I am sure with Mammoth you’ll see some functionality limited to AS Macs as we progress forward. Still you can’t desert enterprise customers with Intel based Macs such as the Mac Pro they still need to utilize over several years.
Got a tip for us?

I‘m interested in:
- the final SOC (will it be dual socket or per fabric)
- the design
- will it have PCI-E
- the size?
Amazing times for Apple ecosystem
Absolutely!

I think 13 will serve both aka universal, with the majority of new features reserved for AS.
I bet that’s gonna get revealed at an in person event. Apple probably wants people to experience it immediately after the announcement.
Actually, maybe not… invites were sent out 69 days before the keynote last year.
I like to see Apple enhance metal making it possible to support porting games from other platforms..

Gas??? Think of all the CARS he could buy for the price difference of an Apple car and a nice, modestly priced ICE car.
If Apple drops a new Mac mini anytime soon (within the next few months) it will most likely be the current chassis with a M1 Pro SoC...?
It is not a "Surprise!" type of Apple event, it is an annual developers event; so no need to keep the event/dates/invites a giant secret...?
Two year Apple transition was announced at WWDC 2021, first actual Mn products released four months later...
ASi Mac Pro will most likely be Mn Ultra (2x Mn Max SoCs) & Mn Extreme (4x Mn Max SoCs), so there will be a price difference between the Mac Studio and the Mac Pro...
Someone wanting to get a $2k Mac Studio is not going to wait for a $6k+ Mac Pro...
But we can infer that it will be sometime in June, as it has been for the last few decades...
Yes, debut/preview at WWDC 2022, with release before the end of 2022, that would fulfill the two year transition to Apple silicon...
One might think, with COVID-19 and the closing of Apple stores everywhere could have curtailed at-store queuing for product releases, and even when opened back up Apple might have decided that encouraging large groups of random people to congregate could still pose some "super spreader" issues...?
For a M2-based Mac mini, sure...!
Next week? Yeah…no.
That seems way too early. And as somebody else already pointed out, if this is a virtual event, why would they need to send an invite out the last week of March? Isn’t usually like mid to late April?

No, it would be just a very bad UX decision. Don’t touch the iOS homescreen.
Honestly, I hated Objective-C.
Swift made me kind of like to program on iOS. But yes, UIKit could make things complex.
SwiftUI made me really love programming for iOS. It's so damn great and powerful, but still lacks key features IMO.
Here's a thought, remember the news that Google moved up their Google I/O event?
Google I/O to Take Place in May, Will Once Again Be Online
Google today announced that its annual Google I/O developers conference is set to take place on Wednesday, May 11 and Thursday May 12, about a month ahead of when we're expecting Apple to hold the annual Worldwide Developers Conference. Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai shared the news this...

Nothing stopping Apple from changing the date that WWDC 2022 occurs to be earlier to provide distraction to Googles plans. Since March 14th pubic releases, we heard zilch about whats next with the OS's. Yes where's that next beta cycle almost 2 weeks now?
In person is always better, but since no one knows how long the "pandemic" will prevent society to go back to (un)normal then I suppose there's not much else to do if Apple has really completed the project already. It's not like they're gonna postpone the launch by a year just because there is no in person experience.
Too early. Keep in mind that Apple was still selling mostly Intel machines just a couple of years ago.
My bet is, for macOS 15 or 16 at the earliest. However, we’ll be seeing more and more new exclusive features for the Apple Silicon macs.
well no one would force you to rearrange them ??♂️
Along those lines the 2018 and 2019 shows were limited to 6000 developers. Having sessions that require more distance around participants for the San Jose Convention Center is not practical. Santa Clara County is very proactive with keeping the 7 day numbers low, if we suddenly had a rise they would clamp down on indoor activities. I don't think Apple wants to risk their developer community that is lucky enough to get tickets to WWDC.
I still think outside the negatives, having all the WWDC sessions available digitally allows more to experience that learning environment even if parts of it is prerecorded. Its save's travel/lodging for sure. Each years digital event allowed all the large tech companies to continue to improve the way participants can interact with staff for a virtual one-on-one.

Yeh, and you have to drive to some Apple certified person to open your battery compartment. Like a genius bar at the apple store, but it will be a Master Magnetic guy. Lol
I don’t think it’s a good idea to give customization options for everything. Specially when it affects core UX principles. You asked why wouldn’t they allow it - I think the reason is very obvious, although you can disagree with it, of course. If everything was optional, then why would Apple employees keep working?

100. Nobody else
Can someone be seriosly so excited for a triple-double mac mini with 4 or 8 mobile chips glued together with a poor GPU, 512 GB SSD, macOS with so many bugs that you can't even plug a monitor into it and selling for 50.000 bucks?
“Winding down.” Right. Only 814 Americans dead last week.
The pandemic will never wind down as long people keep thinking that way. It’s like expecting a fire to go out when you’ve cut the fire hoses and keep throwing fuel into the blaze.

I think we're finally going to see MacOS Bakersfield. Just beautiful!

Why the hell would anyone click thumbs down on this comment? There are some pathetic Apple apologists on here. LOL
