The True Danger of Artificial Intelligence

🎗 https://givewell.org/rene Get your $100 donation matched with Givewell!A.I. Artificial intelligence. Machine Learning. Generative Adversarial Networks. Neural Engines. Dall-E. Midjourney. ChatGPT...It’s the rise of the machines. Judgment day. Humanity deleted, as we become nothing more than an organic boot-loader for an indifferent hive of nanites that’ll crack our world for fuel on their way to dispassionately conquering the stars. Oh, whoops. Whoopsie.It’s the singularity. The great enlightenment. The golden age of humanity, sundered from all labor and toil as ambient world-computing erases all creative limitations, enabling us to literally go where no one has gone before.Sorry. My bad. Again.It’s… a tool. On an ever-escalating scale. Neither angel nor demon but we use it so, able to pre-viz a movie or deep-fake propaganda, chat-out an email response or cheat-up an essay, potentially the biggest board with the biggest nail yet, for building or bludgeoning alike.Here are three stories...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Apple Data Protection — The ugly truth

🚀 Visit https://www.brilliant.org/reneritchie to start learning STEM for FREE! First 200 get 20% off their annual premium subscription!Up until now, Apple kept an encryption key for things like your personal photos and messages stored on their iCloud servers. That meant, if you ever forgot your passcode or otherwise locked yourself out, Apple could recover that data for you. But, side effect, that also meant a government could subpoena them, or a super-villain could theoretically break in and steal them.Now, in the US, and in more places over the course of the next year, we’ll have the option to turn on Advanced Data Protection for iCloud. In other words, turn off Apple’s ability to access almost everything on iCloud. literally make them throw their key away. Then, just like our health data and passwords have been, our photos and messages will be utterly, completely locked down.But should they be? Should we actually turn advanced data protection on?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The End of Big Silicon — Apple, Intel, Qualcomm

Both desktop and mobile silicon are hitting the limits of physics. Power draw keeps increasing while enclosures only get smaller. Process shrinks are becoming more expensive and time-consuming. And foundries are facing geopolitical and competitive concerns. So what can Apple, Qualcomm, Intel, and all the rest do to keep improving performance?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Elon Phone

Is Elon Musk actually going to make a phone? That’s what approximately 42,069 headlines in my feed are saying right now. Not a Tesla phone, Space X Starlink phone, or Neuralink phone, though that’d be kinda hella cool. Not even a Boring phone, despite a lot of people saying phones have gotten at least a little bit boring lately. But a Twitter phone. Why? See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

How (NOT) to save a company

Twitter vs. Apple. Elon vs. Steve Jobs. I mean, kinda, we’ll get to that in a minute. Point being, Twitter is what everyone is talking about right now. Especially on Twitter. More than FTX imploding — and exploding — at least at time of recording. More than Mark Zuckerberg laying off 11,000 people. More than Apple momentarily junking up the App Store with gambling ads. More than the FBI allegedly test-driving Pegasus spyware a couple or few years back.Elon Musk speedrunning social network leadership fantasy camp is what’s dominating the hearts and drama-stems of every doom-scroller and tech media thirst trapper in the 1218 universe. So, what's going on?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ruining the iPad

🚀 Visit https://www.brilliant.org/reneritchie to start learning STEM for FREE! First 200 get 20% off their annual premium subscription!A friend of the family asked me to look at their iPad recently because something wasn’t working right and I noticed they had like 30 instances of the Mail all over the place. I’m exaggerating, of course, but this is a person who’s super smart, taught at university, but just never got computers never understood them. Avoided command lines entirely, struggled with graphical interfaces, but when the iPad came out, that was it, the perfect computer for them. Finally. Something simple. Intuitive. Full screen. Focused. But year after every couple or few years, layers and layers of capabilities have been added, but with complexities to match, and many of the same problems they had with graphical interfaces, the ones the iPad initially solved for them, are coming back. With a hefty helping of near-constant gesture collisions on top.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

iPhone 15 — The Big Leak Lie

🚀 Visit https://www.brilliant.org/reneritchie to start learning STEM for FREE! First 200 get 20% off their annual premium subscription!I used to leak. Well, not leak. A lot of people get that wrong. Leakers aren’t the people reporting the leaks to you. Those are… reporters. Leakers are the ones actually leaking the information TO the reporters. Sometimes intentionally, sometimes accidentally. We’ll get to that in a minute.But it was a huge high. A huge, stressful, anxious, exhilarating, ego-boosting, soul-crushing high that I loved and hated every time. Which is pretty much how I'm feeling about the iPhone 14 and Apple Watch Ultra leaks from last year, and the iPhone 15, Pixel, and Samsung leaks for next year already!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

iPhone 14 — Buy now or wait for 15?

