MacPro said: I've been unable on my M1 Mac, using Terminal, to launch additional iterations of an application so far. Has anyone else tried this? I wonder if this is a security level increase that can be circumvented if required? Waiting…

2morrow said: Could some explain why they were not able to update the higher end MacBook Pros with the M1? In theory, Apple could increase the clock speed of the M1 for higher computation performance with the same number of cores. In pract…

a hawkins said: People are arguing about number, technical, history, etc would miss the most important point: Apple just make it works. Most users don't care wether it uses ARMs, Intel, AMD, that architecture, this technology, etc. They care …

chadbag said: Why would a unified memory system be a detriment to memory intensive operations? GPU cores needs to contend with CPU cores for memory cycles. Unless there’s fast enough memory to fulfill all CPU requests and GPU requests at t…

hammeroftruth said: spock1234 said: “ a gen1 foible” ??!! Any creative pro who expects a MacBook Air to meet his needs, including multi-display support, is just delusional. It’s hard to imagine any ‘Pro’ doing creative work on a MacBo…

michelb76 said: I'd be surprised of Apple will introduce models that are faster or a lot faster than the top AMD or Intel CPU's, within 2-3 years. It makes no commercial sense to do so, and the software probably won't make the transition that…

tzeshan said: Apple will be able to eat Windows OS shares this time. Two things. Apple Silicon Macs are rumored to last up to twenty hours on battery. And Pages, Numbers, and Keynote free applications are mature enough to be able to replace W…

robaba said: Wow did I screw up! Completely misread the selections at the Apple store, so I skipped over the 13” Pro entirely. Please Disregard. respect!

robaba said: I’ll put money on Apple taking the switch to ASi to rationalize the price model. Right now there is a $1,300 price gap between MacBook Air and the next nearest Mac laptop. I expect the Air to keep that sub 1000 price point but …

rezwits said: Hehe, you guys are kinda funny. The moral of the story, is Software and Hardware vendors, need(ed) to learn how to shift from CHIP to CHIP, or Platform to Platform, or your ecosystem is BLOWN! Where others in the last 40 years…

One fun point not mentioned or even really hinted at: Apple Silicon Macs will very effectively kill any would-be hackintoshes, as niche as they are, from existing. Sure, old Intel-based hackintoshes will continue to exist, but they’ll fade in any c…

TheObannonFile said: This raises the bar for the next gen iPad Pro. A14X alone will be killer, and there may be a bigger difference between the A14 and the A14X than ever before. They cant have an iPad Air being 80% as powerful as the Pro. Mi…

Even if I were to charitably believe this claim (I have asthma and currently bronchitis from the wildfires in September) by the time something like this might potentially be FDA-approved, the pandemic will most likely be over. This app (if it ships…

80s_Apple_Guy said: Shortsighted on Apple’s part. They need these companies. They have the experience and expertise in making their products. If they do away Apple has a big problem. Have to treat your vendors right. If Apple is doing the…
