This is also from the earnings call: “The primary constraint in the March and June quarter is the availability of the advanced nodes our SOCs are produced on, not memory.” I read that as saying they couldn’t increase production of M4 and M4 Pro/Max on the TSMC N3E node to meet the increased...

That ASUS is a 32" 4K, but ASUS did release a 32" 8K late last year, and it is now available. US $8,799 — PA32KCX — it is the only 8K monitor on the market at the moment, and it is a big step forward, well beyond the discontinued Dell, with a 4,032-zone MiniLED backlight, true 10-bit color, and...

Pretty sure I killed one of these last week in Connecticut. Flew into my house through an open door. It was bigger than anything I’d ever seen, and the head was distinctive.

This has got to be M3. I was sure it was going to be M2 (and maybe M2 Pro) for the iMac, plus new iPad Air (and maybe iPad mini). Happy to be (probably) wrong. If so (M3) then they’ll have a lot to talk about, mesh shading and hardware ray tracing in games with scary themes! It would be great...

This fits well with sane expectations. Apple has consistently said, via interviews with employees like Anand Shimpi and others, that every Mac would get every generation of M-series silicon. The 24" Retina iMac will get M2 and very likely the keyboard and mouse will get USB-C. This refresh...

Here's what will happen. A17 launches today. The iMac and the iPad Air get spec bumps from M1 to M2 next month, via press releases. It's possible Apple will continue to sell the 24" M1 iMac at a lower price point, like they currently do for the 13" M1 MacBook Air. M3 will launch in 2024, most...

One correction to the article: the A15/M2 is built on TSMC N5P, not N4P. The A16 is built on N4P, but it is not the basis for M2.

Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro both make use of the Touch Bar, so that may explain why they haven’t removed it (and they could have), but that’s not the reason the 13" MBP has been refreshed twice, and may well be again. If you look at Apple’s marketing for it, the fan is front and center. You can...

There’s a chance both these rumors are people getting ahead of themselves and the M3 won’t appear until 2024. The iMac and the iPad Air are the two remaining M1 products, both are colorful, family-friendly builds that could be the focus of the October event, but with M2, not M3. At that point...

I almost missed the pitch at the end, after the credits, when Captain Seven and her bridge crew are set, with Raffi as Number One to her right and Jack in Deanna Troi’s seat to her left.

Well, there is likely an example of what you’re talking about in this very thread (find the poster who joined 28 days ago), but you’re way off base with regard to the Wikipedia articles in question, which cite their sources. The scholarly debate about Sima Qian’s depiction of the Qin regime is...

One thing that is kind of getting lost in translation here, from both Chinese to English and also from religion (Buddhism) to medical science (the paper in question is by scientists, for a scientific journal), is that by "generations" they mean Buddhist knowledge being passed down from teacher...

This thinking strikes me as “the voice of experience” and so it is probably common among the 30% [?] or so who have received any previous booster. It’s actually what the nurse who gave me the bivalent (my 5th shot) said she herself was planning to do, to time it for the holidays. But I commute...

No reason to respond to this provocation, we need only to wait, because this question is currently being “settled on/in the field/pitch/arena” as it were. There is a war going on that will decide this. This is just for the Russian domestic propaganda bubble, and has little to do with actual...

Those are two very different skill sets. The latter, making the electronic content of a computer floppy disk look and behave like a pristine original disk requires knowledge of how to make such a copy (and the tools to do so), and most importantly, you have to have an actual original to...

Okay, this is the last of my thoughts on this, here’s the macOS post-transition-to-Apple Silicon product structure, when the M2 is introduced: MacBook Air (colors, gets M2 first) : MacBook Studio : MacBook Pro iMac (colors, gets M2 first) : iMac Studio : iMac Pro Mac Studio : Mac Pro Apple...

Posting this as a follow-up to my comment directly above, instead of making an edit, in order to highlight it. “Ultra” is the key word in the name of the official television industry standard: “8K Ultra HD.” It’s also the key element in the name of the 4K standard, UHD = Ultra HD. The “Ultra”...

Your comment about audio evokes another possible double entendre, as “Performance” can be understood two ways, as in musical/artistic performance versus hardware/software performance! So let’s edit to add one more prediction (based on the fact there is apparently a laptop in the regulatory...

There are two Ars articles/threads about it here: https://meincmagazine.com/gadgets/2022/03 ... march-8th/ https://meincmagazine.com/gadgets/2022/03 ... -they-are/ Here is a revised version of a comment I made there: Apple has used similar puns or double-entendres in the past, notably the “Hi...

Look for a completely redesigned MacBook Air in the current iMac colors when the M2 is released. Maybe June, otherwise in the Fall. Right now, the only completed fully Apple Silicon Macs are the iMac and the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros. The Air and the Mini are still transitional. It looks...
