Wow! That’s wild. Hopefully, next year will be a better year for Apple. Hopefully products are not going to be delayed.

Gurman: Apple Planning No New Mac Releases For Remainder of 2022

Based on the reports last week they are doing better than PC sales and had a record fiscal profit. You’re entitled to your opinion but at least do your research.
Apple Reports 4Q 2022 Results: $20.7B Profit on $90.1B Revenue
Apple today announced financial results for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2022, which corresponds to the third calendar quarter of the year. For the...

Out of curiosity, why are you criticizing Gurman for reporting this but not MacRumors for reporting it? Not everyone listened to Tim Cook. So in his routine reporting of Apple news, Gurman reported some Apple news. But also, the quote above was: "I'm told that Apple is aiming to introduce the upgraded models—including M2-based versions of the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros—in the first quarter of calendar 2023." Can you point out to us where Tim Cook said that new MBPs were coming in the first quarter of 2023? Because otherwise, you might need to look up the meaning of "literally."
TSMC, Samsung face difficulty in ramping up 3nm chip production
Both TSMC and Samsung Electronics are seeing their production scale for 3nm chips constrained due to difficulty in having good control of orders from big clients, and their capacity utilizations for sub-7nm process nodes are also being affected by the latest US semiconductor trade sanctions...

Well, that's a kick in the nuts. I need a new mbp to finally replace my 2011 15" mbp music production machine. Looks like I'm waiting a few more months then. Bleh.
No. Because Apple designs their own silicon now, they can be on whatever timeline they want. They can have 3 year gaps between M1 and M2, it doesn't really matter when the performance is so good.
It's also about yield management. They spend months (years?) culling and optimizing yields from iPhone chips in order to bin the best parts for the iPads/Macs.
Tim Cook is the king of supply chain, everything is done for monetary and yield reasons (this is not a bad thing BTW), so there is no logistical need to 'skip' a chip generation.
Ah hah! Whoever laughed at me for saying there won't be MacBook Pro M2 this year. Told ya to get the current M1 gen, it's the best as today and no such thing as future-proof.

I was hoping it would have been Apple Polishing Cloth. I guess we’re not getting that either.Okay, then just one more release this year,… a new Pencil
..."we have a very challenging compare..."
It's so hard to find employees that can speak English these days.

Any type of BTO tech product (i.e. your 2TB upgrade) always has terrible residual.
If you really want to maximize a more regular upgrade cycle, work on a strategy to gift/sell them to family members. Aside from a few Best Buy anomalies, trade-in for Apple is not usually very good.
Exactly— they can launch whatever they want whenever they want. So, from a marketing perspective, they could sell the delay in MBP and Mac Pros as something “worth the wait” because they all get M3 PRO/Max/Extreme chips. Maybe, maybe not, but it would be a killer line at the event. “We know we’re a little behind, but we think it’s worth the wait.” Defy expectations and call these new chips M3 since they’re 3nm.
At least we now know that the Mini is also waiting for the M2 Pro variant, otherwise there would be no point in waiting until March.
Well, maybe this is proof that M2 Pro and more powerful SoCs on the M2 family are going to be built in 3nm, who knows
Will the Mac Pro be expandable? Will it come out? Unfortunately not in 2022 like I was hoping for. :/ 🔮 🧙♂️.
Whatever. The iPad Pro is a very nice device, and with the external monitor support coming in 16.2 it'll be even better. It's not achieving its full potential is all. But "useless"? It's not useless at all. You're saying "useless" but what you mean is "not what I wanted it to be." To me, the 12.9" iPad Pro is the best device for playing iPad games, the best device for watching movies, the best device for surfing the web, the best device for sculpting in 3D, and an excellent device for writing (a task in which no device has quite proved, but rather just best in this setting but not in that). It might become best at retopology and painting of 3D objects, but the failure there is on my side rather than the iPad's. There's some eternal cadre of people who seem to be in an endless snit because what they want is macOS in an iPad. That won't happen, and if you're one of those people, give up that tantrum and stop punishing the iPad Pro out of petty spite. It's an excellent device.
Also, intel did step up its game in the last 2-3 years, so Apple is probably feeling a lot of pressure not to release a Mac Pro that fares poorly in the inevitable benchmarks comparisons. I'm rocking an M1 Max MBP and it's a marvel of power and efficiency. But the pro desktop users mostly sneer at the efficiency side, caring only for the length of that bar on that benchmark. I'm not the Mac Pro target audience but I've definitely got my fingers crossed that it's going to be awesome.
I would really like a 27 or 30 inch iMac with new m2 pro but a guy can dream
It wouldn't look good if the polishing cloth outsold iPhone 14 Plus. 🤣
I guess it also wouldn't look good if they launch a new Pencil and new iPad user can't get it 😂
disagree. the Macbook Air is better for all of those
do you type on the glass? or do you ALSO need to carry a keyboard? At 12.9 inches, you are toting a crippled Macbook Air. I will agree that the iPad is superior for reading comic books and magazines. but thats it.
