Comment: Apple's Spring Loaded Event – The Good the Bad... And Almost No Ugly

Like its predecessor, the MacBook Air M2 doesn't come with an active cooling system. For this reason, the chip can't run at full capacity without interruption – for its own safety, performance has to be throttled. But what would happen if your device possessed a larger thermal pad? A new test video reveals the answer.

Modern iMacs come with a very handsome Retina display, and so it makes sense that some users might want to use it as an external monitor for their newer devices. There are several options for those interested, we'll detail them all in this article.

iFixit just deconstructed the new MacBook Air to take a look at its interior components. Earlier generations were frequently criticized for the fact that everything was glued together – making repairs difficult to impossible. Has the situation improved?

The MacBook Air does not possess any fans, making for a quieter running experience – with the tradeoff being performance throttling (temporarily lowered clock rate) to prevent excessive heat development during operation under extended CPU and GPU load. To what extent does this affect the new M2-generation? Recent data provides an answer.

With word of a new, more affordable Netflix subscription model in the works, it's still unknown exactly how it will work upon release. But now, there's a new important announcement – with Netflix contracting Microsoft to help handle the matter.

Elon Musk, known for Tesla and SpaceX – and a recent publicity stunt to buy out Twitter, has recently backed out of his contractual obligation to purchase the social media company. However, the short messaging service won't let him do so without an appearance in court.

Apple has begun providing customers with information concerning the expected deliveries of their new MacBook Air M2 devices. The shipment confirmations prognosticate a timely receipt – although devices have frequently come a day early in the past.

The first beta versions of a new Apple software release are only available for developers. After a developer-exclusive beta period for iOS 16 and macOS Ventura, Apple is now expanding the pool. The public beta has finally started, meaning that members of the public testing program can now download pre-release builds.

Elon Musk had big plans for the purchase of micro-blogging service Twitter – had being the operative word. Twitter, however, points to the contract the controversial, and maybe even somewhat unstable, CEO signed – with the resulting argument to become a matter for the court.

The Mac Studio only entered the Apple lineup no more than a few months ago, however, there are already references concerning the next generation. The timing is unusual, especially given that there have been no rumors concerning any updates to the device.

Not everyone is necessarily thrilled about the fact that Apple will begin delivery of the new MacBook Air M2 in a few days. According to information from industry insider sources, one report claims that the Wintel market (Windows/Intel) sees the notebook as a threat to its own sales figures.

Upon the release of its relatives, the iMac 27” did not receive the same M1 (or even M2) chip treatment. The model disappeared entirely from the Apple lineup, with the official statement that it would be discontinued. However, various sources including Mark Gurman from Bloomberg now report that the device could in fact make a return.

Although there's yet to be an official confirmation from Apple, according to a report, this is soon to come. The MacBook Air should be available for sale as early as next week, with shipments beginning one week thereafter.

A short while ago, even Qualcomm was convinced that Apple's ambitious project would lead to a market-ready product in record time after the success of the M1.

How much does it matter that the 256 GB SSD in the MacBook Pro M2 is slower than the SSD in the MacBook Pro M1? Experience reports and benchmarks provide some very clear results, with a rather sobering answer further questioning the grounds for the M2 device's very existence.

The lockdown is finally over and as of now, select press representatives may disclose their first experiences – which in this case... are quite lacking, to say the least. Apart from the new M2 chip's performance, there's plenty of criticism for the "confusing notebook".

The first iPhone arrived on the market 15 years ago and was released in the US in June 2007. Although Apple was not the first to invent the product category, it did help to pioneer touch operated devices and was the first to recreate the category and launch a widely successful product.

Apple has enabled iPhone and iPad owners to delete various, undesired yet pre-installed apps (which wasn't originally possible until years after iOS' original release) for some time now. Cupertino will yet again expand this list for iPhone and iPad with iOS 16's release, with the list of removable apps soon to number 30.
