Is it just me or does this Gurman reporting not make sense to anyone else. It this is true (and I am reading it correctly) we would get:
- 14” M6 MacBook Pro with same design, MiniLED, simple replacement for current M5 version
…
An “easy” list of refinements I see happening on the next #iPhoneDuo that make me less interested in the 1st gen:
- thermals (larger vapor chamber)
- main camera (larger sensor, support for ProRes, ProRaw, etc.)
- Action Button
- Face ID
- Apple Pencil that attaches and charges
I know it’s unlikely but I wish #iPadmini would go full “Pro” at next week’s #ProandTell event.
- Promotion OLED (preferably Tandem OLED but that is even less likely)
- higher quality (quad?) Speakers
- Face ID
- Vapor Chamber
PCIe 4x4 and TB4 would be cool but require M chip
I was never gonna get the 256GB configuration on the #iPhone17ProMax because it uses slower storage but I think I might be fine getting “just” 512GB in the future, especially with 1 and 2TB configurations on the #iPhone18ProMax now being held back by QLC storage.
If you listen to #iPhoneDuo reviews criticizing the lack of optimized apps (days before the phone is even out) you could think that Apple never got 16:9 Apps working on iPhone 5 and we were forever stuck with 3:2 aspect ratio Apps from the iPhone 4 and 4s. 🤦♂️
M5 Max already doubles the GPU performance of my M1 Max but it would also be really cool if a 24core M7 Pro/ M8 Pro with massive bandwidth improvements could deliver the same 2x or even higher compute levels (and way more in AI and RT tasks) with much lower power consumption.
Pretty cool to think that when I get a M7/M8 device I will get double the Single Core performance of my already very smooth and responsive M1 Max MacBook Pro

I might react to this tomorrow or the day after 🤔

Maybe there is some intelligent life on this platform after all 😆
