  • European consumer groups demand Apple explain iOS 14 battery drain

    Just wait till Appke has to add on device antivirus, etc to allow other app stores. Apple will still get the blame.

  • iPad mini 6 set for fall launch, bigger M1 iMac on the way

    I came in to see people complain about larger iMacs using the same CPU, then saw the article go against the title and say it won’t be the M1. As no one but Apple knows their numbering scheme, can we go with ASi for Apple Silicon Macs?

  • Intel Macs can't run Windows 11 without this workaround

    Many of us bought Macs with the intent of also using them to run Windows.  I am one of them, and know many that can't divorce Windows entirely.  That Macs could run Windows was key for me buying my first Mac back in 2008.  I even bought a new 2020 iMac knowing this will most likely be my last Intel machine, and can run Windows for many years to come until both ASi Macs, and maybe even Windows ARM will have been fully baked when I'm ready to get another new Mac.
    Of the 20 million Macs that sell a year, if over 2 million of those ever see bootcamp I would be shocked. Of those at most 2 million yearly that are now without bootcamp, most will just get an HP or Lenovo desktop - one with a recent Intel Core i5 and an Nvidia or AMD GPU can cost as little as $500 so not that big of a deal - to complement their primary Mac device. Of the very few remaining that will actually ditch macOS completely over this, they will be replaced several times over by the new customers that Apple Silicon will attract. So they will sell more Macs and will be able to redeploy the programmers responsible for bootcamp to much better tasks. No downside to this for Apple.

    Apple didn't get where it is by caring only and exclusively about sales and profit.
    Quite the opposite really....

    There is no downside to Apple to enable Windows to run under Bootcamp.  None.
    Just ideological hubris.
    Bull. That means Apple has to spend time and money to enable Windows to work with the hardware. Drivers and stuff must work and Apple would have to do that work. There is no magic, nor is it free for Apple to do so. That is a downside.

    Where is the people complaining they can’t run Windows on their Intel Mac? I’ve said it before, but Windows on a Mac was always a side benefit.
