The MBA 13" is the perfect first candidate for the M3. The 3nM process will bring significant, 5nM/3nM = 67% approx improvement in performance to power ratio. How Apple decides to share performance to power out in the M3 we don't know. Given the fan…

Apple is foolish for pursuing an anti-union strategy. Collectivisation has numerous benefits for employer and employee despite the employer's misgivings. Top management meeting representatives of the workforce means much ground can be covered in l…

There was a time when Apple always led with new technologies - mostly a deeply unprofitable time. In latter years, they work in secret, study what the competition is doing, innovates on top, patents to the hill, then embarrasses the competition. M…

It should also be mentioned that SSD speed is proportional to its size and especially that the smallest, 256GB, SSDs are essentially crippled by having only half the bus width. When SOC RAM is limited, as it is with Apple silicon, the SSD is crucial…

The 3nM process should be a game-changer for portable devices in terms of speed per unit energy, not so for desktops where a 40% cut in CPU power usage is not really significant in the overall scheme of things. An M3-equipped 11-inch MacBook Air wit…

What is a "transit terminal"? The term is not in the Cambridge English dictionary online.

I cannot imagine why some think it is fine for trillion dollar companies pay1-2% marginal tax when poorer members of society starting out in the jobs world pay marginal rates of tax approaching 70%, e.g those paying income tax, national insurance an…

What next? A £100k Jony Ive designed CD player?

"That claim was to do with how Apple acquired sound recordings, and a 1968 "Apple" trademark, when it acquired The Beatles' firm Apple Corps in 2007. " Apple Computer did not acquire Apple Corps, only the right to use the name Apple with music. Fr…

I am hoping the forthcoming 3nM Apple M3 will make an 11-inch MBA with 16hrs+ battery life viable.

This is about the ugliest, ungainly bike I have ever seen. I would be embarrassed to be associated with it.

The current, fashionable AI is all big data and neural nets. In the big data is incorporated all the terrible misjudgements humans make. So you can simulate a mediocre decision from it and? AI has been with us for over 60 years. The current trend …

Agreed, the best aesthetic place for the battery is in the tubing but equally it should be user-replaceable. I don't know which chemistry has been used but if it is energy-dense plain old Li-on, then that is only around 400 'cycles' before it is ser…

This is stereotypical EU over-reach. The European Economic Community was formed to maintain friendly relations (i.e peace) and facilitate trade between European countries after WW2. Now they are legislating on everything from bananas to buttons and …

Three awful mistakes in a row - the wedge-less MBA, the monstrosity Studio and now the Mac Pro which alienates all its key markets. I was present for the second coming of Apple but I feel that golden era has sadly passed. I doubt the 'Vision Pro', w…
