About 2 months ago, Apple mass dropped a brand new Intel and AMD iMac on us. TrueTone display, nano-texture option, 10th generation Comet Lake processors, Radeon Pro RDNA 5000 graphics, up to 128GB of RAM, 8TB of SSD, a 1080p camera that’s no longer a potato, more like… I don’t know.. tasty, tasty, poutine, much better microphone, and a T2 co-processor for real-time encryption, image and audio signal processing, and more.




But it was also about 2 months *after* Tim Cook announced the advent of Apple Silicon Macs. So… yeah… awkward… maybe? Especially if you’re judge-judy-slapping-your-watch-waiting-dot-gif for those new Apple Silicon Macs, some models of which might take up to 2 years to get here.




And if you need to do real desktop-class work right now, big screen, big silicon, big Bootcamp or Windows VM especially, and yeah, big budget if you take that iMac to just… iMax, how well will last of the Intel and AMD iMacs do for you?




Well, I’ve got Mary Spender of YouTube, Nebula, and music fame with me right here, we’re going to tell you all about it, and we’re going to do it right now!

Apple Watch 6 Review! Go to https://www.brilliant.org/reneritchie and sign up for FREE. First 200 also get 20% the annual Brilliant subscription!

 

Apple’s got a brand new Watch Series 6. It’s packing a blood oxygen sensor, always-on altimeter, 5Ghz Wi-Fi, U1 ultra low band, more power, and set of new finishes, including Product RED and blue. But is it the right Apple Watch for you?




That question actually has a couple of different answers. One, if you’ve never had an Apple Watch before. The other, if you have, up to and including last year’s Series 5.




So, I’m going to break down everything that’s new with the Apple Watch Series 6, and then dive into everything that’s critical if the Apple Watch in general is new to you.




And I’m going to do it right now.

A14 Chipset Explained! Go to https://www.brilliant.org/reneritchie and sign up for FREE. First 200 also get 20% the annual Brilliant subscription!

 

Apple has just announced the A14 Bionic system-on-a-chip (SoC) for the brand new iPad Air, and whether or not that new Air excites you, that A14 sure should, because it’s almost certainly going to be the exact same chip we’re getting in this year’s iPhone 12 as well. And the same IP generation we’ll be getting with the first-ever Apple Silicon Mac.




Yeah, you knew there was a reason Apple only teased us with the new iPad Air but isn’t actually letting us get our hands — and our favorite geeky benches — on it until next month.




Still, we already know quite a few things about the A14. More than you might think. And I’m going to break it all down for you, right now!
