So, only pay the M3 Ultra if you need a lot of GPU performance, or a lot more RAM than you can attach to an M4 Max (or for some reason need double the displays). The Ultra does so far seem to be most underwhelming part of the Apple Silicon family.

At least one company has publicly pushed back. The fact that there isn't more of this is so ridiculously sad, and frightening. Also, DEI is an extremely broad concept. Being absolutely and utterly against it means ... what exactly? That it should …

The fact that Google hasn't fixed these kinds of things is a serious issue. It also doesn't seem to care much about misrepresentation more broadly. When searching for "Covered California" (the California ACA exchange health plans) the first three th…

According to this page: https://nanoreview.net/en/cpu-list/cinebench-scores the M2 Ultra still beats the M4 Max in Cinebench in multicore performance, though it isn't exactly clear where that result came from, and the M2 Ultra wasn't ahead by that…

So, now even the regular 16 Pro has the 5X camera and no 3X camera. So, the range from 48mm to 119mm can't be covered at a reasonable resolution. Why? Just to say there is a 5X zoom without mentioning that 3X and 4X are going to be crappy? That isn'…

Please, Apple, don't make this change at the expense of a 3X or 4X camera. 5X is (mostly) a gimmick for bragging rights. It is sometimes useful, but 72mm is useful far more often, and that camera could use some improvements.

What's less surprising than the fact that fake apps can make it through Apple's overwhelmed review process is the fact that Apple does such a poor job of taking them down when they are reported. You would think that fake apps would be taken down wit…

Honestly, given the history here, Apple deserves to lose this one. I did get myself an Ultra 2 prior to the ban, and quite like it. But seriously, from all the reports, Masimo initially negotiated with them in good faith for a potential deal, then A…

Gawd I hope this isn't the direction Apple is going. I don't mind a 120mm lens, though I'm seriously not going to use it that often. But, killing off the 72mm lens to get that 120mm is insane. If the max simply had a better lens and camera for the 7…

This is as it should be. The Apple-to-Apple features are just going to continue being more advanced and predictable than Apple-to-RCS, and the color coding helps know what doesn't work. Better, though, might be a third color to represent RCS or end-…

About 4 times more Android phones ship per year vs iPhones (both in the US and globally), which has been consistent for years. That means the 4% of new Android sales that are from former iPhone users represents about 16% of iPhone units shipped. Tha…

Consider me highly dubious that any VR based on a headset, even one built into sunglasses will be more than a niche product anytime remotely soon. Maybe Apple will crack the form factor that at least makes it into a mildly successful niche, but th…

Hopefully they won't dumb down FCP itself in order to get feature "parity" like they did with Pages.

I wonder if Apple was just surprised at how little cooling their chips required, which could explain the overbuilt heat sink and cooling fans for the Mac Studio. It seems likely that the M3 Max will run just fine in a Mac mini form factor, and if so…
