Apple Vision Pro has 16GB of memory, potentially 1TB of storage
If Apple offers a 1TB option, they charge 4x the industry standard for 1TB of storage, so now you are looking at $4,000 to run iPadOS apps.
Apple really needs to stop with their extortion tactics for memory and SSD prices. It was better when you could upgrade memory and storage on your own, because no one bought the Apple upgrades. Similar to the printer market in which the ink cartridges sometimes cost more than the actual printer. Now Apple has the consumer over the barrel and they know it and charge ridiculous prices. -

it is best to begin from the top… and then easily go down… than begin from the bottom and then try build upon a clunky design. See Quest. (Tesla copied this business model!)
And the Apple Watch 1st Edition was $10,000 for the 14K gold model. It was not reduced 90%. Nubus has no clue what they are talking about. -

Big changes expected for iPad family in 2024
How are there big changes when Gurman has no idea? 'A revamp, but no mention of what that entails'. Typical Gurman response.
They can do whatever hardware changes they want, it still runs iPadOS and baby iPad apps, so the base model and the iPad Pro both do the exact same thing, with similar performance. Neither can take full advantage of the SoC. The only real revamp was in 2018. Since then, each new iPad has been exactly like the previous one. So they are going to waste M3 chips in an iPad when they should be using them in the rest of the Mac lineup. Same reviews each year, great hardware, but limited by the OS.
Apple needs to scrap iPadOS and just put macOS on the iPad since the hardware is now the same. -
Despite what you may have heard, don't write off the iMac just yet
StrangeDays said:Apple: here’s a two-year-young new form factor, now with the latest, fastest chipset. Enjoy!
Fans: Nooo! Why have you neglected this 40-year-old product line! Gaaahhhh!
It doesn't have the latest, fastest chipset. It has a base model chip with a lousy GPU, limited RAM, limited storage, and limited ports. It even has a lame audio out on the side so your powered speakers plug into the side with a cable sticking out. Thanks Jony Ive for your lousy design. Yes, this was his last artistic mess before he left. If he had his way, it would have a butterfly keyboard too.
How about an iMac 27" with an M3 Pro or M3 Max? If the thin MacBooks can handle the CPU, then the iMac can also handle it quite well, even better with the larger interior for even better cooling. Then you would have an iMac with the fastest chipset. The colors and white bezel are ghastly to look at, and 24" is too small when most people bought the 27" iMac.
