I’m down with an update. What I want is a cheaper used M1 Pro 10 core MBP (14” & 16” are running about $1650+ used). If an M2 Pro model came out, the prices on the current models would go down, I’d keep a computer out of a landfill, and get all the performance and ports I want.
Got a tip for us?

Try wearing a hat and a Face Mask. If you think it works well, then you must be on some serious medication beyond COVID. Not every one has a watch and FaceID's mask support is lame. Stop playing the old Steve Jobs "It's a Feature" game with yourself. You're abusing your brain.
Just waiting on the M2 Pro Mac mini...
- M2 Pro SoC (N5P)
- 12-core CPU (8P/4E)
- 20-core GPU
- 24GB LPDDR5 SDRAM
- 512GB NVMe SSD
- Gigabit Ethernet
- $1499
I don’t trust Bloomberg, so these comments mean nothing to me. This guy’s track record seems to be based on obvious or well known rumors.
I still think there will be another event this year — at the very least, part of the event could be a refresher on the features of macOS and iPadOS (I think they used to touch on this in the past). I think the best videos that Apple has produced have been the individual WWDC sessions, so I don’t know why they can’t just use this format. These would take less time to produce, and they would be easier to watch and much less distracting.

If no event or announcement occurs for the rest of 2022, given that the event would be a huge milestone for the conversion to AS plus the fact it is the Mac Pro, Apple might depart from their usual March event to do one in January. That early hasn't happened since 2010 but there's no real reason it shouldn't.
Apple won’t let users to decide between faceid and touchid. You know it’s too complicated for average Joe, I guess.
So 50/50 odds from the guy with super hearing. I thought they said, but now I am thinking I heard wrong. Guess you can't be accused of being right all the time.
I’ll take things that don’t matter for $1,000 Alex.
I love it when people have a one off experience and then can’t understand why Apple won’t fix something that didn’t happen to the other billion phones out there. My personal feelings must be validated!!
Except Gurman has an extremely strong track record of accurately predicting dates and event content, far better than anybody else. And how do you prove a negative?

Gurman: Apple Event on March 8, At Least Four M2 Macs to Launch Later This Year
In his Power On newsletter today, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reiterated that Apple is planning to hold a virtual event on Tuesday, March 8 to...
He is good with the tech specs, he still got the iPad Mini totally wrong. We shall see.
Won't be getting another iPhone unless it has touch... unless they really really leave me with no options to upgrade....
I love my iPhone SE.
I love my iPhone SE.
And considering they have it on macs, it’s not a dead tech.
Happy to see some rumors and articles that are not iPhone and AW related.
The ATV rumor has been around for a while in different forms, I wonder if it will ever happen. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple just discontinues it.
Its too big to press announce it. It will mark the end of the transition. It is needed to discuss expandability and something a bit better than M* processors.
FaceID is exactly as convenient as TouchID. One requires you to touch the home button, the other requires you to swipe up from the bottom of the screen. Your thumb is going to the exact same part of the of the phone for the same amount of time.
If anything FaceID is less convenient, because you can't unlock the phone when it is flat on the desk next to you.
Both are more convenient than a passcode, and FaceID allowed that convenience and security in a full screen phone.
Many added MagSafe to that list and they were wrong.
I don’t think iOS and the Secure Enclave support more than one secure biometric sensors. Apple would need to tweak and redesign things majorly, and for what, just to add a less scure biometric? The cost would outweigh the benefits (and profits).
I don’t understand why people want under screen TouchID. The current tech for that is inferior to the capacitive TouchID. Optical, ultra sonic, they’re all still inferior to capacitive. The capacitive fingerprint sensor is still superior in speed and accuracy.
And since Apple has placed TouchID as the biometric for the “cheaper” models (iPhone SE, regular iPad), they wouldn’t put TouchID back on their flagship iDevices again. It would “cheapen” those products in the eye of consumers.
