Apple confirms that there is no Apple Silicon 27-inch iMac in the works
The death of target display mode, combined with Apple's choice to use high-end panels in all their displays, means there is no way a 27" imac makes sense at any plausible price point. A Mac Mini with external monitor just makes more sense.

iLeakage attack resurrects Spectre with password and website data extraction
iLeakage is an exploit against a flaw in WebKit. Spectre is a class of exploits against Intel (and AMD) CPUs and their branch prediction functionality, irrespective of what software is being run on those CPUs. I am super confused by the conflation of Spectre with iLeakage here.

France's iPhone 12 modem power testing was radically different than the standard
Just to recap, the "radically different" testing procedure in France is actually the exact same test, but measured at 0mm instead of the 5mm used everywhere else.

Mac Pro in danger after fumbled Apple Silicon launch
Who would want to own an expensive Mac Server when AWS Graviton is *right there*? Apple's product is distinguished as a user device, and that's where they can justify a price premium.commentzilla said:I think they should abandon the Mac Pro and revive the Mac Server with drive trays, slots for IO and redundancy. That would sell considering the power efficiency of the M series chips.

Apple buys Foxconn servers for testing its AI services
Even ignoring cost, totally wrong quantity of CPU cores and RAM for a modern server in 2023. Intel or AMD CPUs main processors running linux are much more likely, with specialized hardware for ML processing.blastdoor said:So I wonder what the hardware specs are for those servers. Are these Intel/AMD CPUs with Nvidia GPUs running Linux? Or are they some kind of custom ASi-based servers running macOS?
It would be cool if they packed a bunch M2 Mac mini mainboards together in a box or some such. But I wonder how likely that is...
