So, since this is the "future products" forum, I'll say it was interesting updating the document I maintain to track this. It goes beyond the present, and includes my predictions. You can see the old ones above in my second and third posts. I'm stil…

Here is the current timeline. For now, I'm ignoring the details of different core counts in M3 Pro/Max: A4 (March 2010) iPad 1 :: iPhone 4 A5 (March 2011) iPad 2 :: iPhone 4SA5X (March 2012) iPad 3 A6 (September 2012) iPhone 5A6X (October 2012) iP…

My immediate reaction was that the A17 "Pro" instantly made more sense. I think we'll get an A18 and A18 Pro (on N3P). This will parallel M3 and M3 Pro. The M3 Max is now, finally, in a class by itself. I imagine that it is now geared/architected m…

A two hour presentation, but part of that will be Resident Evil. None of this makes any sense without a Capcom segment. The A17 "Pro" label makes more sense knowing that M3 Pro and M3 Max are likely here, released more or less at the same time. The…

Solid arguments can be made for either M2 or M3 with regard to the iMac, but anything else (other than iPad Air) has to be M3. I still tend to lean toward the M2 and M2 Pro for the iMac, with possibly the big news being a new display with an intern…

jellybelly said: 1.) I don’t think anyone has predicted that 24” iMacs might be upgraded not only with M2 but also with M2 Pro and M2 Max SOC as “scary fast” options. I’d expect the M2 Max will be faster than the base M3.For the iMac 24”, t…

byronl said: why does it even still exist. I can't imagine it sells at all It has a fan. That’s what differentiates it from the Air. No throttling under load. Thus, the “Pro” label. Basically a Pro laptop for people who don’t need high-end…

Could this be a redesign of the 13" MacBook Pro? In black? iMac gets M2, then they roll out a new product, the M3 MacBook Pro. No M3 Pro/Max until WWDC. Edit to add that it’s not a live event. The teaser isn’t an invitation for anyone. It’s basic…

Probably a translation issue? Is it easy to access the Chinese original, to compare to the English version? Or is it paywalled?

Not sure how it happened, but a key piece of info got edited out of this summary. The NY Times is the source of the story about China and AI being at issue, while Variety is the source of the story that says the parting is amicable.

Agree that it is BS. I could do better. For example, A18 will probably be on N3P, not N3E. You heard it here first, folks! Send me your money! He might be right about there being both A18 Bionic (neural engine) and A18 Pro (hardware ray tracing), I…

iMac Plus won't happen until they can also release a parallel display at the same time. I still think the 30" Retina is perfect and likely, not 32". It can't be a high-end XDR unit, that would have to be an iMac Pro, which was replaced by the Mac St…

We still have about a month before I will feel comfortable saying this, but it’s really starting to look like iMac will skip M2. This goes against everything I understood about Apple silicon for macOS. To the point where I still don’t really believe…

I don’t know (obviously!) but I think most likely there was a press-release/video launch planned for tomorrow that has been pushed back a few weeks (to the original planned ship date), because Apple doesn’t want to appear tone-deaf, celebrating just…

M2 spec bump for the current iPad Air before the holidays is one of the few things that wouldn’t be surprising. The news here is the second, larger size. This would parallel the MacBook Air, which now has two sizes. So I’d rate this as “possible” r…

programmer said: The A17 includes the new GPU w/ hardware raytracing capabilities. That will be in the M3 series of chips. Yes, I saw that! Thus the "Pro" moniker. It seems like an odd choice of name, unless they release a plain A17 next …
