Apple adding RCS support won’t necessarily end green vs blue bubbles. They can still absolutely treat RCS messages differently vs iMessage… BUT it does help with encryption and higher file size support between Android and iPhones 👍🏾
I've used the original M1 chip extensively and I've been powering through my workflow tests with this new fully spec'd M3 Max and here's my biggest takeaway...
We have never had computing this good at *every* budget level. I do pro video + photo work and can easily get by with an M1 Mac Mini... or I can go all out and maybe save a few minutes of post-production time with the M3 Max machine (which for a pro user adds up to monumental savings long term) but there hasn't been a single moment with this 128gb ram M3 Max machine where i've said "THATS INSANE!" - because I said that over and over again with the M1. It's like shaving a couple seconds off an F1 lap... you're still flying.
Fast... is faster.
But imagine complaining about a laptop "falling short" simply because it's previous version... was also good? Even if it's neck and neck with a previous model with minor improvements, it's still more than nearly anyone needs and there's a machine for literally everyone that is fully capable.
Apple called this laptop a beast, but all of these machines have been beasts since they came out. I remember waiting all night to export a client project on intel, only to have to wait through another night when revisions came through. When I got my first M1 I was doing that while I drafted the changes email.
The current computer market reminds me of cameras - We're just nitpicking for the sake of making content, stirring the pot just to have something to say. Maybe shut up and just create? If you can't get the work done you want with any modern equipment now that's entirely on you.
@samkohl The initial public response will be the same as when lighting was added. Some people will rant and say it’s not necessary but within a couple years the majority of people won’t be bothered
Just imagine a glass of beer half full. The pessimist is sad because half of the beer is already gone, the optimist is happy because there’s still half of the beer, and the nihilist just drinks it and gets another one. Doesn’t think about all that stuff and just enjoys the beer.
