  • New HomePod vs 2018 HomePod - compared

    nubusnubus
    Reissue a product that failed in the market years ago, remove 1/3 of the speakers, keep the price, make it incompatible with the previous version, use a 8 year old CPU, downgrade network to a 14 year old standard, keep Bluetooth 5.0, and launch after Christmas. Why?

  • Apple's muted 2023 hardware launches to include Mac Pro with fixed memory

    nubusnubus
    Why offer a Mac Pro if no modularity is left? Apple dropped support for eGPU and the new Mac Pro support will likely not support any Nvidia or AMD GPU. As a result memory, GPU, CPU will be decided when ordering. Will it be anything but a Studio with more internal storage and even more processing power?

    This is the least expensive iPad out there.  Not surprised Apple didn’t offer more features of USB-C. The target market for this device won’t even notice. Users who need more will buy a more advanced iPad. 
    Apple is not playing fair by selling the new iPad 10th gen (far more expensive than 9th gen) with connectivity matching the performance of a 22 year old standard dating back to the days of Pentium 4. It is planned obsolence calculated by a penny-pinching corporate financial department. Perhaps Apple should be required to inform users when using technologies dating more than 5 years back. In a country where even a bottle of water comes with an FDA nutrition label it seems reasonable.

  • Apple chose a bad year to launch expensive iPads that aren't compelling

    WiFi 6E would be a waste of resources and cost at this time. What is the market penetration of WiFi routers with 6E? Negligible, at best. What benefit would BT 5.3 give to the end user in an Apple TV? Is there a keyboard that won't work or headphones that won't pair?

    Why is WiFi 6E a waste? Urbanization and network congestion is the standard environment for an iPhone in most of the world. In schools, offices, and homes. WiFi 6E can deliver 2-3x more channels. Apple did introduce eSim before most carriers supported it. USB before devices were available. And the original "Airport" Wifi before anyone had a Wifi router.

    As for Bluetooth 5.3.This extends battery life and improves audio quality on AirPods Pro. Why introduce a 4K TV-box with mediocre wireless audio? Seems Apple decided to spend it all on A15 Bionic instead of improving network and audio.

    Oh, man. You sure took a lot of space to make your claim. I guess we’ll have to wait until apples next earnings call. 
    Apple isn't doing a full Nokia yet, but this is a terrible combination of greed and chaos.

    4K TV that would benefit from Wifi 6E is left without. iPad Pro 11 is still without mini-LED. 4K TV is stuck on Bluetooth 5.0. Pencil dongles is now a thing. The new MacBook Air M2 got 29% more expensive in Europe. With iPad 10th it seems to be +50%. 

    It does show us where Apple is heading. iPhone is the only platform without USB C. Wifi 6E will be part of MacBook Pro M2, but again... iPhone 14 Pro is left without. Bluetooth 5.3 is going to all devices making AirPods Max and HomePod mini candidates for updates. The home button will be removed from the next iPhone SE. M2... iPad Pro couldn't even support full speed for M1, and M2 won't improve on this making  3nm = M3 even more important.