🔥 Go to https://bit.ly/37su9oh and use code reneritchie to get a free 100 pack of blades when you purchase your Henson Razor — Make sure you add both the 100 blade pack and the razor for the discount to apply!My always advice is: Wait as long as you possible can to upgrade, then buy the best possible upgrade you can, and keep it as long as you can — enjoy the hell out of it — because there’ll always be something new and something nextAnd that’s truer now for phones than it’s ever been before. Because phones just aren’t rapidly changing, always experimenting, bleeding edge nerd-bait sci-fi any more. They’re fully matured and mainstream.Just look at all the hotter-than-hot takes that have been pouring in lately, from the Galaxy Fold 4 to the iPhone 14 to the Pixel 7 — spec bumps and a few new features aside, this years models are nigh-indistinguishable from last year’s. I mean, forget S-models, they’re basically being called rev B hardware.The designs have reached a point where they’re platonic, if not always iconic. Like a Porsche or Rolex or Mont Blanc… or, you get the idea.So... should you upgrade now or should you wait for next?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

eSIM & iPhone 14 — The uglier truth

And the reason… this time? I mean, same song, new verse. Apple’s deleted another port, this time the SIM card slot. Moving from a traditional, card-based Subscriber Identity Module to a new-fangled ee-lec-tronic version that’s no longer swappable at the hands-to-hardware level, only software.

Why can't your iPhone take the 5th?

Should our phones have the right to remain silent? To plead the 5th?There’s doctor-patient privilege, attorney-client privilege, clergy-penitent privilege, and spousal privilege. To the best of my understanding, and with all the appropriate caveats and limits of scope, in many jurisdictions, our doctors, therapists, lawyers, priests, pastors, husbands, and wives, cannot be compelled to testify or provide evidence against us.But our phones, which nowadays contain health, legal, location, and deeply personal data — beyond any of our real-world relationships — our phones, which have pretty much become extensions of our memory, our knowledge, our senses, to the point where they’re indistinguishable from external cybernetics… Our phones have no such protection. There’s just no digital device equivalent to that privilege. No right for our phones to remain silent.They can and will be used against us. But as the external cybernetics become internal, as the computers move from our phones and watches and earbuds to our bodies and brains... does that need to change?sSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We all know I’m actually talking about YouTube, which de-emphasized the clean, clear, crisp subscriber feed, populated by every video published by every creator we all chose to smash the button for… going back… forever… basically, and now has all of us just clicking on whatever shows up on our home page, whether we smashed a button ever or not!Still kidding! TikTok. Sorry! I swear! I’m obviously talking about Instagram, where they’ve taken the immaculate, photo-centric feed of our internet youth and Frankensteined it up with so many, so thirsty, video recs that the Queens of the Jenner-Kardashian Empire are now calling for it to burn hotter than… King’s Landing in the very worst season.And yeah, if you’re sensing a pattern here, that’s because there absolutely is one.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

They want to destroy YouTube as we know it...

Right now your YouTube Homepage looks like... it always does. Filled with recommendations based on the videos you chose to watch in the past, and that other people like you have engaged with and enjoyed.YouTube’s Discovery system works super hard to figure out the videos you personally, individually, would like to see the most, and then offers them to you.But, in the near future, there’s a good chance your Homepage won’t look like that anymore. It’ll look more like this. At least something like this. Because it won’t be based on what you like to watch anymore. It’ll be based on what the government decides you should watch.And that can't be allowed to happen.

iPhone 14 vs Samsung — Right... or right now?

