Gurman: Apple Planning Multiple Events for the Fall, M1X MacBook Pros to be Available by November

[havenyoung]

He’s running out of stuff to put into his weekly “news”letter.

I only care about the computers.

I only care about the computers if they weigh no more than 3 lb.

I would guess "M1X" probably means they'll have the same RAM, USB bus, and external display constraints as the M1 - just a faster processor.

I doubt that, my guess is at least 32, and, it'll be called M2

 

[jz0309]

I wonder when the watch will get 5G. This year? Next year?

and for what purpose???

 

[johnediii]

You and I have very different definitions of "screwed', but I understand where you are coming from.

Screwed because I need my new phone NOW! 😆

I put all expenses for new Apple hardware on hold. Self imposed „Apple Ban“. I will wait until there is more clarity about the new child protection features. In the meantime I will install Ubuntu Budgie on my old MBP10,1. And try CalyxOS on a Pixel Phone. Maybe it’s time for more free software to protect my personal freedom.

foreal. an apple watch with 5G is dumb.

i have a little regret getting my SE. but its okay since im pretty active

Awfully quiet about the bigger iMac. The M1 iMac looks nice, but can’t replace my 27” iMac with that.

You can always get a mac mini and a 32" monitor!

 

[Zance]

That's how I feel about my 5.... but.... if they magically produced 2 day battery life I'm in

Do you have the screen on all day or something? I’ve had the Series 3, 4 and 6. They’ve all had a minimum of 2 days battery life. In fact, for the 3 and 4, I always got 3 days.

#Apple ban, I’m so with you! Learning Linux as we speak, it’s actually helping with my Raspberry Pi.

In which case the rumor would be wrong - and that'd be good news.

Alongside the new iPhones, Gurman, as previously reported, says that Apple can be expected to launch the third-generation AirPods featuring an updated design

What about new AirPod Pro’s…

#Apple ban, I’m so with you! Learning Linux as we speak, it’s actually helping with my Raspberry Pi.

If you have an Intel Mac, and have some free disk space, it's pretty straightforward to install Linux. rEFInd is a decent boot manager - I use it on my 2015 MacBook Pro, and triple-boot Mojave, Big Sur, and Linux Mint (Mint's on its own partition; the other two are separate logical volumes sharing the same partition).

We use CentOS at work (although now restandardizing on AlmaLinux), but Mint is more user friendly for a desktop system IMHO.

Note that macOS updates reset the boot partition, so you find yourself having to reinstall rEFInd somewhat regularly... but that's not difficult.

Just realizing this is going to be an expensive month. New iPhone , Series 7 , iPad mini , and upgrading my 2011 MacBook Pro 🤔

 

[The Game 161]

Can’t wait for 120hz at last

 

[coachgq]

I don’t really need any new devices this year, but I might be talked into upgrading my XR to a 13 Pro Max. I miss that big screen of my 6s Plus and I’m hoping 5G will improve my data connection in more places. Plus ProMotion is welcomed.

I thought ProMotion didn’t make a difference to me, but I compared the display of my iPad Air 4 to that of my wife’s M1 iPad Pro 11”, and the display does look noticeably sharper. If the phone’s display also looks sharper as a result of the ProMotion, that seems like a solid upgrade.

Your Xr has a bigger screen than 6s plus…

 

[rpmurray]

I don't really care about the trinkets that Apple will be announcing. What I want to know about is the Macs. In particular whatever they're going to replace the iMac 27" with, and whatever they have up their sleeves for a more affordable Mac Pro. Oh, and a nice big display that comes with a stand and doesn't cost more than the Mac.

 

[coachgq]

How did you compare them exactly? A few days ago I brought my MBP into Apple Store for a battery replacement and looked at Air 4 and Pro 11” standing next to one another on display. To my eyes both screens looked almost identical and I could only spot a slight difference in scrolling speed in Safari. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Agree. People who want to spend the extra money talk themselves into this argument.

 

[Biritto]

But tell me good people. Why? Why is always november chosen? (Or is it just him trying to stay on the safe side?)

 

[DummyFool]

can’t wait for everyone who swore to never buy an iPhone again because of on device CSAM detection to upgrade in a few months

When they rumoured the notch, I swore never to buy an iPhone with it and I am still with my iPhone 8. Will buy one some day when there is no longer a notch.

You are right peoples are ____, don't know which word to use but companies would pay more attention if peoples were different.

 

[BC2009]

I don’t think there will ever be an M1X given the timing. I think Apple will unveil the M2 and the M2X. Else they would be selling pro laptops with the M1X at the same time they are selling MacBook Air with an M2.

 

[Crow_Servo]

Your Xr has a bigger screen than 6s plus…

Taller, yes. But also narrower. The notch takes up some of that space too.

 

[dwaite]

I wonder what sort of celebrity voices they will use for the Audio Meditations feature? I'm hoping for Gilbert Godfried and Bobcat Goldthwait

 

[Wildkraut]

Somehow news Macs adds nothing that wows me anymore, I want to see 3d innovations, e.g new hardware supported type of shaders etc., things that matters.
Apple keep redoing cosmetics on the Mac, but overall Macs stays the same. Where is RTX?

higher chance iOS stops being supported on iPhone 8 before a notch less iPhone comes out.
