    What’s the max WiFi speed you have gotten with any of the new iPads? they have the Intel modem which is notorious for being trash. I have 450 mbps internet, my Mac mini, iPhone 12 Pro, Apple TV 4th gen all achieve this max speed. My iPad Air 4 can only reach 270 mbps max. My previous iPhone XS...

    This is how my day is going so far...

    So, yesterday I received in my first MacBook Pro. I don't have a lot of money, so I bought a 15" 2010 with the first generation i5. Not bad for what I use it for, mostly web browsing! I have been getting by with a late 2008 13" MacBook unibody that suffered from random freezes often. So I get...

    Mac Silicon - What do you expect from the first Mac SoCs?

    Hey everyone! Pretty new here! I'm excited to see what the Apple silicon team will deliver for the first Mac SoC. It's a chance for Apple's silicon team to take the Mac far beyond the capabilities and performance of generic x86 competition in the PC space. I feel many tech enthusiasts are...

    I have the model number NTAR2LL/A. Anyone know if this is the Intel or Qualcomm kind of iPhone XS? I tried googling, but nothing comes up with that model number. Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/8aOGWXN.png

    iPhone 8/Plus iPhone 8 - New modem?

    Does anyone know if the modem in the iPhone 8, unlocked, Apple store version is still being made with the Qualcomm modem (for the US market)? I know in Germany, Apple was forced to use the Intel modem for all the iPhone 8 devices, but I'm not sure if that applies here in the US.

    This thread is a continuation of discussion starting on Page 2 of the "Backdrop - Distraction-free tool for classic Mac OS" thread, regarding the Management Engine (ME) included in firmware of x86/64 Intel (and possibly other?) CPU's. Many of these chips are running in early Intel-based Macs...

    MP 7,1 Thoughts - New AMD Epyc Server CPU's, benefit MP 7,1?

    AMD has been on a roll as of late with its new consumer/prosumer CPU's, but I didn't even see coming was a server CPU from AMD. From what I read and seen the new AMD Epyc server CPU out performs Intel's current Xeon's both in price and performance. It got me thinking, if AMD's Epyc server CPU's...

    What will happen to TB3 ports if Apple moves to ARM chips?

    I wonder this question for the last few days. Thunderbolt interface was designed with both intel and Apple together. What will happen to these ports if Apple use its own ARM based A chips in the next MacBooks? There will be totally different chipsets and how Intel will let Apple use the...

    iMac Pro in 2019/2020?

    Intel's roadmap for Xeon processors is continuously changing, albeit their last official position is to refresh the line every 4/5 quarters. It seems that Cooper Lake will arrive in Q4 2019/Q1 2020, while it seems that Ice Lake 10nm Xeons will have to wait till the end of 2020. The premise is...

    2006: Apple introduced the Intel Mac Pro (Video)

    Just saw this on YouTube: And I was surprised by how differently Apple behaved back then compared to now. The Mac Pro was all about being upgradeable, with plenty of space inside, with an assortment of ports and PCI slots for full sized GPUs that can take up two slots. But most amazingly, the...

    iMac 2019 runs occasionally at 100°C? [Merged]

    With my former iMac I never bothered looking at things like temperatures and fan speeds. They said it just works, and it always did. But now in 2019 with all the stories about thermal throttling I wanted to see for myself if my new i9 iMac runs as smoothly as everyone says. I installed TG Pro...

    2019 Ice Lake MBA?

    From everything I have been reading about Ice Lake over the last few months, it stands that the MBA might be one of the biggest beneficiaries in Apple’s notebook lineup from Ice Lake. What can we reasonably expect from Ice Lake, other than LPDDR4 RAM support and it’s 11th gen iGPU sporting over...

    Without Qualcomm, at least I don't have to consider the iPhone anymore

    At least without Qualcomm models of the iPhone, I don't even have to consider it as an option anymore, and I can go ahead with the Note 9 with no regrets. I simply can't buy a phone that isn't going to get good reception. I got an SE on sale, so I have a toy phone, and I could use it on AT&T...

    Microcode questions

    So, I see some threads here in the forum about updating microcodes, and they quickly gather many posts from folks who are apparently more up to date on the benefits of updating such. I thought that perhaps the rest of us might benefit if those most knowledgeable would be able to enlighten us...
