So, if you’re in the market for a new #Mac, do you buy now and get the Intel you know, or do you wait and get the #AppleSilicon that’s next? See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .
Rumor has it the #iPhone12 might ship without Apple's EarPods headphones or AC power adapter. If true, what are the possible cost savings, environmental impact, and potential for a port-less iPhone future?

Apple’s Cecilia Dantas, from iOS Product Marketing, and Katie Skinner, user privacy software manager (who you may recall from last week’s keynote) join me for some post #WWDC20 chat. We talk #iOS14’s new home screen experience, including widgets and the App Library, and touch on Messages and Maps, then dive into Apple’s vision for #Privacy and how it’s continuously being implemented for users. Grab some coffee or tea. Make it a double. This is going to be good! See Privacy Policy at https://art1...

During the #WWDC20 keynote, Tim Cook announced that, just like Apple had previously transitioned the #Mac from PowerPC to Intel processors, they’d now be transitioning it from Intel to Apple silicon. So, while there are still a few more Intel Macs that are going to ship, we’re basically at the end of Core i5 or i7 or i9 processors being what powers the Mac, and at the beginning of something like the A-series currently found in the iPad Pro taking over. Here’s what that means, when it’s happening...

There’ve been rumors about Apple prototyping folding iPhones for almost a decade. I first heard about them around the time of the iPhone 4 or 4s. This week the idea of a folding iPhone is back in the news — and with more than a little controversy. So, what does a folding iPhone mean? How would it work? And why would Apple even make one? If not for #iPhone12, then any time thereafter? SPONSOR: CuriosityStream Get a free month of both CuriosityStream and Nebula (my streaming platform) by going to ...
Three months ago, alongside the 2020 iPad Pro and cursor support for iPadOS, Apple announced the Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro. Two months ago, Apple began shipping it and early reviews were mostly positive. Mostly. For some it was… transformative, bringing them closer to the traditional computer and laptop experience they’ve always wanted from the iPad. For others, it just re-ignited the whole existential crises over what even is a laptop or computer. For me… well… SPONSOR: CuriosityStream Ge...
I’m… really conflicted when it comes to the future of the iPad. See, part of me wants what everyone on Tech Twitter and Tech YouTube wants: For the iPad, especially the iPad Pro, to gain every feature still missing when compared to the Mac, so that real nerds can do their real work. But, the other part of me wants what Steve Jobs wanted: To keep the iPad as the iPad, the computer for the vast majority of people who, for decades, were underserved by traditional computers. I know it’s really easy ...
We just got hit by a rumor saying there’ll be a new iMac at WWDC 2020, Apple’s annual world wide developers conference, set to kick off online in just under 2 weeks. Now, while #WWDC is always software focused, there have also been some pretty big hardware announcements there as well, including the Mac Pro in 2019 and the iMac Pro in 2017. So, given all that, what is this next gen #iMac rumor and, more importantly, what does it all mean? SPONSOR: Brilliant Go to brilliant.org/reneritchie and sig...
WWDC 2020, Apple’s annual World Wide Developers Conference, is less than two weeks away. And that means our first look at iOS 14, Apple’s next-generation operating system for the iPhone, is also less than two weeks away. There have already been some reports about just what exactly we might see this year but I think, after the pain of iOS 13 last year, there are also a few things we need to see in #iOS14 year (and, yeah, iPadOS 14 for the iPad as well). And, I’m going to go through all of it. SPO...
Back in 2017, Apple deleted Touch ID and replaced it with Face ID. They didn’t keep both. They didn’t add Face ID to Touch ID. They went to the brave new world of biometrics and burned the old one down behind them. But, the ashes had barely even settled before we started getting rumors of Touch ID’s return. It’s resurrection. Not just in the new iPhone SE, which some people loved precisely because it had Touch ID, but in the flagship iPhones as well. But, why would Apple kill it just to bring it...
Roll-of-the-dice accurate Mac Otakara dropped some rumor bombs this week about a new 4th generation iPad Air. When you combine them with previous rumors from supply chain exfiltrator extraordinaire, Kuo Ming-Chi, and the sometimes lucid LOvetodream Twitter account over the last couple of months, it provides a compelling vision for what might that next gen iPad Air might be. That… or a tantalizing fantasy. SPONSOR: Skillshare The first 1000 of you who go to http://skl.sh/reneritchie will get 2 mo...
It’s been three generations and almost as many years, and not only hasn’t the notch gone away, it hasn’t gotten any narrower or shallower. Not one bit. And some people, well, they still hate its breathing guts. If you’re one of them, throw a like down below and be counted. But, could the #iPhone12, the iPhone 13, any future iPhone really, do anything at all to lessen that pain?

