M5 Pro/Max are just fine for N3P on paper, don't you think? M6 generation should also be nice. Can't go wrong now or later, unless it's suddenly time to bet against Apple Silicon lol

Bonkers CPU power (new baseline set with M4 Pro) may open up the possibility of future bigger-screened Pro-tier Mac(Books) running binned chips with a $200US or so savings vs. unbinned tiers. $2299-ish MBP16.2 with MBP14.2 binned M-Pro chip may be something Apple's considering?

The Information

Sources: Apple may use electrically induced adhesive debonding to make batteries easier to replace, starting with one iPhone 16 model, to comply with EU rules

Under pressure from regulators in Europe and elsewhere, Apple in recent years has taken small steps toward making the iPhone easier for consumers to repair.

If any Mac needs a crazy fast NPU, damn the relative perf/W, Mac Studio Ultra is it. But will M3 Ultra inherit the overclocked A17 Pro NPU? It SHOULD, IMHO, but who knows

Apple announces the 3nm M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max with a dynamic caching GPU, 20% faster performance cores over the M2, and 50% faster efficiency cores over the M1

Apple has unveiled its next generation of M series chips: M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max.  These new chips are 3nm, like the A17 Pro.

Spooky bins, too. I mean, 18GB RAM? Vs. 16GB? What's an 11-core CPU? 5+6? That's...very binned. And two LESS GPU cores than before, 14 vs. 16? How much faster is the $1999 M1 Pro binned MBP14.2 M3 Pro vs. M2 Pro?

So apparently 150GB/sec memory bandwidth is deemed sufficient for M3 Pro even tho it's been 200GB/sec since M1 Pro And $2499 M3 Pro swaps 2 perf cores for 2 e-cores. The entry level SKU compares vs. M2 Pro will be interesting. Very. 18-core GPU better beat the old 19-core tho.

Eh, everything is “being considered” (according to sources familiar with the matter) until Rumored/Unlaunched Apple Product actually ships. Though I can also see Apple charging $20-100 for a head strap, too. https://twitter.com/...

@BenBajarin Fair. Not that Apple's being particularly “dishonest” with the numbers, though. “Devices” after all. Predominantly iPhones, of which most people just have one.

Lightning, “the connector for the next decade” per now-Apple Fellow Phil Schiller, has been *around* for a decade. *Of course* it's time for a change. (And to USB-C? Sure why not) No feigned surprise from the long-time Apple/iPhone watchers, please.
