  • YouTuber shows off hardware hack to replace soldered MacBook storage

    It just shows that Apple can make it possible for end users  to upgrade the ssd themselves if Apple made the ssd swappable as shown in the video. Just solder the base connector but leave the slots accessible
    Yes, but ... we are talking about an incredibly small percentage of MacBook owners that would even bother to ever open their machine, ever. Sub-two percent, if even that. So even of the storage slots were removable, which I fully agree would be great, Apple would likely charge to do this work for you as an out-of-warranty repair, and make the storage modules otherwise unobtainable to the public.

    It's SUPER easy to do some real damage to your investment if you open up your Mac and don't feel fully confident that you know what you're doing, even for an "easy" upgrade like that.

    All that said, I wish Apple would change that design to allow for storage upgrades, and charge for doing that that work for you.
    Makes me wonder why we haven’t seen a company push a chip package slot?
    like an m.2 slot but no carrier board not unlike the new flat pack memory standard that is becoming common in PC land.

  • Trump says Tim Cook complained to him about the EU

    Wow..
    9 days of an unverified claim. 
    A lot of words, yet still no evidence the call happened at all let alone as claimed.
    There is not a lot of actual journalism anywhere on the web.
    No one seems to have even asked Apple or Tim Cook to comment.
    Just take the easy path and repeat, repeat, repeat.

  • Apple severely cuts Vision Pro production, and may stop it completely very soon

    Not surprised by the stoppage. Look at the other jumps between first gen to second gen of Apple products.

  • Apple is readied for an entire week of M4 Mac announcements

    A lot of these upgrades are tipped off by code mentions in beta versions of the operating system. Not sure why anyone is expecting any products with the Ultra SoC next week.

    Perhaps the Max is possible given that the MacBook Pro is typically offered in the vanilla, Pro, and Max variants. Or maybe just an announcement for the Max with actual availability at a later date.
    The ultra tiers could be announced now for December or January release given they are already Osborned by age and the M4's existence.
