Apple’s promotional video reveals a target audience for its beefed up 16-inch MacBook Pro

Apple's new 16-inch MacBook Pro is a great little machine with some excellent hardware and awesome build-to-order upgrades, but who is it really aimed at? Creative pros, I know — hence the "Pro" suffix, and Apple itself says the new MacBook Pro is "ready for your best work ever" — but exactly what kinds of professional needs is this $2,400+ notebook capable of fulfilling?

A fully loaded 16-inch MacBook Pro will run you $6,099, but you get a lot of bang for your buck

Apple today dropped a new 16-inch MacBook Pro which has replaced the phased-out 15-inch MacBook Pro, simplifying Apple's lineup a bit. I immediately visited Apple's online store to max out the pricier $2,799 configuration with all the available hardware upgrades, ending up with a fully loaded $6,099 machine that offers lots of bang for the buck (at least on paper).

This tweak gives you the iOS 13 ringer/silent HUD on iOS 12

One of my favorite upgrades in iOS 13 is the updated ringer/silent HUD. Rather than taking up the entire center of the display, iOS 13’s ringer/silent HUD appears near the top, and it looks much sleeker with its smaller footprint and subtle colorization.

If you’re jailbroken on iOS 12 instead of iOS 13, then you might be excited to learn about a newly released jailbreak tweak called XIIIHUD-Mute by iOS developer XCXiao, as it ports the iOS 13 ringer/silent HUD experience to the older mobile operating system. Examples of the tweak are depicted in the screenshot examples above.
