At WWDC 2017, Apple proved it hasn’t forgotten about its pro users Posted: 07 Jun 2017 01:54 PM PDT One of the more interesting narratives to surround Apple in recent years holds that the company has either forgotten or simply doesn't care about pro users anymore. This narrative can arguably be traced back to the company's 2013 Mac Pro design and only picked up steam following the release of Apple's 2016 MacBook Pro with the Touch Bar. As a quick refresher, Apple's flagship MacBook Pro was derided for being overpriced and under-powered, with many users lamenting the fact that Apple's pro-oriented machine could only support 16GB of RAM. In fact, the backlash against Apple was so strong that Tim Cook and other executives were forced to confront the criticism head on, with Cook stating the following during a company shareholder meeting earlier this year: "You will see us do more in the pro area. The pro area is very important to us. The creative area is very important to us in particular."
Just two months later, Apple executives held a special meeting with select tech outlets where they assured developers and creative professionals that new and advanced pro-oriented hardware was in the product pipeline. Not only did Apple relay that a completely redesigned Mac Pro was on the way, but Phil Schiller made a point of noting that the company was working on iMac configurations developed "specifically with the pro customer in mind." True to form, Apple at WWDC 2017 demonstrated that its pro users have a lot to look forward to. Aside from supercharging its iPad lineup, Apple updated the entirety of its MacBook line with speedier Kaby Lake processors and faster SSDs. Further, some of Apple's notebooks will now feature more powerful graphics. Apple on Monday also took some time to refresh its iMac lineup, gracing its iconic all-in-one machine with more memory and faster processors. Of course, the star of show -- at least as it pertains to the Mac -- was Apple's iMac Pro. Priced at $4,999 with an option to max the machine out with 18 core Xeon processors, Apple's brand new iMac is a clear indication that Apple has decidedly not forgotten about its pro user base. In a nutshell, Apple's upcoming iMac Pro is an absolute monster of a machine. And though the iMac Pro won't ship until December, the fact that Apple announced it so far in advance was a subtle nod to users who have grown impatient with slower product upgrades over the years. In other words, the current MacBook and iMac upgrades and the forthcoming iMac Pro update sends a clear message that Apple not only has exciting new hardware today, but even more exciting and powerful hardware coming down the pipeline. And that's not even to speak of a revamped Mac Pro which, if we're lucky, will be unveiled sometime next year. WWDC 2017 may not have been the most exciting keynote we've ever seen, but for any consumers who has been patiently waiting for a solid improvement to the Mac, Monday's keynote was nothing short of encouraging. |

One of the hottest iOS 11 features will force you to buy a new iPhone Posted: 08 Jun 2017 06:14 AM PDT Apple isn't playing around anymore. Augmented reality (AR) is a huge part of the company's vision of the future for the iPhone and iPad (and beyond), and we're going to see the first results of Apple's AR implementation later this year when iOS 11 is released and developers launch their AR creations for the iPhone and iPad. However, as exciting as native AR support might sound for the iPhone, you should know that you might have to upgrade your gear to take advantage of it.
Apple said on stage at WWDC that ARKit will bring AR to millions of iPhones and iPads. That's all great news, but not all iPhones and iPads are created equal. What Apple did not say on stage but jotted it down in its ARKit documentation online, is that ARKit will only work with Apple A9 and Apple A10 processors. That means AR apps will be compatible with iPhones and iPads released in 2015 or later — think iPhone 6s or iPad Pro. "ARKit runs on the Apple A9 and A10 processors," Apple explains. "These processors deliver breakthrough performance that enables fast scene understanding and lets you build detailed and compelling virtual content on top of real-world scenes." So if you happen to have an iPhone 6, iPhone 5s, iPad Air or even the latest iPod touch, you won't be able to get any AR love once you upgrade them to iOS 11 this fall. Apple doesn't list the incoming A11 processor on its ARKit page as that would obviously confirm its existence. But the processor that will power this year's iPhone will also support AR. In fact, it'll probably be the best mobile chip in town for that. |

Tesla releases Model Y teaser photo and sheds light on upcoming semi truck Posted: 07 Jun 2017 01:31 PM PDT Tesla currently has all hands on deck as it prepares to begin mass production on the Model 3, but Elon Musk and co. certainly aren't resting on their laurels. On the contrary, Tesla is planning to introduce a number of new vehicles in the coming years, including a revamped Roadster and a pickup truck. Also on the docket is a crossover version of the Model 3 dubbed the Model Y. Elon Musk initially confirmed that the Model Y was in the works about two years ago, even hinting that it may feature the same type of falcon wing doors Tesla originally introduced with the Model X. Notably, though, the Model Y will likely be based on a different platform than the Model 3.
Yesterday, Tesla held its annual shareholders meeting in California and took the time to disclose some new information on a few upcoming Tesla initiatives. Of particular interest, though, was the first official teaser we've seen of the Model Y, an image which you can view below. It's hard to take too much away from the photo, but it's still a lot sleeker than some of the previous concepts we've seen floating around the web. During the shareholder meeting, Musk stated that the Model Y may prove to be even more popular than the Model 3. That's quite a prediction given that Model 3 reservations are believed to be in the 400,000 range. At this point, it remains unclear when Tesla plans to introduce the Model Y. Indeed, the next car likely to come off of Tesla's production line --after the Model 3 -- is a Tesla semi-truck. With respect to Tesla's upcoming semi-truck, Musk yesterday (via Electrek) said that it will feature the "highest weight capability with long-range" and that we can expect to see a working prototype before 2018. "We have shown it to a number of people who buy heavy duty trucking and they all love it," Musk said. "They just want to know how many can they buy and how soon. The biggest customers of the heavy duty Tesla Semi are helping ensure that it is specified to their needs. It's not a mystery. they already know that it is going to meet their needs because they told us what those needs are." About two months ago, Musk said that Tesla's semi-truck "team has done an amazing job" while adding that the design is "seriously next level." Additionally, Tesla a few weeks back rolled out the following teaser image of its forthcoming semi-truck. http://media.zenfs.com/en_US/News/BGR_News/tesla-semi-truck.jpg?quality=98&strip=all&strip=all |
