Now the Pro models can drive 4k external displays via USB-C, it will be interesting to see how far Apple goes in making the iPhone Pro a desktop replacement. 

The 'Spatial Video' of the iPhone 15 Pro is likely to be a proof of concept feature to kickstart the developers. I would expect the 16 Pro Max to have an extra lens at the opposite end of the body, so two identical lenses & sensors roughly eye-distance apart, to exploit the real potential for the end-user. 

The 15 Pro Max is a photographer's and cinematographer's phone. The 'spatial video' combined with Vision has huge potential. Pro-Res with external recording (via USB-C), Academy Color Encoding System and lenses from 13mm ultra-wide to 120mm (35mm film equivalent) telephoto are absolute game-changers. 

I wonder what else Apple has up its sleeves for that USB-C port. 

Going from an iPhone SE (1st gen) to an iPhone 12 Mini was bad enough with significant size and weight increases. I won't be getting anything even larger. It has to get smaller if anything.

16GB vs. 32GB -- Maximize a Mac's performance by choosing the right amount of memory

Reply:
Choosing between 16GB and 32GB of RAM for a Mac depends on your specific needs and intended use cases. 16GB is generally sufficient for most everyday tasks such as web browsing, word processing, and light media editing. It's a good amount for typical multitasking as well.

32GB, on the other hand, offers a performance advantage for more resource-intensive activities like professional video editing, 3D rendering, and heavy multitasking involving multiple demanding applications. It can be especially useful for users who frequently run virtual machines or work with large datasets.

Consider your workflow and the kinds of tasks you'll be performing to determine which amount of memory will best maximize your Mac's performance.