🔥 https://curiositystream.com/reneritchie/ NO ADS + Bonus Videos! Get CuriosityStream + Nebula bundle for less than $12 a YEAR! I’ve been asking for an always-on iPhone display… it’s gotta be… 5 years now. Basically, ever since Apple took it OLED with the iPhone X back in 2017. I mean, Nokia phones have had it since 1812… or 2010… one of those years. And Android phones from Samsung to Google to Moto have been… yoting them out for what feels like half to a decade by now. Even the Apple Watch managed to get its always on back in 2019. You know, the before times…And yet, it feels like every year, on the year, someone goes and says *this* year, no, *this year*, the iPhone will finally be getting always on. Like, just keep saying it, and it has to come true eventually, right? And who knows, sure, maybe. I’m honestly so far beyond burned out by all the leaks constantly flooding my feeds these days anyway.But it does raise a super interesting question. Why is it taking Apple so damn long, so damn always, to just give us all these features anyway? And is rapid adaption of new technologies maybe, just maybe, something Android handles way better?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Apple TV. Apple Watch! Has Wi-Fi. 6 product tabs on Apple.com… like 5 of ‘em have Wi-Fi. And yet Apple does not sell a Wi-Fi router. Not any more. Not since they murder death killed the AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme lineups back in 2016. Not even when Google launched their router, and bought Nest, when Samsung bought SmartThings, and Amazon bought Eero. No, they left arguably one of the most important connections customers ever make, between our Apple gear and the internet… just all shades of naked and afraid. So, what do you do? Well, if you’re Apple. Maybe, just maybe, you do what you just did with displays and bring the routers back. Or… no… scratch that… You create something new. Something… more. An ecosystem, of mesh routers, HomePods, Apple TVs, and other gear that can do what every product Apple makes has to do in order to survive — offer unique differentiation — a combination of hardware, software, and services — that only Apple can do...

I mean, besides the recently patent-sparked M2 Magic Keyboard computer speculation, the one that’ll somehow re-invent the Apple II and obsolete the Mac mini box at the same time, right? More on those in a perf per watt minute! And, I only ask because… they just put… an A13 Bionic, basically the whole entire board from the current iPad nothing, memory, 64 Gigs of storage, the all of it, into… a monitor. A screen. The Studio Display. Basically, because the Tim Cook doctrine says Apple’s only ever going to enter — or re-enter — markets where they can provide unique differentiation and value. Doing things that only Apple can do, as the mantra goes. They’re a huge company but they still use small teams with limited bandwidth so if you’re not the next iPhone, you have to prove you’re worthy of some of that time and attention because it’ll always come at the expense of something else. So, using custom silicon to give a desktop display the same features that Apple’s MacBook displays have been enjoying for the last few years is just exactly the kind of unique differentiation that’ll get you bandwidth — and sign off! — True Tone ambient color temperature matching, spatial audio speakers, noise-canceling mics, Center Stage pan, and zoom webcam — the freaking thing actually runs iOS 15! It even gets software updates… and experiences software bugs… like a computer.

I might buy a Studio Display. I’m just waiting to see what the rumored MiniLED version ends up being. If it’s 27-inches and 5K for $2K plus, I’m in. I just want the HDR. Since 120 Hz still isn’t physically possible over Thunderbolt at over 4K. If it’s 36-inches and closer to 7K for $7K, I’ll leave that for the Pixar’s, ILMs, and… you know, the mega-YouTubers. If you don’t care about HDR but you do care about 5K, and a lot, then… who am I kidding, you already ordered.I did order an M1 Ultra Mac Studio. But the truth is, after 2 weeks, I’m kinda looking forward to going back to my M1 Max 16-inch MacBook Pro. I like the MiniLED display, I love being able to move around from my Kitchen counter to standing desk to studio to couch. And the Max is a big enough breakthrough for me, essentially doubling my render speeds and getting them off the CPU so I can still do other things like thumbnails in Photoshop and video prep in Safari, that I can finish my work and put it on to upload before I go to bed, instead of waiting forever for it to finish… before I can go to bed. And the Ultra does speed that up even more.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

But they don’t really tell you how to run them, what the numbers actually mean, or give you any of the context needed to interpret them. They’ve become pop culture, or what I’ve been calling Benchmark LARP, live action roll-play. Especially when compared to say… what outlets like AnandTech and a few others still manage to produce, with incredible talent, and a ton of high-order-bit work and effort.Because the ugly truth is, while running benchmarking might be easier than ever, understanding them is significantly more complex.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Why Apple Killed the 27-Inch iMac

