The new M4

It won’t change much of anything until it has a competitive GPU.

No. Bcoz still only 16 NE. The real revolution is ML and local AI. 16 NE is not enough.

The ‘Crush’ ad

Steve Jobs would have basically given them all the middle finger and made some acerbic comment putting them all in their place.

On the other hand it was in bad taste. It communicated the wrong message while trying to be clever and it was smarter to jump ship and disown it right away.

There’s an awful lot #Apple has to apologize for, from the Crush ad to its crushing price gouging and misleading marketing claims.
