ppietra said: actually the M1 cores are slightly faster than the A14 cores, even when you compensate for clock speed difference. It is probably because of the cache size and latency. Nope. I have an iPhone 12 Pro (2.99 Ghz) and an iPad Pro …

zoetmb said: I disagree regardless of the level of the new Macs performance. Users lock into hardware brands the way they lock into a political party or religion. Once they choose to believe something, they stick with it. And a very large per…

ppietra said: that is just your assumption! There is nothing that stops Apple from having a new architecture ready for both kinds of SoC - they basically did that last year, one month between launches is nothing. It’s not like Apple doesn’t ha…

gatorguy said: How can the process of scanning data on either an iPhone or iCloud be independently audited and verified when the software is closed source? Serious question. I can't find reference to it. Apple has provided detail on this. …

davidw said: It's not the "scan" that people are worked up about, it's the "search". Apple is searching for certain images on your device, that they don't want on their servers, not just scanning them for your benefit. What are you talking abo…

lkrupp said: And as AppleInsider and Apple have stated, images are not scanned on the device. But you choose to believe it’s a lie because...? No, images are scanned on device. What's funny is that people are just getting worked up about th…

bluefire1 said: People are against a lot of horrible things, but Apple, regardless of how laudable the company’s intentions, has no business intercepting anything that’s on my phone. Privacy doesn’t come with a back door. As for what people p…

gatorguy said: MplsP said: How many of the people screaming about CSAM have Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and google apps on their devices and an Amazon or google smart speaker in their home? Implying Apple is not any worse than "e…

larryjw said: Is Apple the world's number one supplier of anything? Most companies survive by mass marketing of cheap stuff, which means they need to have a massive supply of components. Almost everyone outsells Apple, except in Apple's ni…

Apple is trying desperately to remove some of the standing "spiteful" policies in a last ditch attempt to avoid regulation. It's not going to work. I've supported Apple's monopoly on the App Store due to the privacy and security it provided. Sadl…

DAalseth said: Well, Supply Chain is TC’s area of expertise. Yes, that’s a big part of it. The other is that Apple is one of the few companies with the $ Billions to throw around for capital in advance and also willing to assume the risk…

"While the Air exists, it's hard to justify recommending an iPad Pro over it." Comments like this are just beyond stupid. If you don't understand the target market for the pro models, that's fine. Just acknowledge it's not for you. There are man…

Naiyas said: ... Whilst I can get behind the reason, I just can’t get behind the method of execution. It’s very much like “curation creep”. We see on the App Store things like porn apps being banned. Do I want them? No. Is that a good enough…

Leifur said: So I understand the hashes come from a database run by a government? So then that government can easily slip any other hash into the same database depending on what they are looking for. This is building in that back door that w…

jkichline said: This is obvious. They’ve just released the first iMac M1. Why would the update that immediately in October? They will rather focus on the pro market segment where additional screen outputs and higher performance are key. No…

Japhey said: I’ve been holding off investing in GaN tech in the hopes that Apple might offer a first-party option eventually. I know they probably never will, but a multi-port USB-C charger from Apple would be awesome. It would definitely be …
