Definitely. Right after watching an Apple event, it is a custom to get into a tank to blow some eldery people.

But seriously, did it ever occur to you that there are a lot of Russians who are against Putin and this unjust war he started?

The new iPhone SE looks like a really solid phone. The only thing it doesn't really have compared to the 13 is the better camera and the larger form factor / fancier screen tech. And weirdly there doesn't seem to be much in the Android world at that price point anymore.

IIRCGoogle Pixel 5a, had the same camera as the more expensive Pixel. The SE with it's fingerprint unlock looks very nice, but the camera is a bit of a deal breaker. It's one thing I don't like about my iPhone 13mini.

Pixel #a series also are simless. The iPhone SE requires a sim card unfortunately.

yes, you can. i don't know if people here are too young to remember before Steve Jobs return, Apple was in the gutter. Steve had to make a deal with Microsoft to inject money into Apple. no one stand at the top forever. if it happened before it will happen again.

As a long-time PC user, I remember going to CompUSA and seeing the Mac section of games which was laughable. Back then you bought Apple if you were a sound engineer or into graphic/media design. I used to tell people I’m a die-hard PC user simply: Mac sucks! Fast forward to around 2009 and I’ve been a happy Apple user since then for all my software engineering needs. Is the platform perfect? Nope! And nothing is. Is…

One more thing: Apples’s turnaround was one of the most unexpected things in modern computing.

Also, never have I ate my own words harder with the “Mac sucks” thing.

At the end of the day I’ll use what works.

They just announced the "totally new" Mac Studio, which honestly just looks like a Mac Mini, but significantly taller, available with the new M1 Ultra (2x M1 Max). While they claimed that modularity was a goal, I honestly don't see how that could possibly be the case given the form factor. There's also a new Studio display going along with it. EDIT: It may be that their understanding of modularity is having -- what t…

Ports on the front? Crazy!

Did it ever occur to you that the point you're making is obvious?

They're really going out of the way to avoid an M1X nomenclature. And I suppose this design isn't yet incrementation worthy, for an M2.

It would've looked really bad if they introduced an M2 half a year after releasing a M1 chip. They would've deprcated the chip that is being used in their existing products. I expect them to release an M2 chip earliest in the fall of this year or early 2023.

Sure, but many at least expected a tick type M1X. Though maybe that's what M1 Max was, they just didn't name it that.
