    When will Macs get better FaceTime Cameras? They're inferior to the cameras on the iPhones

    It's been crossing my mind but I find it funny that the cameras on our iPhones are miles ahead of the ones that come with our MacBooks and iMacs. You would think that the cameras would be on par or even better on the Macs because they have more room to work with. I really hope the next updates...

    Hello, I recently bought 2x8gb @1867ghz sticks of RAM to add to the 16gb (also 2x8gb @1867ghz) that is in my late 2015 iMac. Despite tracking down RAM that is the same brand, clock speed, and latency; when installed together, the system shows the speed as 1333ghz. I've attached a picture of...

    No 2018 iMac?!

    [June 4, after WWDC 2018] It did seem fairly unlikely that the Mac team would release an iMac half a year after the iMac Pro at the same time as they worked on the Mac Pro and Mac Mini, but I figured that maybe they could’ve just done a cpu refresh and thrown a touchbar keyboard with touch id...