🚀 Visit https://www.brilliant.org/reneritchie to start learning STEM for FREE! First 200 get 20% off their annual premium subscription!Apple just launched a brand new machine with a 27-inch IPS P3 5K display, but instead of wrapping it around an M1 or M1 Pro running macOS Monterey… instead… instead… they wrapped it around an A13 running iOS 15. A bit. And paired it with the new Studio Mac. The first new Mac in almost a decade. Hold that thought too.At that same exact time, Apple killed the 27-inch Intel iMac. But not like last year when they killed the 21.5-inch iMac after replacing it with a sleek new M1 model. No. This one they didn’t replace at all. They killed it… just to watch it die. Hold that thou— no, that’s three… Juggle those thoughts just one more minute.Because reports on whether or not Apple is ever going to replace the bigger… Pro’er iMac have been… all over the place for the last couple of weeks, from… it’s coming soon to… it’s coming later… to it’s not coming at all, ever. RIP. DED. With some saying the 27-inch being discontinued and the Mac Pro being deliberately singled out as the only Mac still waiting on Apple silicon proves it’s dead, while others say killing he Intel box is how they drive people to the Mac Studio — for now — and that the iMac has already moved to Apple silicon, so we’re not waiting on that, we’re only waiting on more of that.But what if they’re all wrong?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

First 200 get 20% off their annual premium subscription!2022 and you still have to unlock your iPhone with Face ID… like an animal. Or Touch ID. Passcode. Password. Whatever. All just different flavors of animal. Why? Because authentication is still active. Your iPhone is locked until such time as you jump through a biometric or input field hoop to unlock it. Never mind if you’re wearing a mask and sunglasses, or gloves or your finger is damp, or your hands are full or you’re in a rush. So, what do you do? Well, if you’re Apple… If you’re Apple, maybe you destroy Face ID. At least as a single point of active authentication. And then you replace it, superset it really, no, not with Touch ID, but with something just way, way better. Magic ID… no, that’s a terrible name, like Tiberius. Smart ID. Let’s go with that!

How Apple Destroys OLED

OLED vs Mini LED vs MicroLED — What wins?💡 First 1,000 people who go to https://skl.sh/reneritchie01221 will get a 1 month FREE trial of Skillshare!$2000 and the MacBook Pro doesn’t even have an OLED Display. Never mind the $1100 iPad Pro. Why? Because OLED is… hella problematic. It’s expensive, leading-edge supplies are limited, it allows for always-on but it’s prone to burn-in, smearing, and off-axis color shifting. it decays unevenly, and while it can be flexible and provides the deepest, truest blacks, it struggles with peak brightness. Like hitting that subscribe button so we can build the best community in tech… brightness.So, what do you do? I mean, besides hitting that button and cursing in the comments. Well, if you’re Apple, you power word kill regular old LCD, just obliterate it from the premium lineup. Then you divide and conquer. Build up OLED on the smaller devices while hedging with mini-LED on the bigger ones. Then… then you make them fight it out, like Kaiju and Jaegers… or just wait for micro-LED to mature and extinction-level event both of them.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

How Apple DESTROYS Lightning

Could Apple end both Lightning and USB-C?🔥 SURPRISE SALE! CuriosityStream + Nebula for less than $12 a YEAR! https://curiositystream.com/reneritchie/$1000 and the iPhone 13 Pro is still stuck at USB2 speeds. Never mind the $1100 iPhone 13 Pro Max. Why? Because, *Lightning*, and — wait for it — Lightning has pretty much been stuck at USB2’s half a gigabit per second, since… 2012. That, in spite of Apple adding 10-bit ProRes HDR video recording back in September. With hardware acceleration fast enough to encode 6GB a minute — a minute! — and a new storage system fast enough to save it, but no… no as in nothing approaching… a new I/O system fast enough to transfer it. So, you can now record the highest quality video of any phone on the planet, you just can’t get it off any faster than the cheapest phone on the block. So, what do you do? I mean, besides hitting the button and cursing in the comments, obviously. Well, if you’re Apple… If you’re Apple, maybe you kill the now 10 year old Lightning connector. Summary de-resolution it just to get it off the grid. And then you replace it… maybe with Lightning 2… Maybe with USB-C or even Thunderbolt… Or maybe, just maybe, something that could take the iPhone and us forward into the next 10 years?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

But… what if Apple can do both?According to a just-released report from randomly accurate Haitong International Securities analyst Jeff Pu, Apple is finally — finally — getting ready to ditch their traditional 12-megapixel sensor for quad-major upgrade to 48 megapixels. This backs up a previous report from more reliable supply chain exfilterator and TF International Securities analyst Kuo Ming-Chi.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Yeah’d I’d love to see blue, orange, and red as well, but maybe they had to split colors with the HomePod mini this year, I dunno?Then, instead of a stiff stem that shotguns down, you have a flexible hook-like wingtip that curves up to better secure the bud.Well, you don’t have to imagine it, because that’s pretty much exactly what the mad geniuses in Beat’s labs have gone and done.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Why Your iPhone 13 is Recycled* (Ft. MrBeast)

