Phil Schiller Talks About the Development of the Original iPad in New Interview

Imagine what Apple would be producing if Jobs were still alive. Instead, pretty much the same things for the last 8 or 9 years, just with upgraded specs and thinner.

If Jobs were still CEO, things would be about the same as they are now.

Is no one willing to entertain the possibility that Steve Jobs might have been ill suited to run Apple today given its current size and trajectory? Either he would have stepped aside for Tim Cook by now, or maybe even end up making similar decisions (eg: prioritising wearables over Macs).

Either way, things may have been different, but they might not necessarily have been better.

I know a number of scientists who would disagree with you. They have a lot of software that takes advantage of CUDA, and would love to have Macs that had support for it.

They do not need CUDA. Instead they need GPGPU.
The only advantage of CUDA is it limit your GPU selection to NVIDIA only and generate money for NVIDIA.

CUDA was a pretty amazing creation back in Brook+/Folding@Home days but shouldn't be used in today's environment at all.
Scientists usually are not aware and do not care about market monopoly. But as an end customer I need NVIDIA to drop CUDA support/move them to legacy support as soon as possible and embrace open standard just like they did with their FPGA based "G-Sync". I do not want my code bind to a proprietary framework. I just want my code runs on any new GPU I purchased, NVIDIA/AMD/Intel/PowerVR/Apple shouldn't matters just like how they rendering 3D graphics with Vulkan/Direct3D/Metal.

Nah, sorry. Geforce still stomps on Radeon for frame rates.

Which Geforce and which Radeon?
I highly doubt a Geforce MX250 could be faster than a Radeon Pro 5500M.

It's always performance power and price. Nothing stomps on everything.

Currently RTX2070 and 5700XT are almost same level of performance with same level of power consumption. I do aware 5700XT is 7nm and 2070 is 12nm but that's NVIDIA's choice. They can not make large chips on 7nm so NVIDIA use 12nm to prioritize RTX features.

PS: I build my tower with RTX2080Ti. I just grab the best card within my budget and do not care about it being AMD/NVIDIA.

They already have one with 64GB and I just have it on my desk.
They do not need NVIDIA. AMD GPUs are equally capable of doing GPGPU stuff and even raytracing render.
RT Cores are good but AMD will catch up on it next year with RDNA2 and right now almost no professional software support that yet.

Nobody need CUDA. CUDA is the cancer of GPGPU just like x86 is the cancer of CPU. I do not like Apple's MPS also but at least one competitor against NVIDIA is better than no competitor at all.

In a perfect world I want everything runs on open standard -- RISC-V CPU with Vulkan/OpenCL compatible GPU.
But right now I just want a less monopoly market -- ARM with Metal compatible GPU.

I want this too! It’s title a few years away and I’m praying Apple doesn’t give us this in a MBA first; yet probably here.

I also want RISC-V with Metal compatible GPU but in a 13” MBP ... very similar to what Razor brought the good-good with!

I just want Apple to STOP treating the 13” MBP which more than likely sells a LOT more than the 15”/16” models as a 2ND Class citizen.

this.
to me, bringing my hand up to the screen every time i want to do anything is simply annoying and tiring (other than just scrolling, which is fine).

i am patiently waiting for an ARM based MacBook Air that uses iOS with fully integrated trackpad functionality.
i don't need macOS anymore. iOS is fine for me.
i am hoping that spaceship campus apple will be able to deal better with one set of bugs (ala iOS 10.13), rather than try to deal with two sets of bugs (ala macOS Catalina + iOS 10.13).

min bold above screams laziness. You may not be usedto this user change but if it was the norm and it pains you maybe it’s physical fitness on shoulder workouts & endurance you require.

thank you. i am sure you are right.

Or weather app.

on iPadOS on the home screen there is the weather widget. I use it every day.

It’s not the same, though.
