Could this post be marked as a rumour, please? The November 8 article was marked as a rumour; are there any facts supplied by the Korea Herald or is it simply more supposition and unsubstantiated claims?

Has there been any quantification if high power mode results in cooler running chips. Certainly more fan noise, but does that result in cooler running chips for at least the same performance? Then, any quantification of increased performance and for what ops?

From the article, it would appear that the chips don't run cooler but are able to stay at the threshold temperature indefinitely. The OS will still intervene if the temperature gets too high but that should be a very rare event with the fans running at maximum speed. The feature is meant to prolong the time for which the chips can operate at maximum speed, not provide additional performance.

A stealth Apple Car returning to the mothership? :P

Seems crazy?

Is it really a strategic technology for computers? For cars, most certainly at this point in the EV adoption curve, but computers? Isn't a battery like the 3rd or 4th, or higher, most expensive part of mobile computer?

Display, SoC, cellular modem, then the battery?

Apple Vision Pro

When Amazon does something like this they'll often just say keep the extras because the shipping is more expensive than the product. Here's hoping.

I'm guessing the shipping costs were significantly less than $96k...
