  • Apple's mmWave C1 modem won't launch until 2026

    The analyst implies that Apple is working on an updated C1 modem rather than a C2. Other sources have claimed that a C2 is already in development, but again that's a prediction on a par with night following day. 
    Both could be true. C1.5 for later this year and a C2 for next year.
    So a C1pro for market with any sort of mmWave rollout and C2 and C2pro late next year

    $2,000 more for a slower Mac for the majority of tasks.  Great job Apple.  Same stupidity as the $3,000 price hike for a Mac Pro that has very few cards that work in it.  
    If you have a single thread bound workflow why you even buying a studio over a mini?
    or a macbookpro. 

    These machines are for people whose workflows aren’t constrained like that. That is why they buy machines like this or rack a dozen minis into a small cluster or both.

    Commonwealth Day is being celebrated for the first time in forever just as the well... Commonwealth country is threatened with invasion by a neighbour. 

    Is that a low-key bit of old Apple / Beats rebellious sprite showing?

  • Mac Studio gets an update to M4 Max or M3 Ultra

    This is the one I've been waiting for to replace my 2020 iMac 5K which has been glitching lately playing YouTube videos and consuming 100% CPU.

    Getting this with a Studio Display, 64 GB RAM, a fully loaded M4 Max, and 4 TB SSD so this is basically a slide-in replacement for my iMac.

    The Ultras have way more horsepower and multiprocessing than I need, and the faster M4 performance cores will make this the snappiest Mac yet for normal workloads.

    With 4 Thunderbolt 5 ports on the rear, the Studio Display will leave three each with a Thunderbolt controller behind it (unlike the 2020 iMac which shared a single controller between the two ports). A new keyboard will add TouchID support to speed security interruptions.

    This should be over 3x faster than my core-i9 iMac (which is still my daily driver due to its superior screen real estate), with six times faster graphics with hardware ray tracing - not to mention support for Apple Intelligence. The 2020 iMac will replace the old 2017 iMac 5K as the family computer (which no longer has current macOS support).

    Splitting up the processor and display will make for cheaper and smoother upgrades in the future too - though given the power of this new hardware it's hard to see needing upgrades much in the future.
    I know seeing a growing collection of amazing screens but under spec processors at my last job convinced me that everything had gotten to the point where only really the base iMac they now have is the only one that makes sense.

  • Tim Cook says Apple's DEI program may change in the future, but only if required by law

    This is exactly how all companies should have responded. It is so sad (and frightening) to watch so many companies crumble in the face of the new administration's absurdities. 

    Now if only Apple Maps hadn't caved on "Gulf of America" or at least had said "Gulf of America (Gulf of Mexico)". 
    Outside of America Apple maps still shows “Gulf of Mexico” and if you search for “Gulf of am” the top hit remains Gulf of Mexico.
