M2 Ultra has 134,000,000,000 transistors, which puts it very nicely on this logarithmic scale straightening exponential growth to a nice perfect line. You need to stop looking only at CPU benchmarks, the additional transistors are nowadays used for all kinds of computation.
I do hope they change it with the M3, I understand the hardware reason on it but it just sucks in general. I'd opt for a 13/15 Air if it had dual display.
No i didn’t, the iPad Pro is very thin and the magnetic charging point for the Apple Pencil leaves a weakness in the structure. Some of apples thinnest products can bend over time, they’ve made fixes structurally to some but others still have small issues. I wouldn’t want my iPad thicker but I’m just saying there are going to be trade offs if you go super thin.
Sure, aluminium is a soft metal, it is bendable. But does the iPad bend from normal use? I don't think so. My M1 iPad Air didn't bend all by itself. Making the device a little thicker than it needs to be probably saves Apple a lot of repair costs, but making it as light as possible mainly benefits the user experience. When you look at the new iMac design, it's sad that the MacBooks didn't benefit at all from the new processors. They even look bulkier than before, like an 80s Mercedes.
I’m not sure how it ended up bent, I carried it around in a case inside of a backpack for a time and its possible that the pressure from the books in the backpack caused it to bend but that isn’t that abnormal a use case.
Yeah so far its closer to two years than one year at this point, if you look at release date (when you could buy it) rather than announced date we have:
