Guys come on, quit playing Fox and the Grapes...

I am a 100% macFanBoy, have purchased over 100 apple product in my lifetime, since 1985!

If they don't get a Flip and/or Fold next year for the 2023, "iPhone 15"

That's that... Samsung kicked our ASS.  I am not gonna sit here in denial!

I had a Motorola Flip (2-3 of um) back in the day and it's NiiiCCCCEEEE...

Sorry, face facts dawgs...  They have the SCREEN TECH, and Apple can't do an F-ing thing!

Get real boys...  BUT we kick their ass on EVERYTHING else, so... you know the saying:

You can't win um all...

If you have the email bug or email problem.  I would definitely recommend updating to this AND DO NOT run Cocktail, till that can be verified, but their communication seems to be lacking a bit...

My email has been a P.O.S. for 45 days...

Anybody else think 2.2GB for an update that doesn't really add any features seems a bit much?

I mean, that's only slightly smaller than the entire current Xubuntu OS release, for what is ultimately a minor patch.  I've got clients who still have 12 megabit DSL connections, patches like this are a pain for them.

Just in case:  If your clients have say 5 machines at the same site they have to update, turn on Caching, on one of the machines.  This way you only download once for 5 machines.

Hope this helps!

Can’t this be handled with flick of a switch to make everyone happy? Have a setting in Settings > App Store “Allow Sideloading”. Have it switched off by default.  If a user switches it on, they can side load. Everyone wins, and nobody is forced to do something they don’t want to.

Everyone doesn't "win"

The biggest (and largely unspoken in this debate) problem with sideloading is that it's a portal for mass, casual piracy of third-party apps, especially mom-and-pop apps that don't depend on host servers. (That's why Epic Games is fine with this; their best products are server-dependent, hence already piracy-proof.) Then, small-time app developers — the very ones the legislation is allegedly crafted to protect — see 80-90% of their revenue disappear. That's what happens on Android, now it will happen on iPhone/iPad too?

Yes indeed.  And honestly people from other countries don't really feel like paying for "Other Countries or the USA's" software IMHO, like it should just be free.  Piracy, staved off by Apple for 10 years, soon to make a comeback, pitiful!

This is basically what the iMac Pro was when it came out: a stopgap for those who truly could not wait for apple to finish the Mac Pro. 

This mini tower of power is certainly awesome, but it’s not looking great at the price. Here Apple has full control of its hardware assets and the price somehow gets worse than with Intel. Ouch. 

27” being the only size for the display is a bit of a letdown as well. And the 5k resolution is ok. But nothing special. Some of us have had 27” iMac 5ks for 7 years already. 

Hopefully this means that a monster iMac 27” or hopefully larger is still on the way and hopefully it doesn’t start at $5,000 dollars. 

27" iMac (Pro/Not) is never coming out... unless the 24 gets phased out and transitioned to a 27"
They are going colors with MacBook Airs and iMacs... they have basically cemented their "Color Lineup"

Why didn't you get an MacMini M1?
Why don't you wait till a MacMini M2 comes out? (and not buy that)
Then you can complain that the M2 isn't enough?
and just keep going on and on with these grapes man...
