  • Apple unveils plans to ditch Intel chips in Macs for 'Apple Silicon'

    Why do people think that whenever something new comes out, everything old just stops working. Those people can just buy an Intel Mac, which will still be supported for years. If there aren’t any new ones sold, they can always buy a used one cheaper.

    Apples idea of years seems to be 5. Yes it’s correct as it’s ‘years’, but I don’t know many people who buy new Macs every 5 years.
    Shhhh - my 2012 MacBook Pro which has been supported for 8 years (& which I'm typing on now) might hear & get all confused!!

    Man, what a difference a year makes. My old 2011 15" MBP went obsolete 3.5 years ago.
    I went for the Retina model not long after they came out in the hope that as a new model it would be supported for the longest time - I haven’t been disappointed. 

    I’m still really pleased with it performance wise and hope that it will give me many more years of service!!

    While Beats headphones are popular, it's not like they're actually any good. 
    Is that so? I tried about 10 different sets of headphones before settling on a pair of Beats Studio3’s. Based on sound quality (the highly recommended Sony’s were far too bass heavy, didn’t like Bose or B&O’s ) & comfort (counted out B&W & Sennheiser).

    I know sound quality is very subjective but how many pairs of Beats headphones have you listened to recently?

    Apple will offer a new Apple Watch Activity Challenge to promote heart health, where anyone who closes their Exercise Ring seven days in a row from February 8 through February 14 will earn a special badge and stickers for Messages on Valentine's Day.

    @ Macgui - is the article wrong?

    Well, that leaves me out.   I have my Move / Red ring set so high that I can only complete it with a serious workout.   And, I can't do those kind of workouts 7 days in a row.   I shoot for 6, although 5 days a week is OK too.
    The exercise (green) ring is automatically set for 30 minutes each day so it should still be doable regardless of how high your red ring is.
