    iMac M1 + M3 - USB-C accessories

    Hey, I've talked with Apple Support to get a trackpad for my green 2021 iMac and they say that I can order it with USB-C, so i think that means all the accessories you want to order for your M1/M3 iMac are now USB-C, so you don't have to upgrade for these accessories (especially as the back...

    How does GoFetch work?

    Greetings - This is my first post here. I am strongly considering buying an M3 MacBook Air 15 inch to replace my mid-2015 MacBook Pro. However, the stories about GoFetch gave me pause. I know that it is all very theoretical and not an actual threat at this time, but I had two questions to...

    M3 vs M4

    From the announcement of iPad Pros today, M4 also launched on my months after M3. Most comparisons were with M2 iPads but a couple things I tease apart: - 2nd gen 3nm (N3E?) - “new display engine enables stunning precision, color, and brightness” - Neural cores: 18 vs 38 TOPS On device AI is...

    Recommended to get bigger SSD when choosing more RAM? / Hibernate on Mac

    Hey all, I'm curious how hibernate works on the MacBook Pros... I'm used to Windows reserving the amount of RAM in Gigabytes on the SSD, so that it can copy the content from the RAM to the SSD when hibernating. How does that work on the MacBook Pros / in MacOs? I'm about to buy a MacBook Pro...

    I have a feeling USB C magic keyboard, Mouse and trackpad coming along side new M3 Mac mini

    Something tells me that the new magic, keyboard, trackpad, and mouse with USB-C that we were expecting with the new iMac is going to be released alongside the new Mac mini with the M3 chip. Of course, Apple will announce it alongside their desktop that doesn’t come with any mouse and keyboard to...

    Why Apple lost my sale on new MacBook Pros tonight

    That's essentially how my chat sales support went down this evening. What a pile of crap. Add this to other frustrations: 8 core, 11 core, 12 core, 14 core, or 16 core CPU? 10 core, 14 core, 18 core, 30 core, or 40 core GPU? 8GB, 16GB, 18GB, 24GB, 36GB, 48GB, 64GB, 96GB, or 128GB RAM? And you...

    Yearly Upgrades of M-series Chips

    Given the recent rumors on Apple releasing the M3 chip at the same time as M3 Pro and M3 Max, I believe this indicates that Apple is going to upgrade the M-series chips on a yearly basis from now on. Yearly upgrades may give Apple a continuum leading on benchmarks on any given quarter, as Intel...

    A19 and M5 chips confirmed by Apple's servers?

    If you follow aaronp613's X/Twitter, as I'm sure MacRumors editors do, you may have seen this post from him that quotes a post from Orangera1n. Said post contains a screenshot of a list of numbers that supposedly confirms Apple is working on A-series chips up to the A19 and M-series chips up to...

    M2 Pro vs M3

    Hi! I know there are no guarantees, but based on the normal progression of these chips, do you feel the regular M3 chip will be faster than than the M2 Pro? My two options are getting a Mac Mini with the M2 Pro or waiting for an iMac with an M3 if/when it comes out (I'd prefer an iMac with the...
