M4 MacBook Pro: One of the first worthy upgrades for Apple Silicon Mac users

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-12-09 06:00:56

Last October, Apple announced the M4 MacBook Pro. On the surface, it looks like yet another MacBook Pro spec bump. However, there are a number of key features that make it worth upgrading to, even if you already have an older 14″ MacBook Pro. Why M4? There’s recently been a pretty big flip in MacBook Pro pricing, which gradually took place over the past year or so: First, Apple introduced a new entry-level MacBook Pro at $1599 in 2023 with baseline M3 Then, it upped the base memory to 16GB a

James Martin/CNET Apple will announce new iPhone 17 phones at its annual fall event on Sept. 9, showing off new features of iOS 26, possible camera updates and new case designs, all leading up to a dramatic price reveal. This year, that figure could be $50 higher for the iPhone 17 Pro models, based on a rumor that surfaced on the Chinese so

After months of tracking leaks and speculation, we now have a solid date for when the iPhone 17 will be announced. Apple sent out invitations -- once again with an enigmatic design that raises even more questions -- for its fall event, which is happening Sept. 9. Although it's entirely possible that the secretive company could pull a head-fake and not announce a new flagship iPhone lineup, that's about as likely as catching Taylor Swift riding a giraffe.

Apple is about to finally give iPad users the best reason to go iPad Pro

Apple launched the iPad Pro nearly 10 years ago, yet this fall as the M5 iPad Pro arrives powered by iPadOS 26, the company will finally have a great reason for users to go Pro. The disappointing history of iPad Pro letdowns When the iPad Pro first came on the scene in 2015, I’ll confess that I thought it was kind of ridiculous. “A 13-inch iPad?

Do the simplest thing that could possibly work

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-10 04:05:09

When designing software systems, do the simplest thing that could possibly work. It’s surprising how far you can take this piece of advice. I genuinely think you can do this all the time. You can follow this approach for fixing bugs, for maintaining existing systems, and for architecting new ones. A lot of engineers design by trying to think of the “ideal” system: something well-factored, near-infinitely scalable, elegantly distributed, and so on. I think this is entirely the wrong way to go a
