New Mac Pro may not support PCI-E GPUs
The Mac Studio is the spiritual successor to the Mac trash canravnorodom said:So much for modular design and now back to square one. This is going to be Mac trash can, the 2013 Mac Pro, all over again. Oh brother.

M2 Mac mini review roundup: Tiny, but mighty
A 27" 5K iMac with the M2 Pro would be my dream Mac.bill42 said:Upping the specs to mid level to match how I always buy new Macs, this Mac Mini alone would cost about $2000, and that's without a monitor. As an Apple snob who has not purchased a non-apple screen since my 21 inch Sony CRT for my 840AV back in 1991, I would want to buy an Apple screen. All we have available is a Studio Display starting at $1600. I would prefer an iMac like my current 27" iMac from 2012, but the only iMacs available today have a screen just a bit too small for my taste. I really wish Apple would just make a new 27 or 30" iMac. It would be half the price of a Mac Mini with Studio Display, and it would sell like mad, just like the old 27" iMacs did when they dominated the graphics world.

iPhone 15 Pro rumored to get Thunderbolt connectivity
Are you referring to this:lkrupp said:
Yes, absolutely, it’s the so-called power users that are ruining it for the majority of us. I read an opinion piece the other day lamenting how the iPad has been ruined by the constant drumbeat to turn it into a touch-screen Mac, even demanding it run macOS. Steve Jobs introduced it as a device for media consumption and casual web browsing, email. Almost immediately the power users started in on it and look at it today, a complicated mess that the casual user finds anathema. Split-screen, multi-user, multi-tasking, all features you don’t need while watching a movie on your flight to grandma’s house. And at the prices you might just as well buy a MacBook Air and be done with it.virgilisleading42 said:This rumor seems highly unlikely. Very few people use a cable to transfer anything from a phone. They really only use lighting or usb-c for charging. It seems like an expanse that is only needed by such a small minority of users. It seems more likely that iPhone 15 goes completely wireless charging.
That said, devices that support touch-screen and Pencils shouldn't just be relegated to mass market devices. Power users enjoy those features as well. I realize this is an Apple-focused form but that's one of the things I enjoy about Win11 => it can adapt to multiple form factors (tablet, laptop, desktop) and multiple input devices (touch, stylus, KB, mouse, trackpad). All a user has to do is choose the form factor and features that suit them the best. And if they happen to choose multiple devices no loss of functionality occurs from one device to the next. -

Apple rumored to be testing macOS for M2 iPad Pro
At this point, I'm not convinced even those in charge of the iPad within Apple know what the iPad is and should be.CheeseFreeze said:
The fact that you could doesn’t mean you should. It will confuse the heck out of the customer in respect to what the iPad is and should be. It will be a compromise operating system competing with macOS and iPadOS.charlesatlas said:I can actually believe it. These iPad Pros have as much RAM and storage as my 2015 MBP, along with a faster processor, so there's no reason they can't run Mac OS.The fact an M2 can run macOS isn’t relevant. That’s just technology. This is about product.
