Apple please bring the 3nm chip to the Apple watch. It will double its battery life!

Pretty sure the SoC is already power efficient, it's the combo of radio, heart rate monitoring, and display that drain the most out of the battery. 





 

Ok, let's see, it's showing that line at startup but as soon as the Home Screen appears, it's gone? 

hardly a pressing issue. 

So glad I don't have issues but I got plenty of complaints about Apple's inferior implementation of smart home automation.

I keep imagining a Mac Pro as a desktop version of a Cray 1 super computer. The CPU modules would have an edge connector that plugs into a network that connects all the cpu modules in the center as a loop. In the seat, would be hard drives, power supplies and external signal connections, USB, Thunderbolt and video. The idea of the ring in the center is to reduce space between cpu modules for signal quality. 

I marvel that our iPhone 14 is 5,000 times faster than 5,500 lb Cray-2.

It could be for iMac Pro, not Mac Pro yet. 

Also, remember that we had COVID pandemic shutdown causing a significant turnover with employees in many tech companies during that time - the effects of shutdowns are often not felt until a couple of years later. And now we're already seeing the effects.
 
Another consideration is that we have reduced our dependence on China and that means the age of cheap and quick consumerism is fading. 
 
Also, why do we really need Apple computers for high end computing workstations which often have only a specific purpose? It just makes no economic sense. If consumers need 512GB of RAM, then they would just use a customized PC and that's gonna work just fine - pretty sure for every Mac app built for that, there is also a Windows app. It's not like they cannot do that. They can. They're called pros for a reason.
