  • M5 iPad Pro is in testing ahead of a late 2025 release

    keithw said:
    The problem with iPad Pros has never been the hardware.  It's the software.  Release MacOS for it and let people decide if they want to run MacOS or iPadOS on it.  Problem is, the iPads don't have a lot of RAM.

    Nothing wrong with the software on a M4 iPad Pro, a user of Pro iPads, I didn’t buy it to run full MacOS that is what the Mac Studio is for, the only thing Apple should continue to do is improve the integration between the Mac, iPhone, and iPad, the file management system is the only major thing that needs improving on the iPad OS, but running full Mac OS that’s a waste of resources it’s like redesigning MacOS to have a touchscreen which would be another colossal waste of resources isn’t it enough that Microsoft has failed in that endeavor with the Surface computers?

    There are other choices in the greater marketplace a Samsung Android tablet might be a solution I keep hearing from the geek crowd that they can do magic.

  • Work starts on Apple M6 chip with modems for future Macs

    one potential issue/question that I haven't seen answered is how much Apple is paying in patent royalties to QC for their C1 modem. Given QC's cellular patent portfolio it's unlikely Apple could produce a competitive modem without licensing at least some patents. Even if they're covered under FRAND there's still a 'reasonable' fee. If Apple were to put the modem in every MBP then they would likely have to pay a fee for each device, unless they could somehow get an agreement to only pay for the modems in use.

    The Patent Troll known as Qualcomm will be suing, no matter what….. preordained.

    Apple will be Qualcomm’s nightmare because Apple isn’t looking to just stand still and collect toll fees. The C1 modem is just a beach head the C2, C3, C4‘s will be even better and more importantly with new Apple devices coming up will have functionalities that Qualcomm, similar the ghosts of tech past like Kodak, Xerox, IBM, Motorola of Schaumburg, Illinois or Intel who also didn’t want to move forward. 

    In short Apple will step up and iterate into the future at a pace most don’t want to do, if it wasn’t for Qualcomm buying out Nuvia they would be lost in the wilderness when it comes to Arm SOC’s, their team up with Microsoft has been a fiasco so far not completely their fault because their partner Microsoft doesn’t feel any sense of urgency.

    I want an M6 Mac Studio Ultra... drool.

    That would be 768 gigs with bandwidth over 1000 operating at 160 Watts for everything CPU, GPU, and modem….

    The M6 Mac Studio Ultra would land at the third spot on the current Blender list.

    Which brings up another point the excuses made by the so-called AAA gaming industry or the greater Cad industry for their lack of Mac support that time is coming to an end hardware wise in a big way.

  • EU antitrust agency may not fine Apple much to avoid tariff war escalation

    Voters in the U.S. aren't going to care what Apple's fine turns out to be in the EU. They thought Trump might produce a better economy with lower prices and more job opportunities but that's not turning out to be the case. It's just the usual "austerity for thee but not for me" nonsense of the billionaire class. 
    Did Trump says his a magician?? The economy had been battered, $36 T US owed…..sooner will be insolvents….the loudest complainer are the fraudster. Wahhhh I can’t steal anymore wahhhh
    Yes he did. To a different audience everyday the story/lie changes like a used car salesman....

    Wow…..this is Apple insider not CNN guys.
    get over it and let’s discuss about Apple not politics.

    Donald Trump, EU, Justice Department various countries around the world and Elon Musk make so at times. (the latest today Turkey)
