  • Facebook freezes hiring, blames iOS changes for reduced revenue growth

    Facebook is so full of shh, making billions off of iOS users. Without sharing any of the revenue. We are the product. What a privacy nightmare.

  • Teardown of Apple's new & long Thunderbolt 4 Pro Cable highlights why it's so expensive

    hackintoisierhackintoisier
    Anyone know if this expensive cable enables a m1-based Mac to directly connect to an m1-based iPad Pro? Cheaper thunderbolt 3/4 or USB4 cables result in a failed connection between the two Apple devices.

  • Johny Srouji says the Apple Silicon strategy challenged Apple

    Out of all the desktop/laptop OEMs out there Apple was the only one with the balls to strike out on its own. As the article points, with tremendous risk and challenges. The rest remain locked down to whatever Intel or AMD does or does not have to offer. But since the debut of the M1 suddenly other OEMs are investigating producing their own SOCs.

    One thing is certain for those of us who keep riding the Apple log flume, it’s a thrilling ride and you never know what’s around the corner, just like an Indiana Jones movie.
    Apple is unique in that its the only laptop vendor that has its own operating system. And that is the singular reason why Apple could ditch x86 and continue to be relevant. I’m sure Asus, HP and others would probably want to use another chip architecture besides x86 to diversify their portfolios.  But there’s not a merchant ARM vendor out there with high performance CPUs in terms of rivaling AMD and Intel for the client market. 

    The quintessential question is if they adopted ARM or another chip architecture, what OS would they run? What productivity apps would they run? What gaming apps would they run?

    A large part of the reason why Intel and AMD continue to remain dominant is because of Microsoft’s dominance, especially in enterprise. Even when NVidia and Qualcomm unleash ARM chips into the ecosystem, those chips will have to run windows (on arm) to be of any relevance. If they don’t run windows and key windows apps well, no one will want to buy them. 

    So Apple definitely has to be respected for its engineering prowess in designing and brining Apple silicon to market. But apple is unique in that it controls an OS and has the power to enable apple silicon to run the apps that people need. So it’s more than just balls to move on, it’s also controlling the software stack as well, something the competition cannot do very easily.

    Greed. Doesn’t pay to be greedy.
