    The pro has a fifth GPU core though.
    I am going to assume that this is the same piece of silicon used in the regular iPhone 13 and that the fifth GPU core in the Pro is activated through a firmware modification.

    Anyone know differently?

    Smells of classic market manipulation, a dump then pump of the stock price all within 24 hours.  Would love to see reporters follow the money on this.

    I am disappointed that Apple didn’t do TouchId under Display.   Obviously their execs have been sble to stay home and order everything via UberEats, etc., and didn’t have to re-enter their PassCode like regular people too often.
    All signs have pointed to that tech not being ready yet. It's not like they had the ability and chose not to.

    I like the Touch ID on the power button better than on a screen, which Apple has already done.  I’m not understanding what the need is for touch ID on a screen anyway.  What does it get you?

    The iPhone Pros are amazing feats of engineering and product design. They also define a new standard for functional overkill for 95% of smartphone buyers. That's not to say that it's a problem for Apple to have a product that is as close to "no compromise" (other than weight and size) as one could ever hope for. They can afford to build it, there is a active market for it, and they have plenty of other options in their portfolio. If the iPhone was pizza, the Pro Max would be Pantera's "The Hunk" pizza with its 5 1/2 pounds of toppings. 
    The pizza you describe as comparable to iphone pro max is simply disgusting. Please respect the feelings (and knowledge) of the italian people.
    While early versions of pizza can be traced to Italy and especially France, where tomato and cheese on top of bread were staples of the poor, the modern version of pizza we all know and love (or hate) originated in the US.  Gli italiani non capiscono la pizza!

    This is going to dribble along for another decade until it finally fades away producing nothing. It’s become someone’s vanity project. 
    IMO it’s Cook’s primary legacy, with AppleTV+ as a backup. I don’t believe Apple can set up a manufacturing facility for cars when they have little actual manufacturing experience themselves. They got out of that game in the early 90’s. It took Tesla 10 years to get manufacturing right, and even then it’s not to Apple standards. 
    Cook's primary legacy will be AR glasses, not a car.  To boot, he's spent a heck of a lot more time hyping AR than he has cars.  I believe he's reportedly even hinted at retiring after an AR product is released (but maybe that was just another rumor).
    My two cents is that Cook’s legacy is already here - Apple Watch.  It is in the process of revolutionizing health care and will have an even more profound impact as time goes on. From personal diagnostics to preventative maintenance, Apple Watch might be the instrument that puts a couple more years on average life expectancy than anything else in the last few decades.  That’s a pretty good legacy IMO.
