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

The slanderous Intel campaign against the new M1 Macs continues. Intel seems to have invested most of its marketing resources into a battle against a new chip manufacturer with less than 1% share of the market – with more than crude argumentation.

Apple created quite the disruption with the M1: The in-house Apple processor offers extremely high-performance along with unparalleled energy efficiency, setting not only established CPU manufacturers under pressure – but also forcing them to dig in their heels for competition.

With eyes-wide-open, the Apple world awaits the announcement of the next Mac to get the M1 makeover. Now, indications have arisen as to which Mac that might be – thanks to a crash report to an iMac equipped with ARM architecture.

Now, this is certainly a surprise, Apple has discontinued the original HomePod – with no current plans for a replacement. According to reports, Cupertino plans to concentrate efforts on the more successful HomePod mini.

The black HomePod is no longer available on the Online Apple Store in The United States. Apple has declared it unavailable on the product page, leading to quite the speculation as to whether a new version is in the works or not.

An iMac with Apple's new in-house M1 chip isn't yet available – officially at least. Hardware wizard and YouTuber "Luke Miani". In his recently published YouTube video, he covers what was required, how well the computer works, and why it's a bit of a "Frankenstein".

A rough look at Apple's chip manufacturing partner, TSMC, is able to reveal a great deal concerning the future of Apple's chips. A report lays out the next 3 years, with direct outcomes for Apple's product policy.

The scent of a March event being brewed by Apple has been traveling around for quite some time now, although it's still unclear what Apple plans to present. Now, leaker Jon Prosser claims that Apple will finally show off the AirTags and new iPad Pro models.

The cries for popcorn can be heard in comment sections and forums online as Intel reignites the Mac vs. PC war. The former production-partner is trying yet again to make Apple look bad by presenting the Mac in limited light.

A well-known graphics design artist, who has made several past renderings of upcoming Apple products, has now come forth with renderings of the upcoming "Apple View" headset based on rumored design. According to tech-site, "The Information", these renderings should be relatively accurate.

The sale of the HomePods began 3 years ago – since then, there's not been much to hear about the speaker. It wasn't until the release of the HomePod mini that Apple tried to renew interest in the speaker. Now, we'll take a look back at 3 years of the Apple smart speaker.

Is your personal setup, a 16" MacBook Pro with 4 external monitors, not enough? Have you ever wanted 3 more monitors – and entirely portable to boot? Well, Expanscape has a laptop for you in the form of a laptop with 7 displays (so you can watch 7 different iterations of the same Netflix show) and a considerable amount of weight.

There's unfortunate news for those who've already started driving their new Apple Car in their dream: According to CNBC, the 1st generation will target public transportation rather than end customers.

The Apple-1, designed by Jobs and Wozniak using wooden housing, is exceptionally rare. Working models are far and few between (if at all findable). One is now for sale for $1.5 million USD.

More and more information about the Apple Car keeps leaking, according to which, there's no way that Apple plans to build its new car "from the ground up". Ming Chi-Kuo now reports that the car will build upon an existing Hyundai platform – and that Apple will cooperate with GM and PSA in the long term for regional markets.

Apple AirPods are infamous for their difficulty to repair, with iFixit giving them 0/10 points in the "repairability" category. Officially speaking, it's impossible to replace the batteries – but this hasn't kept people from trying. Below is a video detailing how to do so.

Last quarter ended with enormous sales for a product type that hasn't seen much attention from customers in the last few years – the tablet. Thanks to the current situation, tablets are a hit on the market again – including the iPad.

In comparison to current chips from Intel and AMD, Apple's M1 is a true miracle when it comes to energy efficiency and thermal properties – according to countless benchmarks and practical tests. Now, how does Apple Silicion's performance compare to that of previous computers from Cupertino?

How long does the Air Pods Max's battery last during simultaneous audio playback and noise-cancellation? Can 90 minutes worth of usage really be charged in just 5 minutes? A test answers these questions and also determines how long the headphones hold their charge – with and without the Smart Case.

A new ad from Microsoft is causing quite the discussion, clearly achieving the goal of every advertisement in at least one aspect. As for its comparison of the Surface Pro to the MacBook Pro? Lacking.
