We are 2 years away from a 3nm chip. The m1 is a 5nm chip so the upgrade in speed from m1 to “m2” is going to be negligible. Kind of like the 2020 iPad Pro over the 2018 iPad Pro. Next year we will see a slightly faster m1x or m2 and micro led across both 12” and 11”. I think apple will stick with micro led for iPads while using Oled for phones simply because screen burn in would be more noticeable on a larger screen like iPad.
I believe the Ming rumors that Macbook Pros are going OLED. Because Samsung makes all OLED panels for Laptops no matter the brand. And Samsung has the capacity to offer Apple a no Burn in Gurantee where Samsung will offer Apple no cost replacement OLED panels, just to squash out competition and secure a larger foothold as an OLED panel supplier. In hand Samsung’s 12.4” Tab S7+ with a 120hz OLED display can’t be beat.
Renee Ritchie’s videos are okay, he’s definitely a little drama queen though. The way he conducts himself and those hideous click bait style thumbnails. iJustine is similar. No talent or skills, her claim to fame was a huge AT&T bill from shortly after the iPhone launched in 2007, Apple gives her stuff as long as she sings praise for them.
No question. I still have my original 2015 iPad Pro, it gets some casual use. I also have a 2018 iPad Pro, and even something like the Pro Motion display (higher refresh rate) will be noticeable in your usage. Outside of that I think you will still notice things being faster and more responsive— it’s a substantial update to go from the original Pro to the 2021— not only from raw horsepower but also just the rest of the hardware— I bet you’ll find the screen looks better, the speakers sound better, and if you use the camera— you may notice that too. USB-C / Thunderbolt also opens some possibilities that weren’t really as practical on the 2015 model w/ its lightning port.
Should be no issues... the M1 is just a revision of the A12 series, albeit better in every way, it's not new architecture and anything that runs on the A12 will run on the M1, and vice versa (as long as Apple allows support that is).
no, the tansition was between intel x86 to arm M1, and thats why rosetta 2 was/is needed
It was a paper launch and the embargo is still in place. The reviews will come, probably the week of the 21st
In support of Rene’s channel which I have been following from the beginning, he’s not really a product reviewer, per se. At least not like many of his peers on YouTube. He focuses more on technologies in general and big picture decision making by Apple and others and how that effects products, consumers, etc. If you want to get a sense for why Apple may make certain decisions about product, Rene is great for that.
Hate it or love it.
I agree his thumbnails can be awful. I've been familiar with Rene since his days at iMore... I think he was worst back then, he was heavily biased toward Apple products. Although, he favors Apple... but he attempts to be objective at times. But as @jmgregory1 points out... he does provides some solid information.
