Fatman’s prediction: Apple will use Intel’s improved 7660 to replace the current 7560 in all new 2019 models. Qualcomm chips will be back for all phones 2020-2021, Apple will then give Qualcomm a single finger salute when it rolls out its own chip for use in 2022 models and beyond.

I would like Apple to do the same, however the market is small for those that 1. Have high quality speakers to reproduce hi def audio 2. Can actually hear the difference. Furthermore it always gets back to the source recording - many albums were not mastered at a resolution where delivering music on formats higher than CD will even make a difference. My guess is that Apple has been analyzing and will only put out a product if there is 1. Demand for it, and 2. They can make a profit. This may change when super speed 5G is ubiquitous many years from now, and the additional data needed for hires audio won’t have a meaningful impact.

Did Malwarebytes (a product I use for Windows and more recently Mac) change their definition of what adware is - which makes results look inflated?

The Chinese government lost a week of data.

I cannot reveal my source, but I am absolutely certain these numbers are not correct.
