Hephaestus Posted June 9, 2022 Posted June 9, 2022 So Europe has officially announced that by fall 2024 all smartphones, tablets and cameras have to come with USB-C for charging (source). According to some rumors, chances are that we'll get an iPhone with that port in 2023, a year before the deadline. I'm very very happy about that
Uncatena Posted June 9, 2022 Posted June 9, 2022 they aren’t **** for that introductionary price for the new Air but I want it real bad

Cheers Posted June 9, 2022 Posted June 9, 2022 I regret getting a pro a while back. I love it, I do, (my first macbook!) but I feel like I didn't need it. I should have just gotten an Air! I bought my mom the air and it's so light. I don't even do anything crazy on my macbook so idk why I wanted to pro

I think I am I like my pro but I really don’t need a laptop with all these features The MacBook Air is overkill for the vast majority of people in terms of power. The (non-13 inch) MacBook Pros should not be purchased by anyone unless you know you need it. I only got the M1 Max because I need 64 GB of RAM. If you're a casual user, you basically have no reason to get the 14" and 16" MacBook unless you just want the screen.

Queen. Posted June 10, 2022 Posted June 10, 2022 I really want to upgrade but I will have to wait for this fall for the iPhone 15
UnusualBoy Posted June 10, 2022 Posted June 10, 2022 Do we have any word on the new iPhone, any leaks? The design will be the make-or-break to keep my iPhone 12 mini or upgrade.
GreatCoolBright Posted June 10, 2022 Posted June 10, 2022 Is it worth buying iphone 13 now? Will it support ios16? Sorry i know little about apple universe. Should i wait for the new iphone?

Sure, it's faster than it's Intel and AMD entry level to mid-range competition, but when you go into pro territory, Intel's latest top-tier CPU is actually faster than the M1 Max (but requires a significant increase in power to do so). 8 minutes ago, UnusualBoy said: Do we have any word on the new iPhone, any leaks?

Yes, same design as the 13 and 13 Pro, but the Pro models will get a 48 MP camera and the notch is removed and replaced with a pill and circle shaped cut-out. Only the Pro models will get the A16 processor, while the regular 14 models will get a slightly faster version of the existing A15. Apparently the entire range will have ProMotion instead of just the Pro models. 3 minutes ago, GreatCoolBright said: Is it worth buying iphone 13 now? Will it support ios16? Sorry i know little about apple universe. Should i wait for the new iphone? If you desperately need a new phone now, then get it. However, the 14 will be better. Regardless, the 13 is getting iOS 16 and will probably get 4+ years of major software updates.

I’m a computer scientist, PhD and I do research with deep learning and work with a lot of big data. The models I work with are very RAM-heavy.

Yeah the iPhone 13 will be supported for a good while so if you get one you’ll be fine.
Bussea Posted June 12, 2022 Posted June 12, 2022 my phone keeps asking me to get applecare+. should I? is it worth it?
Sergi91 Posted June 13, 2022 Author Posted June 13, 2022 I got my new Apple Watch S7 44mm from Costco
BtDecember Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 I got the new 14" MacBook Pro with M1 Pro and tbh it was too much power for me (I only watch lecture videos and do use MS Office lol) but I know I will be using the laptop for at least five years. My previous MacBook Pro was the 13" released in 2016 and still works perfectly fine (I sold it to my sister and she LOVES it - she uses it everyday lol). I think the thing with getting the best specs possible is that at least its performance will not depreciate that much over time, just like my old MBP. Plus, it will support future MacOS versions in the future just fine.
ConceptD Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 I’ve had my 2018 MacBook Pro for 3 years and the battery is insane. It’s literally as good as it was the day I got it. Honestly the best laptop I’ve ever owned and I have an MSI gaming laptop that I gave £2500 for and it’s nowhere near as reliable and the battery lasts for like 2 hours.
theweekend Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 my bf early 2014 MBP has gotten this kind of thin vertical line on the retina screen. is he really need to replace the whole screen? this case is exactly the same (placed in the same place on the screen also) as the Mac he owns: https://discussions.apple.com/content/attachment/c58ae043-cd50-4aa9-a768-e0386235cf16

Apple did that My Surface Pro 6 is already laggy a year after I got it and now I barely use it. MacBooks could last up to over a decade which is insane while their counterparts are already in the landfill lol
