst rather than wonder if th
This is not just a "la-di-da-lemme just make up a crazy story for hits, lols!" Kinda situation. Lemme give you a recap, I'll try to go slooow.
This story started out as a report with Bloomberg. (No, not the odious liberal ex-mayor-Bloomberg, but the financial news giant he spawned).
Bloomberg is one of the biggest and most reliable places to get business news. It's not a random blog, or a teenager in his pajamas-writing Apple rumors. When Bloomberg writes something, people pay attention.
Part of why people pay attention, is because Bloomberg are journalists. Before they even posted that story, they contacted Apple for a comment.
That comment was "no comment"
Now you're free to believe that Apple PR are staffed by dolts, who say "no comment" to every story that passes by them. I like to believe that they check with their superiors on what to say, if it's something out of the ordinary like this.
Only after getting a "We don't want to discuss our future plans on this" with Apple, did Bloomberg publish the story. Which is why you're reading about it here.
Now say what you want about Apple, but they aren't dumb. They know that a story like this can cost them sales.
Why wouldn't Apple say: "While we don't like to comment on speculation, Apple has no plans to cease offering AirPort routers blah blah."
Nope, instead they neither confirm nor deny that the story is true, which usually means that it's true.
Oh, the irony is very sweet with this one. You've got it all figured out, Apple is doomed. Good for you. Meanwhile, we adults here have figured out this means exactly nothing, but go ahead and believe what you want, meanwhile the adults will act calmly and rationally and giggle while the children run around believing an apple dropping on their heads mean the end of the world.
What's even more ironic is that Listening Post this past weekend had a segment on media and talked about how even big name media outlets are hiring 20-somethings to run their blogs and write articles for them. You should watch it.