Go to TeamSeas.org and for every $1 you donate, you'll remove 1 lb of trash from our oceans and rivers!Thanks to CuriosityStream.com/reneritchie for donating the sponsor time on this video to #TeamSeas * The antenna bands are made from upcycled plastic water bottles, and that's not all! Just this week, as part of doubling down on their pledge to become carbon neutral by 2030, Apple announced 10 new renewable projects around the world through their Power for Impact program, including partnering to protect and restore the 27,000-acre mangrove forests in Córdoba, Colombia.When it comes to reducing plastics specifically, Apple is working on incorporating more recycled materials. Like the HomePod mini mesh, which is 90% recycled plastic. The Apple Watch Brained Solo Loop, which is 100 recycled polyester, and across the company, more than 70 parts now average 50% recycled plastics as of 2020, and 17 additional parts now use plastics made from bio-based content instead of fossil fuels.They’ve also begun switching to paper wrapping for products, including the iPhone, avoiding 600 metric tons of plastics, and retail bags are now 80% recycled fiber. Overall, Apple has already reduced plastic in packaging by almost half in three years and they have a goal of removing it completely by 2025.Other efforts include recycling aluminum and rare earth elements like magnets, and doing trade-ins and recycling programs for whole entire products, and it’s all designed to minimize the impact e-waste has on our planet, our oceans, and more accurately, our lives.To do your part, please visit TeamSeas.org now!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

AirPods 3 Review — New Best Buds?

AirPods 3 or... AirPods Pro Jr.?🔥 NO ADS + bonus content! CuriosityStream & Nebula for less than $15 a YEAR! https://curiositystream.com/reneritchie/The AirPods 3 look like the AirPods Pro. Same oblong buds and shorter, more angled stems, with a virtual force sensor button for media control. But there are some critical differences: No silicon tips, for people who find that annoying or downright painful. Also, spatial audio for a truly immersive experience, but no active noise canceling. Adaptive EQ, which constantly corrects the audio based on how exactly the bud is sitting or moving in your ear, but no Transparency mode. Much better Find My, if you lose a pod, longer battery life, MagSafe and sweat and water resistance in the case, and so much more functionality thanks to years of AudioOS updates, that they’re not just a whole entire 3D sound stage in our ears — they’re basically external cybernetics.

Where, for those of you like me, it’s all about what it can do better… how it can make our lives even better.With Series 7, that includes a bigger, more informational, more accessible screen and faster charging system in general. For time and schedule keeping, a brighter, easier-to-glance at always-on mode. For fitness and health tracking, especially the extreme kind, a more crack-resistant display, and dust-and-debris resistant casing. For notification and communication, a built-in keyboard. And, yeah, GIF/GIFs! For fashion, or just plain fun, a minor rainbow of new aluminum colors.

iPad mini 6 Review — This Changes EVERYTHING!

Is Apple's new iPad mini worth your money?🔥 NO ADS + bonus content! CuriosityStream & Nebula for less than $15 a YEAR! https://curiositystream.com/reneritchie/The newly redesigned iPad mini isn’t an iPad Pro mini. It’s an iPad Air mini. Which is cool, because the original iPad Air was literally an iPad mini biggie. Point being, the mini and the Air, the Air and the mini, they’ve mostly been in lockstep over the last many years. Mostly. This year, the mini is playing catch up… but also one up. It’s getting almost all the features of Apple’s sleekest iPad — bigger, edge to edge display, but candy-colored shells, if not as many colors, Touch ID in the Power button, USB-C, stereo landscape speakers, Apple Pencil 2, if no Magic Keyboard mini, Sub-6 5G, if no mmWave, but also rocking a new A15 chipset and Center-Stage capable front camera. But, in addition to losing the Home button, it’s also lost its headphone jack, and while it’s the most feature-packed iPad mini ever, it’s also the most expensive, starting at the same 64GB, but now priced at $499. So, is Apple’s biggest mini worth it?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Why do MacBook Webcams Suck? (Reacting to Linus Tech Tips)

