  • Apple CEO Tim Cook to appear on 'Good Morning America,' says AirPods stay put during exercise

    jumpcutterjumpcutter
    I am sorry but I do not believe a word Tim Cook says. Those AirPods appear to have the same shape as the EarPods. The EarPods do not fit in my ear securely. It pops out all the time without help from snagging cords. Once again, to improve their margins, all Apple did was recycle the EarPod design without the wires. $159 for those AirPods is insane. They should be free. Apple is forcing this change on us.  All I  will be seeing in the future is people walking around with one AirPod in their ear looking for the other AirPod like we look for our missing sock, Nothing innovative here.

    Your post makes no fucking sense whatsoever. Both your Mac Pro and Macbook Pro have been updated many times since 2008. But, because they weren't arbitrarily updated again at this event (which is a software and developer event, no one expected hew hardware) you may "have to go to a PC"? What the fuck? In 8 years, you saw no reason to update your Macbook Pro even though its been updated like 8 times in that timeframe, the new models are infinitely better than yours - yet you now suddenly you "have to" switch to Windows? Please, do that and spare us your asinine, mindless trolling. 

    Oh, and Apple has no obligation to support your ancient devices  for its newest software, and you have no rational reason to expect it. You have gotten almost a decade of free OSX updates since your purchased your computers (8 years of updates), your sense entitlement is pathetically childish and utterly unreasonable. So please, switch to Windows 10, no doubt Microsoft and some random PC will meet your ludicrous and irrational standards. 
    I don't believe for a second his story that he was holding off switching to a new Windows 10 PC because of the prospect of running Sierra on an 8-year-old Mac. Why is upgrading to a new Mac to run Sierra off the table as an option?
    Yeah, running Sierra has nothing to do wiling.  I was hoping for a new Mac computer which has not been partially updated like the last 2 updates of MBP or even the iMacs updates. Everything is a mess with Apple's computer line up.

  • Apple reveals macOS Sierra hardware compatibility list

    Following Worldwide Developers Conference keynote on Monday, Apple posted details about the upcoming macOS Sierra release to its official webpage, noting hardware support going back to the 2009 model year.




    While not yet posted to the macOS preview webpage, a slide presented by SVP of Software Engineering Craig Federighi during today's keynote reveals Sierra's hardware operating requirements. When it launches this fall, the next-generation macOS will boast compatibility with:

    2009 and later

    • MacBook
    • iMac

    2010 and later

    • MacBook Air
    • MacBook Pro
    • Mac mini
    • Mac Pro

    The newly rebranded macOS comes with a host of new features, not the least of which being integration with Apple's Siri virtual assistant. Previously restricted to iOS devices, Siri on Mac is expected to shift the paradigm of voice control on desktop with support for messaging, file and web searches, Notifications, system status and much more.

    Other enhancements include a new file system built for modern computer equipment, rich Messages, Photos app buffs, Apple Pay for the web and auto unlock via Apple Watch, among numerous under the hood improvements.

    Apple earlier today published a similar compatibility list for iOS 10, the next-generation mobile operating system set to debut this fall. As it stands, iOS 10 can run on hardware powered by second revision A5 system-on-chip silicon, which for iPhone means iPhone 5 and newer. For iPad, Apple is extending support to A5X and newer devices, starting with iPad 2.

    Developers can download both macOS Sierra and iOS 10 today, while a public beta is due for release in July.
    Thanks Apple. Both of my Mac's (2008 Mac Pro and 2008 Macbook Pro) can not use this software. I guess since no hardware updates were announced that I may have to go to a PC and use Windows 10. I will never understand a computer company that does not update their equipment on a regular basis. I am really disappointed with Apple and their lack of motivation.

    i do not understand this thinnest craze Apple has been on for the computer line up. Many years ago, Steve Jobs started the thinnest craze because he liked the Sony VAIO notebooks design. Today, that craze is out of date. What Apple has done is use that thinnest mandate into creating laptops that the customer can not upgrade (the RAM, Hard Drives or battery) when and if needed. This makes it easier for Apple to manufacture these laptops and really overcharge the customer for those components I listed earlier. Apple has also eliminated the internal optical drive and ethernet port because of the thinnest craze. As a matter of fact, I think Sony is not making computers anymore or at least I have not seen one in a long time. If I am going to spend 2 to 3 thousand dollars on a laptop, I should get what I want not what Apple dictates.
