Exclusive: every iPhone 16 & iPhone 16 Pro camera spec & Capture Button detail revealed
Other websites are reporting iPhone 16 Pro will get Sony's IMX903 sensor. A significant upgrade over the current sensor. It's about 12% larger but more importantly features Sony's stacked technology offering 50% better light capture.

Apple working out how to use Mac in parallel with iPhone or iPad to process big jobs
This is when I wish Apple never cancelled the AirPort. I feel like that would have been the perfect home control device. Have it able to create a full backup of iCloud and Time Machine of all devices on network, auto download updates for all devices for faster installs, and now being able to offload a lot of processes for Apple Intelligence or other intensive tasks.
It would even make dumb devices like Apple HomePod capable of using Apple Intelligence.
It was a great device just in its old basic form. I miss that thing.

macOS 15 will get a big AI boost: what to expect at WWDC 2024
Think of this like when we first got widgets on iOS. It was going to be so cool to finally have apps offer widgets only to find out they were extremely limited and you couldn't even really interact with them. This will be AI on the OS' for the foreseeable future. Just a tease for many many years.michelb76 said:Expectations are sky-high now, this can only go wrong lol -
Apple Vision Pro is motivating a giant California health provider
Gen Z and below might be OK talking to a doctor wearing a Vision Pro but I can tell you right now most baby boomers and older will probably smack you in the head if you try to talk to them wearing some headset. -
M3 Ultra Mac Studio rumored to debut in mid-2024 -- without a Mac Pro
Not supporting a GPU or RAM expansion via PCI felt like a slap to animators and other professionals who require that. If you don't support those things what's the point of spending $3K more for a tower to plug your video card into? Just buy the Studio and use Thunderbolt. If Apple doesn't bring more PCI support in future chips there is literally no reason for the MacPro, not to say there is one now.rob53 said:
I don't see why not. I don't see it using a "standard" PCI interface although the Mac Pro uses the (almost) newest PCIe Gen4 x16 and x8 slots. I could see a much faster PCIe interface or something like an extension of the unified memory architecture to an external box allowing the might speed possible to multiple PCIe cards. I know some people want everything in one box but splitting that box into two might be a better choice for those professionals who want to tune their system to their specific needs. An M3 Ultra CPU "box" (Mac Studio) might be enough to serve as a standalone device for semi-professionals (not going to start a rant on who is semi and who is a full professional) as well as the back engine for full professionals needing high-end PCIe boards for specific tasks (animation, video, sound, movies, scientific processes requiring a supercomputer). Everything is getting smaller and working in clusters so starting with a 7.7" x 7.7" x 3.7" tiny box instead of a 8.58" x 17.7" x 20.8 behemoth weighing 37.2 lbs without any PCIe cards installed makes a huge difference in a computer/server room. I would like to see Apple offer clustering software along with the addition of one of the fastest computer interfaces ( PCIe6 x16 968-Gbps, NVLink 2.0 1.2Tbps, or even a very expensive Infinity Fabric 4.096 Tbps) would provide an amazingly fast Mac cluster capable of competing with just about any specialized, much more expensive mainframe level cluster system. Something in between would be much nicer than keeping the Mac Pro form factor.maury markowitz said:
Could this not be addressed with a working external PCI expansion system?hypoluxa said:I can't see them (yet) removing the MacPro from their roster. The PCI expansion slots are a niche market for some Pro users who use them, they still have a customer market for it albeit a shrinking one.
