Politics aside - having geographic distribution of chip production is essential as to not have a freak natural disaster kick us back into the Stone Age if most chips are manufactured in one small location.
-
This is very good news if true and looks like Apples short term plan of having AI providers bid for distribution is working well. Google's Gemini reasoning models are very good and can only help to improve Apple's customer experience

Apple Silicon has really been instrumental to Apples whole product lineup. Really it is the best move of any company I can think of. Still using M1Max and it is by far the best Mac I have ever owned. Hoping to retire another intel iMac soon but can…

I read this as whatever is next for Vision Pro has completed and Siri would have been fixed earlier if Vision Pro was not the apple of Tim's eye. iOS is quickly looking like the feature phone of smart phones given that any decent AI experience and …

The tariff game sort of makes sense in its destructive chaos. I do not like it one bit, but there is some method in the madness. Ensuring that chips, electronics and other increasingly strategic products have a geopolitically diverse footprint make…

Btw i see a lot of questions on how people could vote for Trump.. well i ask myself that as well but consider also that likely a large chunk of his support base own no or small quantities of equities and thus likely do not give two flying quacks abo…

I am trying to make lemonade out the lemons that Trump gave us. Ok Looking at the bright side of the chaos… Firstly - devices may be 80% of revenue but only about half of net profits. Services division is the best growing with 75% gross margin. Unl…

I think it is great that Apple offers security updates to older devices. Very good and helps reshape their ecosystem towards iCloud use and enables families to pass down older devices to others.

Personally I love the iPad Pro 13"M2 model. It is also a corporate board room staple. I am conflicted about the iPadOS software as I feel it is a bit restricted but on the other hand very familiar. Using it with the Magic Keyboard and a bluetooth m…

Tricky balancing act for Apple balancing the number of SKUs to meet different needs, strong competition and small market share. Everyone that enjoys my HomePod 2 home cinema and music sessions are impressed with the sound quality and experience. If…

As previous poster has said - Nvidia is likely used for training and fine tuning whereas Apple Silicon is used for inference. Scaling laws are now also relevant for inference with the advent of reasoning models. Apple still has a capex light AI stra…

For me AppleTV+ has some absolute bangers like Slow Horses, Foundation, Silo etc. and a some meh content. Overall it feels very much too Hollywood / California / US centric. Apple has too often leaned in on an established cast approach which is qui…

Tim Cook has excellent access to Trump so likely Apple will be an example used in a soon to come tariff war.
-
Wake me up when Apple Credit Card is launched.
-
Nah, Tim Cook should remain. He has done a great job overall and the services pivot is fantastic. Craig should have been axed some years ago though. iPad OS is a dog compared to what it could be, Apple Intelligence miss is on him etc. Also puzzled…

Overall great improvements and evolution. Memory bandwidth seems to be lower than the theoretical peak bandwidth of the RAM type used. Does anyone know why?
-
M3Ultra instead of M4Ultra is likely due to Apple being hard at work during 2024 to make that happen and would have had to start over if skipping directly to M4Ultra. Hopefully any lessons learned with M3Ultra can help accelerate M4Ultra.
-
Overall it makes eminent sense for Apple to invest in its largest market in the world similar to how it is investing in other markets to ensure market penetration and traction. Texas is becoming/is a vibrant hub of innovation and looks like more an…

Wonderful and Apple is getting it right! Enable the user to choose which AI engine to hand off more complex things to that Siri cannot internally handle is the right move and also simplifies the international approach. Grok3, Claude, Mistral etc wo…

C1 is not suitable for high end phones like previous posters have highlighted. C2 will likely be MVP for high end line. Personally I think this is the beginning of a beautiful evolution and progressive synergy between the different features in the …
