I bought M2 Mac a month before M3 and now you’re telling me M4 is coming. That was like 6 months ago.

Looks like the camera is worth the upgrade from my 14 Pro Max to the 16 Pro Max. Now to find the $…

M4 was first released in an iPad Pro a few months back. Think we’ll see yearly release cycles for MacBooks (like the phones) driven by competition from Qualcomm (snapdragon chips). Not bad for the consumer, especially if the previous gen gets a discount.

I’m looking to pickup an M2 air for one of the kids (still using an Intel Air).

I suppose you’ll trade in the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Thing is for 95% of consumers an m2 chip MacBook will do you just fine

System update in progress…sorry will be ten years from now

I love my MacMini M2 absolutely blazes my previous mini and with a SSD cold start is like seconds.

I am not going all in one Macs anymore, love the displays but one component fails and can make the whole unit inoperable.

I love the all in ones. Minimum of fuss.

I’ll be pre-ordering my new iPhone tomorrow.

I hope you’re not an even more conformist Samsung phone user.

Phones are an exception, not keen of walking around with a seperate screen for my phone, actually thats not a bad idea, just have the processor in a seperate device attached somewhere or in your pocket permanently , means the screen is just that the screen, which could make it any size you want really. Obviousally it would have to pair wirelessly

The reference to the phone was unrelated to the previous comment. I’ve got an iMac too and I love it. So elegant.

They are, I have had from 1998, the first Bondi blue iMac right through to the last the 27" intel iMac .
Just finding the mini an affordable option if you already have a decent screen.

Edit : Actually goes further back than that this was my first and it is my actual one, the Mac Classic, just recently recapped right through by myself. And another SE

For anyone who has even a casual knowledge of Star Trek, the current mobile phones of today were always destined to become the tricorders of the future.

All of human knowledge contained in a small hand-carried device.

Eventually, your phone will be your only needed computer, and you’ll connect it to a larger screen and input device when needed. Or just use the in-built projector for a larger screen.

Imagine having to upgrade your eyes every time a new update comes along

Yes. Of course, Apple reduced the trade-in price from $650 last week to $500 this week :frowning:

Imagine the upset when your favourite colour gets dropped from the lineup.

I jumped on the Telstra site and it told me that the phone’s IMEI means that my iPhone 14 Pro can’t be traded in. Will find out why next time I head into the Big Smoke (Warrnambool).

Some phones already, or at least did, do that. IIRC the old windows phones you used to be able to dock to a monitor and use it as a windows based computer.

Microsoft also badly missed the point that you need different interfaces for different things.
