dsavitsk Posted September 10 Report Share Posted September 10 Yet Another iPhone, Dear God: What do you mean, you don’t need four studio-quality microphones? “What a remarkable day of announcements,” CEO Tim Cook said in conclusion, but I struggle to believe that he meant it. This was, let us be honest, merely a day of announcements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted September 10 Report Share Posted September 10 What happened to the M2 iPad? I thought I read where they were going to give the iPad Mundane (easier to say than 'non-Pro, non-Mini, non-Air') the M2 chip. Or is that going to be one of those "silent" releases?

HiWire Posted September 10 Report Share Posted September 10 Yes. There's nothing wrong with the new products, they're simply incremental updates to established phones, watches, and AirPods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, glad to see the time to go from WiFi 6e to 7 is faster than some of their other adoption of standards… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiWire Posted September 10 Report Share Posted September 10 Bluetooth 6 was just announced. I checked the list of new features and most of them aren't particularly exciting for consumers, except the one where it is centimeter-accurate for distance estimation (useful for some gadgets).

HiWire Posted Tuesday at 04:51 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 04:51 PM (edited) I was going through the macOS 15 Sequoia (and iOS 18) reviews today. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/09/macos-15-sequoia-the-ars-technica-review/ Not a lot of interesting features, in my opinion. They seem to be catchup updates, enhancing usability, security, and fixing bugs. The promised AI features are late and they will be added to macOS later. OpenCore Legacy Patcher (OCLP) updated to 2.0.1 recently. They've detected problems running the new macOS with 2018 MacBook Air and 2008 Mac Pro/Xserve, but otherwise things look fine. People have been running macOS 15 betas on OCLP for a few months so far. https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/releases https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/macos-15-sequoia-on-unsupported-macs-thread.2428654/ I'd recommend anyone with older Macs (pre-2018, generally) to hold off on upgrading to Sequoia for a few months at least, whether officially supported or not. People seem to say macOS 14 Sonoma works quite well on unsupported Macs with OCLP. Your mileage may vary. macOS 14 Sonoma and 13 Ventura (and iOS 17) also got some security updates today.
