MacBook Air throttling
Roman recently wrote an article about all thehot air being blown about the so - foretell throttling issuewith the MacBook Air . It seems to be a hot topic .
A Macworld reader ( name withheld upon postulation ) sent an e-mail with the following point :
James Wagers sent an email with a different take :
[ Roman ] aver that everyone knows the MacBook Air is for the most part targeted at student , and yet there are many dissimilar kinds of students , including computer graphic intent major like my daughter who use the Adobe suite and even video recording editing apps . Engineering student may also utilize apps that are very taxing on the computer . They ask of a immobile and spark and small priced figurer to do their unspoiled at schooltime . It ’s undisputable that this data processor is targeted at college students . Therefore , to say that the only people who should expend the MacBook Air are people who do occasional web browsing or Microsoft word processing or Garage Band is a blemished understanding of what this computer is about .
Next , you could not criticize anyone for conduct brief examination of 8 K feature film because Apple itself boast those 8 K characteristic inherent to the M2 fleck ! And although I jibe that if you ’re going to do that kind of work as your basal job , you should get a gamey end MacBook Pro for that , but the fact remain that it is only coherent to test out the lineament inherent to any give Apple product that Apple emphasizes its own advertising .

No one cares about the A16
In July , Jason wrote anarticle that foretell what we could expect from the A16 , the C.P.U. that will probably be in the iPhone 14 . However , it seems that there ’s a vocal issue of readers who do n’t prioritize the central processor when decide whether to kick upstairs or not .
Folding iPhones
Our colleague David Price drop a line acolumn about the fold phone marketand Apple ’s absence in said market . David points out that Apple does n’t care about being first to marketplace ; it prefers to be the good in the market place . But it ’s a little odd that we have n’t heard much at all alfresco of patent of invention filings about a pen up iPhone . Some readers really do n’t wish about it .
AirPods: Buh-bye to Lightning
Rumor has it that next year , Apple will exchange the AirPods’Lightning connector with USB - C. This probably has to do with the European Union ’s law that makes USB - C mandatary as the charging port wine on devices . I picked this tale because I think people would not be sad to see Lightning go , but at least a twosome of proofreader on Twitter think otherwise .