NO ADS + bonus content! CuriosityStream & Nebula for less than $15 a YEAR! https://curiositystream.com/reneritchie/Linus Tech Tips (née Sebastien) just posted a really great video on why PC laptop webcams still suck oh so very much. But that’s by no means limited to PC Laptops. I’ve been complaining about MacBook webcams being sucktastic for years now as well. Which is really hard to take, especially from Apple, who makes some of the best mobile cameras, and most expensive laptops, in the business. So, why?Linus goes over cost, which is never not an issue but isn’t as big an issue with Apple’s margins. And sensor size, which is an increasing issue on near-zero bezel PC laptops but again isn’t as big an issue with Apple’s still somewhat beefy bezels on even the already screen stretched 16-inch MacBook Pro. Also, Windows Hello facial biometrics, which requires extra or combined IR cameras, but since we still don’t have Face ID on the Mac, that’s just a non-factor for us.So, again, why? What leaves MacBooks stuck with 720p as in potato webcams so always?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Why Apple Made the iPad mini

NO ADS + bonus content! CuriosityStream & Nebula for less than $15 a YEAR! https://curiositystream.com/reneritchie/Steve Jobs didn’t want an iPad mini. He hated the idea. The original iPad was the perfect size and anything smaller just wouldn’t be usable. He made fun of the tiny Android tablets already on the market, literally saying you’d have to shave down your fingers just to hit the tap targets, and that all they could run was blown up phone apps. An unbelievably ironic statement for reasons I’ll get into in a future video.So, he had Apple focus on making the iPad 2 faster, thinner, and lighter, the iPad 3 Retina, and the iPad 4… fixing the iPad 3.But then something interesting happenedSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Intel Pro Mac Now or Keep Waiting on M1X?

NO ADS + bonus content! CuriosityStream & Nebula for less than $15 a YEAR! https://curiositystream.com/reneritchie/M1 let Apple take the existing MacBook Air chassis and… rip out the fan, let the Mac mini run on max… basically forever, and make an iMac almost as thin as an iPad. But those are all ultra-low power implementations of Apple silicon. The ones that put the efficiency in performance efficiency. One year later, and we still don’t have any ultra-high power implementations. Any that put the performance first. Also, any with bigger displays, more ports, and higher memory and storage configs.If you want a pro Mac, you still have to buy an Intel Mac… for now, or keep waiting for an M1X, probably until this fall at the earliest, next summer at the latest. So... should you keep waiting?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

iPad Pro — Apple Breaks the 5GB RAM Limit!

NO ADS + bonus content! CuriosityStream & Nebula for less than $15 a YEAR! https://curiositystream.com/reneritchie/For the vast, vast majority of apps and workflows — the vast majority of people — not only won’t a 5 GB RAM limit on iPad Pro apps ever be an honest-to-Jobs, actual, real-world type problem, but odds are you won’t even notice it. Much less be irked by it. At least if people didn’t publish first, research second… or never. Which irks me, obviously.For some very specific apps, though, you absolutely will notice. iPad apps like Procreate that can benefit from more layers, which do indeed require more RAM.It’s for those very specific types of iPad apps that Apple’s adding this very specific new entitlement. So they can check system resources, see how much extra memory is currently available, and then request and get more of that memory to use.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

And you can play them on any AirPod or Beats… pods with a W1 and H1 chip, which is almost everything since the headphone jack got jacked back in 2016. As well as any recent iPhone, iPad, or Mac, HomePods, and Apple TV if it’s connected to a Dolby Atmos system. No dynamic head tracking for audio like there’s been for video. At least not yet.Lossless audio is coming to all 75 million songs in the Apple Music catalog using Apple’s own ALAC format.

Zuckerberg was… stunned, obviously ignored the advice, and would go on to tell an employee that Facebook needed to inflict pain on Apple.Apple… well, Apple just decided that if Facebook wouldn’t delete our 3rd party data, Apple would let us delete their access to it, with iOS 14.5 and App Tracking transparency. They could still track what we were doing in their own apps, but if they wanted to keep tracking us across the web and other apps as well, they had to ask our permission first. Now, 95% of American iPhone and iPad users, and roughly 88% of global users, are hard nope-ing out of 3rd party app tracking on the daily.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Redshift, the award-winning, production-ready renderer, offers a rich feature set including ray switches, flexible shading networks, motion blur, AOVs, deep output, layered EXR and much more. Unlike other GPU renderers, Redshift is a biased renderer that enables artists to adjust the quality of individual techniques in order to get the best performance/quality balance for production.

