Wait what? Do u have a link to that quick switch user thing ? I'm very interested
Got a tip for us?

Center Stage requires a wide camera sensor. It is not purely a software feature.
Just give me my Touch Bar back. Please and thank you. Charge us more if needed.
OK fine, better Example.
iPad Air was introduced in September 2020 with the A14 chip, while the iPad Pro stuck with an A12Z until May 2021.
A14 had a better single core speed than the A12Z.
Apple always introduces the lower powered version of the brand new chip first before moving it into their professional devices.
Every A- chip was introduced before the A-X version.
Same should be expected with the M series.
M1 was introduced in November 2020, M1pro and M1max in October 2021, and the full desktop versions of the M1 series for the 27 inch iMac, and then even more for the iMac pro will be introduced most likely in the first half of next year.
Then M2 in mid/late 2022, M2pro/max in mid 2023, and so on and so on.
It’s not only just because of the product timeline, but it’s also just because of how manufacturing works.
Start manufacturing the new or updated process with the least complicated, easiest and most in-demand version, then move onto the more complicated, expensive and niche version of the same processor.

In the most recent Upgrade podcast, they interview Apple VPs Tom Boger and Tim Millet from the hardware group who explain that in performance modeling for the MBPs, their focus was on performance , it was worthwhile to shift give up a little on the efficiency in order to gain more maximum performance.
Upgrade #379: They Feed on Memory Bandwidth - Relay
We're joined by Apple VPs Tom Boger and Tim Millet to discuss Apple's chip-design philosophy and how it factored into the company's first high-end Mac chips, the M1 Pro and M1 Max.
Apple is not using standard SSDs where the controller is built into the SSD. The controller function is done in the SOC and the SSD is more like a dumb data store. this may be one of the reasons that the SSDs in the MBP are noticeably faster.
If you have several users on the same Mac with touch ID, if they put their finger on the touch ID sensor and click the button it will switch to their account.
Been a feature since 2016.
Awesome thanks.no further procedure or anything,pretty straightforward apparently
So I could just use my other finger for quick switching !!
So they may keep the same thing next year..In the most recent Upgrade podcast, they interview Apple VPs Tom Boger and Tim Millet from the hardware group who explain that in performance modeling for the MBPs, their focus was on performance , it was worthwhile to shift give up a little on the efficiency in order to gain more maximum performance.

I assume at one point in the future a good percentage of us will connect to the net using a "Cell Network" exclusively, forgoing "wifi" completely; Once its widespread, affordable, and fast enough. Perhaps Apple are starting to set the stage.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is already well on its way in some of the tech advanced countries in Asia.

That sounds more like the next MacBook Air, especially at that price point. Plus, why would the MBP regress back to 13”?
I was just in an area with 5G UW, and it tested nearly double Gigabit. Insane, even my house is “only” Gigabit, and that’s the fastest they offer. 5G is a game changer for sure.
I’m loving my base 16” Pro. I returned the Max with 64GB and haven’t noticed the difference yet. So for portable Prosumers, the base models are just amazing.
Apple ditching Intel has to be their greatest move since perhaps the G3 color iMacs. If I can get a Bondi Blue 30” M1 Max, I will be in heaven.

Good point. I never thought about that. Had my mid-2012 MacBook Pro (that I still use as my only computer) included cellular connectivity, it would be 3G. But thanks to iPhone tethering, it is possible to get far faster data speeds using the latest 5G technology.
What do you mean by HDMI 2.2? There is no spec for that. Even 2.1 has taken years to come to market with devices only starting to come out in the last year.
Hold out for gen-two (late 2022) or gen-three (late 2023). By then web browsing battery life will probably be better.
Ye you think so ? Did they give 2e cores on purpose ,so next gen gets much better battery life ,or was it because of silicon shortage in ur opinion
