Interesting set of comments above. I can't see the Mac Pro getting capabilities that can't also be acquired via external Thunderbolt/PCIe enclosures for the Mac Studio and MacBook Pro. I think that's the unspoken, as-yet unrealized message that the …

Apple must feel strongly about other aspects of the case if they are willing to take this step. I thought the Masimo CEO made it pretty clear they want it both ways. They want Apple to settle the whole complaint, not just the specific patent infrin…

I like the attempts to maintain perspective and suggest the possibility that Apple might know what they are doing, like the recent iMac article by Peter Cohen. Concise and to the point. But it's also good to see Professor Dilger back and thinking ab…

Graphics architecture in the M3 family is a major step forward. Some things won’t be seen unless you’ve got A17/M3 or better. It will be front and center with the Studio and Pro — if there is a wait until later in 2024, we can hope that new and/or i…

For me, the most interesting is the crux of the second question, "... Apple is learning. But what?" This question could be applied to the Apple silicon experience. I think there is a lot of confusion with regard to the cadence of the silicon and th…

REVISION Adding some information I didn't include in my timeline about the A9. You'll see why I'm adding this info when I reply to Nubus's comment... The A9 was dual-sourced, from both TSMC and Samsung, due to the introduction of FinFET transistor…
