I've not paid close attention to their changes (or not) in hardware prices, but there has been a significant amount of inflation since last year, much more than their raise in revenue, I know certainly in the US, and I know the US isn't alone in an …

I regret upgrading to iPadOS/iOS 15.5 because it has resulted in Safari failing so many tabs in so many sites, where the page is rendering, or you thought it was stable, and something changes, and POOF! It disappears, and anything you were doing on …

Perhaps (maybe, being charitable) previous iPad processors/SoCs didn’t have aa efficient DMA to accelerate it, or as many DMA channels. But to say they couldn’t do swapping more advanced than the on-demand paging used for memory-mapped files (which…

Games and non-games are all apps, so I find the headline is weird: the only thing sold via the App Store are apps and the data that feeds them in various ways.

I always keep in context this is an Apple rumor site, at least until they have actual hardware and software to test that the rest of us can buy. What can be said that Apple Insider knows is they need to keep fresh content to pay the bills 😏

MacPro said: Talking of Apple and Pro Macs... It amazes me that macOS itself hasn't had its RAW capability updated to read Sony A7IV RAW files yet. I installed a new dev Beta 12.3 yesterday in a VM, and it can't read them yet either. LUCKILY,…

OutdoorAppDeveloper said: And if you need to expand your internal fast SSD storage after you buy your Mac Studio, what then? How does that compare to the Mac Pro? Unless you have too many TB4 ports used up for displays, remember they’re go…

Hreb said: Even ignoring configurability, it's striking how much more RAM the 2019 Mac Pro allows vs. the Mac Studio. It seems unlikely to me that Apple will scale their "unified" memory up to those capacities on any Apple Silicon chip. I b…

JustSomeGuy1 said: If you look beyond the obvious "they're cheating" response, this opens up some fascinating questions. *Why* are they doing this? The answer is a lot less obvious than you'd think. Benchmarking apps will use as much CPU as t…

It will be interesting to see if they claim it’s for battery optimization and the reason why. Truth of the matter is many applications are inefficient in how they’re designed to run, and burn through battery for no real good effect. As much as tha…
