There’s no reason to improve CarPlay that much if they aren’t working on an EV. I highly doubt manufactures will have that many screens in their cars. https://twitter.com/theapplehub/status/1533866484916621317?s=21&t=3JHP_D_3DPLU48sK0utqIg it's still far away from happening, Apple Car, unless they find a manufacturing partner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

touchofmyhand Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 MacBook Air Midnight looks sickening. I would buy a 15 inch version in a heartbeat. Where it at? Also, I’m never getting those AirPods Pro 2, am I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator Bloo Posted June 7, 2022 ATRL Moderator Share Posted June 7, 2022 The M2 MacBook Air is a great product. I’m not sure why the 13” MacBook Pro still exists though. Like, I genuinely don’t understand the point of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal has some nice applications for ML with more deep learning frameworks supporting GPU training on Apple Silicon. But yeah, gaming on Mac is not going to get bigger than it is already. Metal is actually nice it’s just that game devs have no incentive to develop for such a relatively small ecosystem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Touch Bar isn’t supported by any other product. So developers have basically no incentive to incorporate good use cases of it into their software. So even Touch Bar fans are going to see less benefit over time. As for ports, the M2 MacBook Pro only has 2 thunderbolt/usb-c ports. Same as the M2 MacBook Air. The M2 MacBook Air is actually better because it has MagSafe so you can charge with MagSafe and use 2 thunderbolt ports for peripherals. As for the fans, the M1 models didn’t really show much (if any) of a performance gap. The M series is so power efficient, it’s very rare for fans to kick on unless you’re doing high intensive video rendering or some other specialized use case (for which you should probably go for the M1 Pro/Max/Ultra chipsets instead).

But I’m mostly just curious if like future versions of software will even have code to support that? That’s kinda what I’m curious about. I’m not a Touch Bar fan but Apple didn’t even try to make it successful. It being on one device kinda doomed it. Developers had no reason to innovate with it. So its fans were done dirty. Yeahhhhh, that’s the only explanation at this point. The Air’s design is much better: with a slightly larger screen, better speakers, thinner design, more ports lol, better front-facing camera, etc. and it’s cheaper.

The emoji thing will go untouched probably. But I was thinking of some of the more advanced use cases like scrobbling through video files in Final Cut. I can see those niceties being discontinued in time because people don’t care to maitain that code for just one device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I didn’t really have any use for the Watch so I returned it. that's what I was thinking too, i dont think I can maximize Watch features and not to mention it only last about 12 hours? so the problem now is if im going to buy the 2nd gen or 3rd gen, they say that the latter is too tight on the ear. the 2nd gen had them before but they felt so light so it was really nice.

It's basically the same everything but with an additional port. 1 hour ago, supertiffany said: im thinking of which one to buy is it airpods or apple watch ? 1 hour ago, supertiffany said: that's what I was thinking too, i dont think I can maximize Watch features and not to mention it only last about 12 hours? so the problem now is if im going to buy the 2nd gen or 3rd gen, they say that the latter is too tight on the ear. the 2nd gen had them before but they felt so light so it was really nice. They're both great accessories. I'd say go for the one you think you'll use the most. I have a 41mm Watch S7 and AirPods 3rd Gen and I love them both, but I use the Watch more believe it or not. It lasts me a day and a half with every feature turned on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
