    Could MagSafe 4.0 include support for data?

    While I like the option for a fast charge and MagSafe's return, I feel that Apple missed the mark with MagSafe 3.0 by not including some basic data transfer options over MagSafe. Does anyone think that this could come at some point in the future, or does this not feel like a feature that would...

    How long until M1 Pro/Max accessories are released?

    I ordered my first new Mac in 8 years this week and am pretty excited to finally upgrade. I noticed that there are no protective cases available yet for the new 14" or 16" MacBook Pros. I searched my heart out and cannot find any information on when these may released by third parties. Does...

    MacBook Pro for music production

    Happy new Mac day! I am trying to determine the best configuration for my 14 in. Pro. Specifically, whether or not the jump from 8 to 10-core CPU is worth the extra 200. I mostly write electronic music, with a heavy focus on synthesizers and lots of DSP effects plug-ins. I am coming from a 2016...

    Poll: How long will it take Apple to add FaceID to Mac notebooks?

    It seems certain that FaceID will come to desktop Macs first, but considering the notch is here, how long do you think it will take for Apple's notebooks to get FaceID?

    How to wipe MacBook Air for resale?

    Pretty newbish question but I'm looking to sell my M1 MacBook Air and need to factory reset it. I assumed this would be a fairly straightforward process, but some of the guides I found online have caused controversy in the comments, so I thought I'd throw the question out here. Thanks!

    A Hypothetical: Would you prefer Apple abandon computers or mobile devices, if forced to choose?

    This is a poll. If forced, would you pick Apple to abandon computers or mobile devices, under a hypothetical situation? A recent thread questioning what seems like more hype over the upcoming MacBook event than the recent iPhone event made me curious about something. I have my own reasons why...

    Thick Singular Line on Screen

    I’ve attached a picture of the problem, there was a spill and I opened it up and cleaned it up. The colour of the line is washed out but when playing a game (heating it up) it changes until it goes away and then reappears darker. This process of changing happens slowly over 10-15 minutes. What...

    Safari 14.1.2 and Macrumors Forum

    Maybe it's just me, but after the latest update 11.6, Safari has become slower, and more sluggish. i.e Macrumors forum eats up 17.49GB of memory?! Do I have a memory leak, or should I bail on Safari? Macbook Pro 2017 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3

    If next Macbook Pros use Mini-LEDs, will that pose PWM issues for sensitive groups?

    I've found it difficult to use iPhones — especially the iPhone 12 — that use OLED screens. The PWM rates are quite low and the effect is noticeable. I have no issue at all with the iPhone 11. I've had some eye strain issues with MacBooks, but generally the experience using them is OK. Now, we...

    Will the M1x MacBook pros be gaming worthy?

    Currently I am faced with a dilemma, which laptop to buy. I need a laptop that I can run all my code and game on it for fun. I sold my gaming console because realized, I could get a laptop like the G15 or Blade 14 5900hx, and if will probably perform better then my ps4 pro. But Apple is in my...

    MacBook Ice Ice Baby.

    Hey, so this is irrelevant regarding my MacBook as it's way out of date, but it can run High Sierra still using Colins tool and could still be an excellent option for web browsing on the go. My MacBook is a 5,1 so it's the first aluminum Unibody and is (generally) no different than the following...

    Dose the M1 Macs still have Kernel_task issue?

    So im really looking forward to getting the 16" M1X MacBook Pro in October / November. I currently have the current 16" which still over heats when doing simple things like viewing twitch and/or 4k YouTube which gets up to 70c no problem. But the biggest issues and most annoying is kernel_task...
