  • Early 2021 Apple Silicon iMac said to have 'A14T' processor

    Quick question from a dummy.

    as I understand it, the intel chips i3, i5, i7, i9 are essentially the same chip; with the “lower grade” chips “simply” being the ones which have tested with flaws or underperforming/cores not functioning. 

    Is this true, and if so, it would stand to reason that the Apple chips face similar production yields. With Apple’s insane volumes, how does this play out in terms of what is shipped in iPhones and now Macs?

    Though not "death by a thousand cuts," the concessions made by Apple makes the iPhones feel "the least inventive."


    I’m sorry what?

    Yes, remember the good old days when you dropped your phone and the back plate and battery flew off in different directions. It was always fun trying to retrieve them in crowded spaces like airports and hope no one stepped it and broke it.

    Or just plain broke when the clip snapped off in on impact. Duct tape to the rescue!

    Less inventive? That doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. The MagSafe system is not inventive? Adding 5G and various features in the same package is not inventive? Protective front glass is not inventive?  If they think there is a problem with the internal design, they should say so.  


    Effing LIDAR?!

    I am not a lawyer, but I haven’t seen one of their arguments yet where I’m even remotely like “oh ok, yeah, I kinda see their point”. as another commenter noted; are they even trying to win? How could they possibly think they will?

    Ive was the one who tended to get the credit, but Jobs was the one making all the decisions on design. Good riddance. 
    Jobs decided what design of Ive's made the cut.  If Jobs didn't like a design, Ive would redesign it to facilitate the change.  Nothing wrong with that.  Not sure why the hate.
    Exactly. Design isn’t one way. It’s a back and forth. It’s twisted around and shaped to perfection over time with many, many people involved. To think it was one guy saying “do it this way!” and then out it popped, is pretty out of touch.
    LOL. I’m getting notes from people here about how the design process works. That’s hilarious.

    I’m an industrial designer. I’m somewhat qualified to speak on the design process.

    Wasn’t trying to imply that SJ had no input or didn’t have good ideas, but it’s not like he was cranking out Rhino models or submitting .ai files. 
    Jony Ive got his assignments from Steve. Steve typically came up with the ideas and then culled from a mountain of options. It wasn’t Jony choosing from the designs, it was Jobs. And since Tim Cook has none of the background of Jobs he didn’t fill the role after Jobs died. I think Jony Ive was a rudderless ship at that point and that led up to him leaving Apple.
    V cool you were there to witness all that. 

    Edit: and what you said didn’t exactly contradict my point.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
