I've been waiting over a year for this. My M1 8GB is simply not up to spec for iOS Dev work. Apple Store literally had nothing with 16GB when I had to buy it. I asked about when they could get one in -- Apple store assistant told me it would be at least 3 months. This was in Ireland during Covid. For reference my 2016 MacBook Pro had 16GB RAM so it was surprising to me that 6 years later I would be unable to buy one…

To make money just like you showed. You got the 8gb and now you want to pay more to get another one with M2 and 16gb+. Apple product segmentation is legendary for extracting the most from consumers.

The 8 GB models are all over the secondhand markets and the 16 GB ones are hard to find, even that.

Where is the new 27" iMac? That's what I want to know. I ended up buying legacy Intel Macs for staff because the extra screen real-estate is really useful.

What, people don't like me pointing out a big gaping hole in their product selection? pffft

I’m surprised there are still people out there using their Mac to manage their iPhone.

Is there a way on Linux to backup the photos to the computer without using a cloud service?

Yes! There is an OSS implementation of (parts of) the proprietary protocol for USB communication to iTunes so you can indeed get your photos. I say parts because some functionality is not implemented, like the offline backups feature.

I just checked the trade-in value for 16inch M1 Pro 10 core CPU 16 core GPU with 32GB on the Apple website. It's only worth $700USD. I would have thought they would pay more for a 1 year old laptop. I am not looking to upgrade, but am quite surprised by how low the trade-in value is.

that’s paltry

For me MacBookPro with M2 chips would be perfect if the 13in model allowed 64GB RAM. My workflow requires me to run Docker (intel images) heavily with several containers. Having a virtualization layer is pretty resource consuming. Usually the Docker + containers I use take around 5GB RAM alone. Under that configuration I've found 32GB to be just within the limit of usability. 16GB are just not enough. Also, for some…

Really don't understand why Apple still selling 13" MBP, as MBP 14 is much better, and you can get it with up to 96GB of memory now. I would assume they keep 13" just for people who still likes TouchBar.

I bought a 13” M2 for work (freelance dev) last week. It’s a weight and size thing for me. The 14” (I’ve had one before) seems to just cross the threshold for what I can comfortably carry when I’m out and about.

That's when I realize how much my weird hardware preferences set me apart: I mostly care about an OLED screen and ECC ram. Then, a touchscreen supporting pen entry, and a good keyboard (with the edit keys like home/insert/pageup/pagedown directly accessible, bonus is there's also printscreen) especially if it's not a foldable or a tablet. Apple's got good CPU and battery life, but unless the core features are present…

fanapples going to bite. but its a legit view point.
