One feature I’d like to see is a way to turn off, and keep off, those annoying motion photos. I forget what Apple calls them. Rarely, I’ll want one. But despite Apple having a button allowing you to keep the setting you last had on the camera, this turns on every time. If I don’t remember to turn it off, I’m stuck with it, until I notice it’s yellow, and turn it off.

The setting you're looking for already exists in iOS 13.

Settings -> Camera -> Preserve Settings -> Live Photo

Toggle that on and the Camera app will remember your Live Photo setting until you change it again.

And I said it doesn’t work. I’ve tried it any number of times.

I’m linking to Tom’s Hardware explanation of USB 4. Everything they say here remains true. I hope this clears up the nonsense that USB 4 contained TB 3. As ive said before, it’s much more nuanced than that.

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/usb-4-faq,38766.html

now, Pocketlint, a website, came up with a later article, which happens to be wrong (they get a lot of things wrong), which states incorrectly, that all USB4 machines will automatically have TB 3. They may, and they may not.

interestedly, we don’t know yet if ARM based devices will even have USB4. Supposedly they can. But TB is still an x86 implementation. Will Intel bring it to ARM? Maybe, maybe not.

You see, it’s the lack of thunderbolt that’s worries me. I know some will say that it’s “just” a developer machine. But that doesn’t explain it. Thunderbolt is part of the PCIe bus. But it’s also an Intel product. It’s the same problem we have with the iPad Pro not having it. I’m sure that I’m not the only iPad Pro user that badly wants this.

if Apple can’t get thunderbolt on ARM Macs, that will be a big problem.

They could skip to USB4 which can do Thunderbolt anyway.

USB 4 doesn’t not automatically do thunderbolt. That’s a misunderstanding that a few writers have confused people about.

"This works with any Intel Mac app" [quoted from the article, regarding Rosetta 2]

Are you sure? Does that include Parallels running x86-64 Windows? It's quite telling that they mentioned Rosetta and virtualization, yet made no mention of this, which could alleviate concerns on many pro users' minds (myself included).

I doubt they meant that. But as Apple has said, only 2% of Macs coming in for service had Windows installed in Bootcamp. How many are using Parallels or other virtualization software with Windows, I don’t know, but it’s not a lot. I have it too, but I haven’t run Windows for more than a year. I still do Run Linux occasionally though. So likely, from what I hear, that’s more important.

i doubt I’d too many pro users use Windows on their Mac these days. It’s mostly used by gamers.
