M1X Mac Updated Timeline!
NO ADS + bonus content! CuriosityStream & Nebula for less than $15 a YEAR! https://curiositystream.com/reneritchie/
Apple just announced new AMD RDNA 2-fast-2-furious graphics options for the current Intel Mac Pro. Radeon Pro W6800X single or Duo MPX Module, and a full-on 22.2 teraflop Radeon Pro W6900X hellicarrier of a highest-end card. All available right now.
But, one year into the Apple silicon transition and there’s still not a single, solitary goram ultra-high performance M1X MacBook Pro, iMac, or Mac Pro in sight. Just the ultra low power M1 MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac mini, and iMac. So, where are those Pro-level updates? Or, more importantly, if you’re waiting to buy and trying to decide for how long you can hang on, when are they?

Tim Cook vs Elon Musk — F-Bomb Explained
NO ADS + bonus content! CuriosityStream & Nebula for less than $15 a YEAR! https://curiositystream.com/reneritchie/
Tim Cook calls up Elon Musk. “Good morning. Apple wants to buy Tesla. It’s incredible.” Elon’s into it but, one condition — “I’m CEO!” Ok, two conditions, Apple has to pay in DogeCoins. Kidding! I think! Kinda! Tim’s like, “stay CEO of Tesla? Cool, cool, cool, maybe” But Elon’s like, “Nope, hard nope. CEO of Apple.” Tim eye-rolls 360, “#$%^ off”, and then hangs up… Hangs up.
Wait... what?

iPhone 13 — A15 vs M2!
Start learning with Brilliant (and get 20% off) https://www.brilliant.org/reneritchie
The minute Tim Cook Mission Impossibled an M1 into the iPad Pro, a bunch of you started asking if Apple would Mission Even More Impossibler an M1 into the iPhone 13. But, as I explained, they already did. The M1 is basically just an A14 on Hulk serum. So that made the kind of sense that really, really didn’t. I mean, you can’t just keep the iPhone on the same Apple silicon generation two years in a row. But what about the next generation? What about M2?

Customer Reviews
The best tech (and sprinkles of other tech) podcast!
Love love love this podcast. I’ve been following Rene Ritchie since the early Tipb days (former iMore) and he is my go to source for any tech advice and anything related. Rene is eloquent, unbiased, precise and to the point with a little sprinkle of humor. Proud to see how much Rene Ritchie has grown since becoming an independent tech journalist. Will always follow where ever this channel goes - you can count on that!
Thank you Rene for providing my daily dosage of tech news!!! - when in doubt about my next tech venture, I always ask “what does Rene Ritchie have to say about this?” - I can trust that I’ll find something in your extensive library of topics that will guide me based on your past experiences, opinions and honest feedback. Even my partner has grown a soft spot for your tech updates as I constantly play your podcast on my HomePod on full blast LOL. It’s either that or the YouTube app on my 65in TV with the Bose soundbar on full blast 😅 (you could already imagine when it’s time for some Rene Ritchie updates... it is TIME! The neighbors even know about it 🤣)
Continue being you Rene! 5 Stars!! (And this is only because I can’t rate higher if not this would be 6 stars) 😅😁👏🏼👏🏼 looking forward to the next updates. Woop woop!
*On a side note - Highly recommend you subscribe to Rene Ritchie’s YouTube page especially if you’re a visuals kind of person.
Good stuff lately, but….
You are allowed to do more than a 5-7 minute podcast… I know, go pay somewhere else for more extended content, but I am tuning in here, now.
Maybe you will take advantage of new apple $ and drop more syllables here.
My favorite Podcaster
Rene is amazing and so knowledgeable. You have to give him a listen.