Out of the box, your iPhone tries to strike a balance between security and safety, privacy and convenience. If you have location on, especially for social apps and photos, they can be used to find you and others in case of emergency. But they can also be used to place you and others in situations of tyranny. Videos can help document and prosecute abusers but can also be used to identify and target people standing up to abuse. Online backup can save your data even if your iPhone is taken on damag...
Some of the rumors swirling around the next version of #watchOS7 this June or the next #AppleWatch6 this fall — or both! — concern mental health.

Rumors are making the rounds that the iPhone 12 or iPhone 13 — one of the upcoming iPhones — will finally increase the megapixel count on the camera system to a number greater than 12. With 64 being the flavor of the week. Now, megapixels are all about quantity. They don’t always help, and can even hurt, image quality. There are also rumors of other improvements, even entirely new cameras. Here’s what they all are, how they’d all work, and why Apple may just be considering them. This… is #iPhone...
It may seem like the gap the original iPad mini filled so well has narrowed considerably over the years. I mean, when the mini first launched, the iPhone had just gone 4-inches. But, in short order, Apple went to 4.7 and 5.5-inch Plus displays. Now, 6.5 inches is the Max and, rumor has it, the iPhone 12 might just Max out at 6.7-inches. So, for iPad mini 6, Apple could do what the did with the 12.9-inch iPad Pro and Thanos-snap off half the bezels, keeping the same screen size but making the ove...
Over the last couple of videos I’ve talked about why Apple would make Glasses, basically a face-mounted computational display — and what could actually get people like you and me to buy a pair. One thing I haven’t talked about yet, though, is the developer story… apps. When the original iPhone launched, it came with only the apps Apple had given it. Including the last-minute addition of YouTube. Henri Lamiraux’s software team had just finished a forced march, a marathon of sprints, to get versio...

Will the upcoming iPhone 12 finally, finally see Apple ditch the Lightning connector like it’s a headphone jack and go all-in on USB-C? Apple started switching the Mac over with the 12-inch MacBook in 2015. They only gave it one port but… but… that one port was glorious USB-C, the way nature and nerds intended. Then, the very next year, in 2016, Apple switched the entire MacBook Pro lineup to USB-C as well. The entire lineup. But left the iPhone on Lightning. And… how could they? How could they ...
In 2014, Tim Cook introduced the big and bigger iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, and followed them up with one more thing… the Apple Watch. In 2019, could Tim Cook announce a smaller and bigger iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro Max, and follow them up with one more thing… the Apple Glasses? Now, I’m not as interested in the what or when as I am the how and why. So, this is #iPhone12 and #AppleGlass — The Breakdown. SPONSOR: Brilliant Go to brilliant.org/reneritchie and sign up for free.

I’ve seen a lot of discussion lately about the iPhone — or just phones in general — being quote-unquote “good enough”. That most of them already do most of the things most of the people need most of the time, and Apple, Samsung, Google, and everyone else should just chill out and stop updating them every year. iPhone 12? Who needs it. It’s exhausting. Enough already. But… is it? I mean really? Now, hear me out… Maybe the iPhone, even the hotly rumored upcoming iPhone 12, maybe all current and ex...
Just when I thought I was out… You pulled me back in! Yeah, I did pretty much every single MacBook Pro comparison I could think of. Hit subscribe to see them all. But I didn’t do 16-inch vs. 13-inch, because I figured anyone who wanted the 16-inch would know it. But… that didn’t stop all you all from asking. And asking. And asking. So, this… is the MacBook Pro 13-inch vs. 16-inch — FIGHT! SPONSOR: Brilliant Go to brilliant.org/reneritchie and sign up for free. The first 200 of you who go to this...
There’s been a ton of chatter about the iPhone 12 lately. That’s thanks to the deluge rumors from the likes of Jon Prosser, Kuo Ming-Chi, Mark Gurman, Max Weinbach, and others. I’ve covered some of it before, so hit subscribe and check it out. But, this time, I want to focus on the iPhone 12 display. See, reports are saying that Apple is going all-in on OLED across the full range of iPhone 12 devices. No more LCD on the base model, OLED only the Pro. Also, that Apple is going 120Hz, or ProMotion...
The era of switching from Android to iPhone is over… But is it though? Apple recently released a new iPhone SE that has all the power of an iPhone 11, a camera that can beat out the iPhone XR, Touch ID, and, yeah, a forehead and chin straight out of 2017, but at a price tag of just $399 in the U.S. And it prompted a lot of reaction. Even my pal, Jerry Hildenbrand of Android Central, in an article still making the industry rounds, wrote that the cheapest iPhone has a more powerful processor than ...
