Over the last few weeks we’ve been flooded with Mac-related rumors, with the most recent chatter focusing on the upcoming MacBook updates. We talked about these reports on the latest episode of our podcast, and that discussion helped give birth to the following post. Here are 3 rumored features I’d really like to see in the upcoming MacBooks.
Microsoft's marketing department is once again exploiting the fact that Apple doesn't seem interested in making a touchscreen Mac so it's put together a new ad. In it, the Windows maker pits the Surface Pro 8 against Apple's freshly-updated MacBook Pro featuring Apple silicon.
As Apple's work on engineering the next wave of hardware refreshes to the Mac lineup continues, a tidbit that appeared in today's Bloomberg report has corroborated earlier whispers which suggest that the next MacBook Pro might bring back the removed memory card slot.
Ever since Apple announced and launched its M1-equipped Mac options, getting Linux up and running on the hardware has been a goal for many a developer. And now it has finally arrived.
Microsoft today announced that customers can download the first beta version of its Edge web browser that now features native Apple silicon support on computers powered by Apple's M1 chip, including the recently updated Mac mini, MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro.
After flipping the server-side switch to start blocking M1 Mac owners from side-loading unsupported iPhone and iPad apps, Apple has now reverted its original decision. As a result, you can once again side-load an unsupported iOS app on a Mac powered by Apple silicon.
It’s not unheard of to see checkra1n team member Luca Todesco Tweeting about some sort of jaw-dropping hacking achievement. Todesco has shown time and time again that he wields magnificent hacking talents, and as of this evening, he appears to be at it again.
In a series of Tweets shared Saturday, Todesco teased multiple photographs of what appears to be pongoOS running on one of Apple’s brand-new M1 chip-equipped Macs.
Earlier this week, Apple seeded the latest developer (and public) beta of macOS 11.2 Big Sur. It didn't come with any major forward facing new features, but it did appear to take one away. It was just a rumor at the time, but now it appears it's officially official.
One of the strengths of the M1-equipped Mac models out there (which are a MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and the Mac mini) is the ability to run iOS apps. However, a change in the latest beta suggests there may be a limitation on the way.
Things have changed all across the globe thanks to the ongoing global pandemic. However, it looks like Apple is still honoring its repair programs, which is good news.
As iDownloadBlog recently reported, some owners of the new Mac computers powered by Apple silicon are experiencing Bluetooth connectivity issues. Apple is aware of the problem and working on a fix which should soon arrive via a macOS software update.
2020 feels forever ago, and it's hard to imagine that in those 12 months I managed to buy two different MacBook Air models. But that's what happens when, at first, you really need to upgrade, and then, by the end of the year, Apple intrigues you enough to grab your interest all over again.
