This iOS 26 change could make it Apple’s most surprising update yet

9to5mac.com Chance Miller 2025-08-30 10:15:00

With iOS 26, Apple has made a key strategy shift: it’s no longer pre-announcing major new features that won’t be available for months to come. Here’s why I think that’s a great decision by Apple, and why it could make for an exciting 12 months.

Earlier this week, Ruoming Pang, the executive who until recently led Apple’s AI models team, left the company to join Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta Superintelligence Labs, or MSL. Now, as reported by Bloomberg, we know just what it took to lure him away. An offer Pang couldn’t refuse (and that Apple couldn’t match) According to the report, Meta offered Pang one of the largest packages seen (yet) in the AI brain-poaching wars, with the promise of more than $200 million spread out over multiple years.

Memory-Level Parallelism: Apple M2 vs. Apple M4

news.ycombinator.com View All Posts Daniel Lemire 2025-08-30 23:24:28

The Apple M2, introduced in 2022, and the Apple M4, launched in 2024, are both ARM-based system-on-chip (SoC) designs featuring unified memory architecture. That is, they use the same memory for both graphics (GPU) and main computations (CPU). The M2 processor relies on LPDDR5 memory whereas the M4 relies on LPDDR5X which should provide slightly more bandwidth. The exact bandwidth you get from an Apple system depends on your configuration.
