No ads and bonus content! Get CuriosityStream AND Nebula for less than $15/y https://curiositystream.com/reneritchie I was chatting with Jacklyn from NothingButTech for another project, a secret project, something I’m working hard on and I’ll tell you about as absolutely soon as I can, but we ended up on this tangent about iMessage for Android — whether Apple would do it but, more importantly, whether Apple should do it… and how. And, since she’s way beyond 9000 IQ, well, we just had to share it...

Get CuriosityStream AND Nebula for less than $12/y (41% off!) https://curiositystream.com/reneritchie Ok. This one has everything. Drama. Tech. Rumors. Salt. So much salt. First, it was a sketchy rumor about Project Titan, the Apple Car, going into production next year. Then it was a slightly less sketchy report about production actually starting in 2024 or 2025, and with newfangled battery tech to go with it. But no one seemed to fact-check the newfangled-ness of that report, because when someo...

There’s a fresh story out of randomly accurate rumor site, DigiTimes, saying Apple is once again working on minimizing the Notch, this time for the iPhone 13. Meanwhile, ZTE has just shipped the first phone with no nightmare of a notch, no punchole, no forehead, no mechanical choocher. But with the dream — an actual under-display camera system. That’s… still kind of a nightmare. Either way, any...

Economic Daily News is out with a fresh report that sideswipes its way into saying Apple may just put an M-series chip into iPads… presumably the next iPad Pro. And… maybe even a 3 nanometer M-series chip, even more advanced than the current M1. An M2 or M3 maybe. So, I’m just going to read through the report and give you my reactions, live to video.

Get CuriosityStream AND Nebula for less than $12/y (41% off!) https://curiositystream.com/reneritchie In this video, I’m going to explain to you why Apple absolutely will not tell you how much RAM is in an iPhone. Why they will hide how many milliamp hours the battery is. Why even the clock speed of their custom chipsets isn’t listed on the spec sheet. And why you can’t even turn your own AirPods on or off your own self. And I’m going to so it — right now! See Privacy Poli...

Multitouch Macs?! Get CuriosityStream AND Nebula for less than $15/y (26% off!) https://curiositystream.com/reneritchie I think Apple should bring multitouch, capacitive touch screens to the Mac and that, post-iPhone, any screen that doesn’t respond to touch is just going to feel broken. John Gruber of Daring Fireball and The Talk Show fame thinks macOS and Mac hardware just aren’t optimized for touch and adding it would only make the Mac worse. So, we’re going to argue about it. From macOS Big ...

Google Chrome might just be thrashing performance on your Mac. And I’m going to explain why, how, and most importantly — what you can do about it. And I’m going to do it, right now. Because… this is a breaking controversy, with some people ready throw Chrome in a burning trash fire and others saying there’s no proof, and even talking about it is reckless and shameful.

Putting the M-Series in Mac Pro! Also, get $25 off your cell phone bill at http://rene.ting.com ! The Apple Silicon Mac Pro. Yeah, the… Raid Boss of Apple’s new M-series of Macintosh computers. The biggest, the best, the badest, the most expensive, and almost certainly the last of Apple’s massive chipset transition. So… how will an iPad-based system on a chip-scale all the way up to what’s currently a modular, massively multicore Xeon and AMD graphics card capable monster? I have some ideas! See...

Why, M1? Get CuriosityStream AND Nebula for less than $15/y (26% off!) https://curiositystream.com/reneritchie In this video I’m going to tell you exactly why Apple’s brand new M1 chipset is just kicking the ever-loving silicon out of Intel right now, kicking them right out of the low power, entry-level Macs and, in some cases, posting results that just clown even higher power, higher-end PCs. Why? Because of Apple's heavy investment in integrated, scalable architecture. That's what lets them co...
