  • Apple prepares 12.9-inch iPad Air for early 2024 launch

    …I do think the iPP models have go up in size, and change aspect ratio to differentiate even further, and more obviously. Say 5:4 aspect ratio at 11.5” and 14”.
    I’m not a fan of the current 12.9” aspect ratio. I much prefer the 11” layout. I’d love to see that ratio as a 13”.

  • Apple confirms that there is no Apple Silicon 27-inch iMac in the works

    I loved my iMac Pro. It was a stopgap til the Mac Pro could be resurrected, but I also feel many users appreciated the single chassis solution the iMac Pro offered. And the performance was solid. Today I have a Mac Studio M1 Ultra connected to two monitors: a widescreen LG and a 16:9 Asus. I’ve got good desktop real estate because I can put the Studio pushed away, but I really miss that 5K display. It’s a shame Apple killed Target Display mode, I’d bet many an iMac Pro (or standard) user would have just purchased the Studio head instead…so yeah, they had to kill the Target Display. :-(

  • New 14-inch & 16-inch MacBook Pro sport M3, and come in black

    AniMillAniMill
    Wow. Maxed out (pun intended) 16” comes in at $7200. 😳 But, a well configured 14” (16 core, 64GB, 4TB) at $4900. That is a solid desktop replacement machine with incredible portability.

    as for iMac, no Pro love. That should have been an extra +moment for the event. Shame, missed opportunity. But then, they really want to push the MacStudio & Studio Display combo for pro desktop.

    It really feels like foolish to buy a Mac Studio M2 Max/Ultra right now. An M2 Max system comes to $3800…and slower than the M3 14” MBP spec’ed above.

  • Tim Cook calls spatial computing in Apple Vision Pro an 'aha moment' in a user's life

    Wow. I’d never had believed I’d ever see a The Jerk reference in an Apple blog.

    I wonder, is the Apple VR Cook’s Newton?

  • Apple's new iCloud+ tiers are too much for consumers, too little for professionals

    AniMillAniMill
    Conspiracy theorists here: Live Photo is a scam to use up iCloud storage. I, and many friends and family, see no use of this option - and we detest it can’t be forced off…only temporarily disabled. But it always somehow turns itself back on. Texts take longer to send because of it, and it chews up data. I hate it. Please Apple, just give us a OFF.
