  • Initial 2018 MacBook Air benchmarks show modest improvement over 2017 MacBook

    The new Macbook Air is not very compelling honestly. As the Zone of Tech guy pointed out, it's only a little bit more for the 13" Macbook Pro which is better on nearly every metric.
    Seeing these benchmarks I really don’t get the point of this machine now. All the reasons people were buying the older model (price, ports, keyboard, MagSafe) are missing. I guess buy this over the nTB MBP if you must have Touch ID? Is the nTB MBP that much heavier?

  • Apple will no longer report iPhone, Mac and iPad unit sales

    Makes sense. Growth is slowing and none of Apple’s compeitiors provide unit sales. Wall Street hates it though. Stock down 7%.

  • New iPad Pro benchmarks are very close to the 2018 15-inch MacBook Pro

    So that means Logic, Final Cut and Xcode are coming to iPad?
    Logic Pro coming out for iOS would mean instant buy for me.  I already have the dongles for an MBP USB-C for all the audio gear, I'd assume even with the restrictive file transfer with iOS, thanks to USB-C files would be easily shared with other Macs on the LAN or WAN easily enough and offloaded to free up space.
    I wonder if an app like Pro Tools would ever come to iPad. Or Premier.
    I suspect they will.  This thing is a beast.  File transfer with iOS is obviously different but app developers can deal with that.
    Apple should allow external drives to show up in the files app.

  • Apple's new 11- & 12.9-inch iPad Pros sport a massive redesign and gain Face ID, USB-C

    Supplying power to the iPad Pros is an 18-Watt USB-C adapter, one that Apple was previously rumored to be working on, but doesn't appear to be available separately from the devices. Battery life is rated at 10 hours for both models.

    Well, the 18W charger has come to pass. I am really scratching my head at the recently released 30W now. So their line-up is 5W with all iPhones, 12W with iPads (and presumably continuing with the previously released Pro models), 18W for the new Pros, and a 30W for people who, what, want to shell out $50 for the slight decrease in charging time vs the 18W for Pros.
    I have to think that eventually the 18W will be available for sale separately, so I’m not sure who else the market for the 30W could be for because if an iPhone user wants to buy up to the faster charging, wouldn’t he buy the 18W? Maybe other iPad users (particularly of the older Pro models) would buy it as replacements since there probably won’t be a big price difference from the 18W to the 30W, but that still doesn’t seem like such a big market.
    What does the new MBA ship with?

    According to Steve Troughton-Smith the 1TB Pro has 6GB RAM all other configs have 4GB. Has Apple adjusted the RAM in iOS devices based on storage capacity before or is this new? Presumably all other specs are the same so if you want the most RAM possible but don’t need 1TB storage it will cost you an additional $400.
