    Not thrilled about the notch; everything else looks like a solid home run. 

    Only question - will this be a one kidney day, or two?
    Maxed out 16" model is cheaper than the previous maxed out 16".  SSD upgrades appear to be the same price.  As far as I can remember, RAM is same or similar.  Looks like only one kidney. ;)

    Can't wait to see what @darkvader and a couple of others have to say about how terrible and outdated the M1 Pro and M1 Max are. ;)

    There is an error above discussing the 16" laptop. My 2019 16" MacBook Pro has 64GB of 2666 MHz DDR4 memory, a 8TB SSD and AMDC Radeon Pro 5500M (top video card when ordered) for just over $6,000. It has the 2.4 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9 processor. Quite the machine in 2019.
    Mine too.  Exactly the same. Maxed out model at introduction before the 5600M GPU was added. 

    To Malcolm: great article, but this line is incorrect: 
    The existing 16-inch MacBook Pro has a 32GB RAM option, but not a 64GB model.

    If one does not like the Apple eco-system, buy Android instead.  No one, yet, is forced to buy any Apple product be it software, hardware or services. 
    The reverse doesn't work, "if you don't like Android buy iOS instead". 
    Why not?

    Guess what? If you don't like the terms of use, do NOT sign up.

    I'm so tired of the nanny state removing the responsibility from the user, who voluntarily signed up, for the user's poor decision making process. Read the agreement before joining. It is actually that simple.
    Great suggestion. Please suggest another cloud service we can use to back up all our data on our iPhones.
    Backblaze, Dropbox, etc.. Every time you perform a local backup in the privacy of your own drive, it syncs automatically to the cloud. As simple as plugging in to charge.
    No, iCloud is deeply integrated into iOS – no other cloud service has any chance to backup your settings neither you will be able to restore your iOS device from anything other than an iCloud or iTunes (or macOS Finder) backup.
    And there’s your answer. 

    Backup to iTunes/macOS Finder (which is baked into iOS and incidentally backs up more than the iCloud backup does) and those backup files can be backed up to the cloud via dropbox, Backblaze, etc. 

    Restore from there is just as easy as restoring from iCloud, and is in fact faster.
