Pro Display XDR works on iMac Pro at 5K, not 6K
richardway said:Why nobody remembers that iMac Pro is actually just updated in 2019?
That was just increasing the available memory options (something the existing chipset already supported) and using the same GPU as before, just overclocked.
Apple would have had to update the system board to incorporate Titan Ridge and they would not do that when there was no benefit at the time (since the XDR display was not announced) except the raise the cost.

In other words, they know someone clicked on an LA Times article (as an example), but they do not know that my AppleID was the one who did that even though I am logged in with said AppleID. If Apple literally did not track that an article was accessed, they could not pay the publisher for it. And Apple has said payments will be made based on the number of accesses. But all Apple is collecting is that the article was accessed and nothing else. They are not collecting data that would allow them to begin to form a "portfolio" of me based on the publications and articles I access.
And with respect, are you familiar with how Apple will be paying the publishers their 50% cut of the revenue? They've said they will do so based on reader engagement with the publisher's content: https://9to5mac.com/2019/02/13/apple-news-service/
How do you expect Apple to determine engagement if they literally don't know what articles are engaged with, which is a literal interpretation of the phrase "we don't know what you read".
And are you aware that Apple's recommendation engine surface topics for personalized stories today in Apple News? How do you think the engine can do so if it literally has no idea of what you are reading or what publications you are following?
Apple has to collect some data on what is being read in order to make the system work. But it doesn't need to know who, explicitly, is reading it. And Apple defines that lack of explicitness as "not knowing what you read". -
