Some thoughts... Can’t see Apple pursuing high end games with Tim at the helm. Like Steve before him, gaming just isn’t in his blood. See how far their willing to reach to establish themselves as a video streamer? They could have done this for ga…

Torn between replacing my ( increasingly banged up) iPad Pro or my mothballed iMac. It would be good to have a desktop to host files and backup my iPads work. It would be nice to be able to transfer legacy files still on my old 21” Intel iMac. Bu…

Looking forward to Apples high end Mac Mini or a low end compact Mac Pro. Both are probably overkill for my needs, but I like the idea of buying an upper midrange cpu that will be useful for many years after decades of having to subsist on used, lo…

Boy where to begin with this one? Might as well do commentary in bold...darkvader said: I mean, the gaming ad isn't wrong.I rarely play games. When I do, I play games that used to run on Mac.By all means buy what you want, I’m not going to te…

They won’t need the same kind of thermal envelope for the ASi processor/gpus and appear to be moving to a “chinless” design so, yeah the iMac Pro is going away. No doubt the M1X iMacs will be close in cpu performance if not gpu output—just not the …

Encouraging insourcing of a product critical to our economy and security as a nation should not be considered swamp material out of hand. Sure it COULD BE structured that way, but they could just as easily build in verifiable metrics and claw backs…

So someone enlighten me, if the courts force Apple to allow red party app stores in the name of “consumer choice” does that mean that they will require all software sold on 3rd party stores to be sold on Apples App Store too? Yeah, didn’t think so.…

I have no doubt the Pro will live on, but: Will the Pro shrink down into the newly developed mini-modular Or stay in the current full-sized-modular chassis? Will the Pro be a chiplet-style cpu/gpu or a huge SoP? How will it handle memory? Will th…

Limited to 16 gig memory? Nah, that makes no sense. As the computing power increases, Apple will need to bump the memory and bandwidth of the on-chip fabric in order to prevent bottlenecking. I also expect Apple to have an on-package graphics chi…

Apple is likely working on the second iteration of the Apple Car. Not that the first won’t benefit from having a competent systems integration s guy, but where this hire will really shine is in the development of a cohesive, well thought out automo…

First iPhone used an off the shelf ARM cpu, this is nothing different.
