The one service requirement makes sense: otherwise people would trust in Apple’s FindMy service’s privacy, while a parallel service would leak the data based on a user agreement most people just click OK on, without reading.

Of course this is more stringent: here it’s not just about a “made for iOS” sticker, or AppStore listing; here it’s about privacy.

Okay, this is gong exactly where I thought it would go. 

Apple announces they are completely switching architecture. 

Softbank suddenly decides to sell ARM Holdings. 

A competitor swoops in to pull the rug out from under Apple

Nope, Apple has as far as I remember a perpetual far reaching cross license agreement; remember, Apple co-developed the architecture, which is why they don’t need to buy ARM.

The article fails to mention that Apple skipped an X-generation chip for the iPad Pro refresh.

I’d say they intentionally held back such as not to tip their hand. If you extrapolate the performance gains from A12 to A13, you can imagine where an A13X would have been, now add another generation, less concern for power/heat, and focus on desktop performance, and I’d expect people to be as blown away by the performance as they were when Apple baffled everyone moving the iPhone to a 64Bit platform...

People forget that Apple and Intel developed TB TOGETHER. It’s not like a PROTOCOL is depending on a specific CPU 🤦🏻‍♂️

These features may be great, but when a supposedly independent site sounds like a paid-for Apple add, but has amateur production values, it loses any credibility.

Either produce infomercials, but then match or surpass Apple’s production values, or produce a critical video on what’s better, different, and worse; but stop gushing like you’re a high school kid who just won a date with a Playboy model...
