Apple supply chain readying for third quarter 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro release
dope_ahmine said:anome said:I'm a bit worried about the talk of SD and HDMI, as I personally think going all USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 was an improvement. I think, though, if they do go with a new MagSafe power connection, there may be potential to put these ports, plus Ethernet and some other stuff, on the power brick, as currently done for Ethernet on the new iMacs. Of course, I'm sure this will be very unpopular, but I'd rather see them do that than put more large, and structurally compromising holes in the side of the MBP's chassis.
Hell, they could put all ports on the brick, and just have the MagSafe on the MBP itself. I mean, that would be going a bit far, but it does improve the structural integrity of the unit.As the current arrangement does not offer IO without a 3rd party dock, you are not loosing anything but rather gaining a great addition when stationary.As for the IO options, adding a SD card is way too late and a micro sd slot maybe but a full size slot is old school tech. The HDMI would be okay, but just buy a usb-c to hdmi cable. It’s not like you don’t need the cable anyway.To me adding the micro sd card slot would be nice, but I would rather have 4-6 usb-c ports. For the love of the almighty, no freaking usb-a ports…just buy the new cable. A mag safe port could be okay but I always charge my MBP 15 via a slow usb-c on the go. So I would not use it as I hate carrying the brick. -

Who really uses an iPad that way most of the time? This is a horizontal device. FaceTime isn’t as useful because on the side, it doesn’t always work, because you hold it by the sides.For evidence of your belief is total crap, my are the Apple designed accessories designed for landscape mode?

US official calls Cook's idea to vote on iPhone 'preposterous'
Sorry but the “good book” so to speak doesn’t say they need any of this crap:
” The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of ...” enter amendment specific text.
It just says Citizens. So yes I should be able to vote online through a phone with verifiable information that I am a citizen. So my SSN and my driver’s license number should be enough.Almost all the BS this crony is spewing would be resolved in a few hours with the right app team. It is just more government overreach and desire to squash the masses. (Full disclosure, I am a guberment employee🤪)In my state we have voted exclusively by mail for years and years and years. The only verification is my signature on the envelope. It works here and it should work in all states.Voting is a constitutional right and the concept is entrained in our Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights. Our founding fathers created a system to prevent the republic from going through another government change by empowering us the right to vote for those who oversee us. That right, like other rights spelled out in the constitution, shall not be infringed.
So, New MacBooks say what? -
Retired leaker claims iMac with bigger screen is on the way
I hope they offer a 32” or 40” model. If not I am going to go to the Mini with that size of display. I use my Mac for things that real estate is needed (desired) and as a movie watching device. So 27” is the minimum and is small in comparison. My work setup is one 32” and one 40” 4K displays and it is perfect.
I agree that having a user accessible port for ram and a hard drive would be perfect. Maybe you have the AS unified memory and the user can offload the over burden to the user added ram instead of to the SSD? Then the user added ssd can be a M.2 with a socketed lightning slot, so I could use it for my data files or process files so I don’t have to use up my integrated SSD so fast. Right now I am doing the same with an external lightning 3 drive and while it works, I would love to keep the all in one aspect.