Apple DESTROYS Leaker — Dramatic Abridged Annotation!

First 1000 people who go to https://skl.sh/reneritchie03211​ to get a free trial of Skillshare Premium!A dramatic, abridged, annotated reading of Apple's lawsuit against former employee and alleged leaker Simon Lancaster:Plaintiff Apple Inc. (“Apple”) brings this action to stop the misappropriation of Apple’s trade secrets by its former employee Simon Lancaster.Despite over a decade of employment at Apple, Lancaster abused his position and trust within the company to systematically disseminate Apple’s sensitive trade secret information in an effort to obtain personal benefits. He used his seniority to gain access to internal meetings and documents outside the scope of his job’s responsibilities containing Apple’s trade secrets, and he provided these trade secrets to his outside media correspondent (“Correspondent”). The Correspondent then published the stolen trade secrets in articles, citing a “source” at Apple. On multiple occasions, Lancaster proposed that the Correspondent give benefits to Lancaster in exchange for Apple’s trade secrets. For example, Lancaster proposed that the Correspondent provide favorable coverage of a startup company in which Lancaster was an investor as a quid pro quo. Lancaster even recruited the Correspondent to serve as his personal investigator. In one instance, Lancaster requested that the Correspondent explore a rumor that could prove harmful to a company in which Lancaster had invested.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Chips like M1X and M2, or whatever Apple ends up calling them.And unlike Intel, Apple doesn’t provide roadmaps well in advance. They don’t provide them at all. Not beyond extrapolating the power draw on what’s effectively a Bezos graph.And that leads to a ton of thirst… and a ton of thirst traps. To… trap it. To take advantage of it. To pull those views, subs, and follows.That includes anonymous Twitter accounts that never provide any accurate, original reporting. Like at all.

To make them hurt. To lobby the government against them, to claim anti-trust, to do everything they can to paint Apple dirty. Why? Because with App Tracking Transparency, a new privacy feature coming in iOS 14.5, Apple wants to give us, the customers, the users, the ability to choose whether or not Facebook gets to track us outside their own apps, across other apps, even across the web. Apple considers this simple level of privacy and dignity a fundamental human right.

Wrong About Killing All iPhone Apps!

Be one of the first 200 to sign up and get 20% off your Brilliant subscription: https://www.brilliant.org/reneritchie​Most of the time. Almost all the time, iOS 14 will do away, way better job at managing apps and multitasking resources on your iPhone than… any puny human.. could ever even dream of doing. Even using on-device Intelligence — Machine Learning, algorithms — to predict which apps you’ll most want to open and when. And pre-loading them to make sure they’re primed and ready based on that bet.When you switch out of an app, it’s supposed to save its current state and go to sleep, to hibernate. Then, when you switch back, it’s supposed to wake up, to resume from that exact same state. Right where you left off.But sometimes an app goes bad, a process goes rogue, your iPhone gets hot, your battery drains before your eyes, and rather than taking the time and going through all the effort of tracking down exactly which app is causing the problem — installing diagnostics, running tests, monitoring for days or weeks — they’ll just… force quit everything. And sometimes salt the ground with a hard reset right after.Volume up. Volume down. Press and hold the side button until you get logo.

The possible 14-inch MacBook Pro with a new design, a more powerful M1X or M2 processor, and possibly a Mini LED display, MagSafe power adapter, and SD Card slot.And I’ll be doing this for every Apple product coming this year, so hit that subscribe button and bell, so you’ll know how to best save… and spend your hard-earned cash in 2021.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Why Apple Could Win AAA Gaming (M1 ATV + X1 VR)

Get $25 off your cell phone bill at http://rene.ting.com !Apple doesn’t get gaming. That’s what every lazy pundit with a platform laments. But Apple *absolutely* gets gaming. To the tune of billions and billions of dollars in App Store revenue each quarter. They just get that… Candy Crush just crushes… and casual gaming currently offers the biggest return in the business. But what if that was about to change? What if Apple is finally, finally getting ready to just rock with hardcore gaming the way they did TV streaming back in ought 19? Well… Take one AAA-Apple TV with an A14X+ class chipset, add one Apple VR headset with M2+ full-on high-end gaming support, and stir — don't shake! — in iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and you have the math for a compelling move by Apple into the premium gaming market.Here's how it could work!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

NEW Apple Hardware Boss (and Secret New Project...)

