  • Unfinished AirPower unit shown off in new video

    Interesting that the charging animation was left in. Seems they finished the iOS software but never could get the charger to work properly. Which is pretty unfortunate since there are now AirPower style charging pucks available with 3 spaces. I wonder if there were limitations due to the nonstandard AW charging which they couldn't work around. Leaving things like this in the OS though is where exploits stem from - rarely used software that's not fully tested. It should be removed. 
    A charging puck "with 3 spaces" is not remotely close to AirPower, and there is nothing on the market currently that is functionally equivalent.  AirPower was designed with 20 coils so that it would not be necessary to align a device exactly with a coil for charging. Obviously 20 coils creates heat problems that aren't an issue with just 3 coils.

    Which states banned gaming computers? The same ones that mandated 100% electric cars by 2035? What morons. Power consumption only matters with laptops, tablets, and cell phones. Desktop power consumption is almost irrelevant in comparison as long as there is sufficient cooling.
    No state has "banned gaming computers."  That is utter bullshit.  California and some other states enacted regulations limiting idle power draw. Does not ban any computer, nor does it even limit power consumption when the machine is actually being used.

    OMG 2 years - how hard is it to migrate iMac & MacBook Pro internals into a slightly larger casing ?!
    Yeah because that's ALL that project entails.  Is your theory that Apple is intentionally holding back new Macs in an attempt to make a smaller profit?

    Bloody hell… Hope this doesn’t mean we won’t see deliveries of M1x (M2?) MacBook Pros and MacBook Airs until 2022. Really counting on 2021 Q3 or worst case Q4 deliveries. 
    Why would you be counting on that?  Apple stated unequivocally that this would be two-year transition.

    The longer they’re leaving it, the more the competition has stepped up. The buying public can’t see beyond marketing specs so genuine advantages are already mitigated. Single-core performance has been matched by Intel 11th gen i7/i9 so it’ll be interesting to see how much Apple has left in the tank.
    Wow, what an absolutely clueless post that won't age well.
