The DMA ultimately leads to a technological monoculture where there is a single platform. It would take a lot less resources for Apple to just support and ship EU iPhones with Android. Any European customer that wants a real iPhone can just order on…

Applejacs said: Just remember when you spec your order that you MUST choose either 1tb or the 2tb option if you expect to realize these nice improvements. The only way you get 16gb of RAM, 256 or 512 only get 8gb. Also remember this is a …

saarek said: M4, that’s an interesting move. Especially considering the M3 isn’t even fully out yet with the Ultra chips (and hopefully the Extreme variant which the Mac Pro desperately needs to justify its existence). Wonder why they’ve jump…

designr said: There's an assumption built in here that so-called "spatial computing" is a real thing that anyone really wants. That's still to be determined. Being a long time Mac user, from way back in the day, many, many people consi…

I think a lot of people misunderstand what Apple has created with the Vision Pro. This is Apple saying this is the baseline experience users should have with spatial computing devices, and to enable that today, it needs this tech and costs this much…

Got my first Mac in the Fall of ‘87, a Mac SE that still boots up and runs to this day! Have owned many Macs over the years, currently have and use an M1 Mac mini as my main system, a 2009 27” iMac as a secondary, and a 2014 Mac mini as my server; …

Rogue01 said: According to the first picture, they claim PCalc is going to make Vision Pro worth buying??? A $3500 calculator? Really? There is no such thing as spatial computing. That is Apple's marketing spin for AR. Look up the defini…

TSMC customers that include Apple will increase orders for second generation 3nm process wafers Not so sure this applies to the M3 Ultra; the next generation 3nm process is not compatible with the first generation, which is why so many other compani…

currentinterest said: My prediction is that there will be A18 and A18 Pro chips that differentiate the processors in each model. The A17 Pro presages this move. This is exactly what I’m thinking they’re going to do. Design/fab for the “A1…