Dan Riccio, Apple’s longtime head of hardware is out — but not really. He’s going on to run a new and so far secret project. And John Ternus, the rising star of the engineering division is all in, like at the executive team level.It’s yet another huge shakeup at the very top of Apple’s leadership chain, something that once seemed eternal but really has been changing and growing almost every year for over a decade now. But what about this, what does this specific change really mean for the future of Apple hardware like the iPhone, iPad, and upcoming M-series Macs? Well…Dan Riccio is leaving his spot on top of Hardware Engineering, and John Ternus is taking over. Apple won’t say what he’s moving on to. A lot of early hot tweets had the word CAR in them. But given Riccio moved on from Titan years ago and John Gianandrea has just taken over there, that makes the kind of sense that just really doesn’t.But I think Dan Riccio still runs Apple’s virtual and augmented reality project, and given the recent reports of what Apple’s planning to do there, what with VR headsets and AR glasses both lined up for the next few years, it’s more than possible Apple decided they needed someone dedicated to them completely, at least until the come to market. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

No ads and bonus content! — Get CuriosityStream AND Nebula for less than $12/y https://curiositystream.com/reneritchieJust so that we’re 100% crystal clear on this — Apple can call the next iPhone… pretty much anything they want. iPhone 12s. iPhone 13. Sure. iPhone… 20. iPhone 20… 21. Why not? iPhone baker's dozen. Nope. Hard nope. iPhone Extreme. Ok. Fine. iPhone… Mother of Dragons. Come at me.So the only real question here is… what *will* they call it?Some people believe Apple will honor the superstition and just never name any iPhone 13. Like many buildings just don’t have 13th floors. Others, that Apple will once again want to use the S to properly set expectations for a phone with the same design but better internals, including a better version of a new radio technology and the introduction of a new biometric fingerprint identity scanner. Just like they did almost a decade ago with the iPhone… 5s. And go with iPhone 12s.But how does Apple decide?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Parler vs. Apple & Twitter — Real Lawyer Reacts! (Feat. Legal Eagle)

Apple, like Google and Amazon, has removed the social networking app Parler.Before that happened, there were some people who said Apple shouldn’t be hosting a platform used for planning violence and inciting sedition. Since it’s happened, some people have said Apple shouldn’t be censoring platforms or infringing on the first amendment and freedom of speech. Some are upset because they’re absolutists and think Apple, and Twitter, and Facebook, and the rest of Big Tech, should always or never moderate apps on the store. Others only seem to care one way or another when it affects their particular issue or team. Either way, since most of us aren’t using any of these terms consistently or with much if any context, and since I’m not a lawyer, I figured I’ll call in someone who is.

Where are the specs?!! Get CuriosityStream AND Nebula for less than $12/y (41% off!) https://curiositystream.com/reneritchieIn this video, I’m going to explain to you why Apple absolutely will not tell you how much RAM is in an iPhone. Why they will hide how many milliamp hours the battery is. Why even the clock speed of their custom chipsets isn’t listed on the spec sheet. And why you can’t even turn your own AirPods on or off your own self. And I’m going to so it — right now!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Why iPhone 12 mini is DOOMED. Finally*.

iPhone 12 mini reality check!

And saying "the iPhone 12 mini might not be a big hit."But with Apple releasing an unprecedented 5 new phones this year, including not just a smaller, less expensive SE but splitting the market between a smaller mini and a less expensive SE, what is consumer demand really showing us to date?To find out, I called up one of the best and brightest industry analysts in the business, Creative Strategies’ own Carolina Milanesi.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

WRONG About M1 Mac Speed — Apple Silicon Explained!

Why, M1? Get CuriosityStream AND Nebula for less than $15/y (26% off!) https://curiositystream.com/reneritchieIn this video I’m going to tell you exactly why Apple’s brand new M1 chipset is just kicking the ever-loving silicon out of Intel right now, kicking them right out of the low power, entry-level Macs and, in some cases, posting results that just clown even higher power, higher-end PCs.Why? Because of Apple's heavy investment in integrated, scalable architecture. That's what lets them cover all these products efficiently, without the complexity that would come from having to treat each one as a separate client. And it also means M1 gets to leverage many of the same latest, greatest IP blocks as A14. Only the implementation differs.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Reviewer Reacts — Bad M1 Mac Hot Takes!

For Discord, early access, and more, join my Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/reneritchie Apple has just released their first series of custom silicon Macs — the lowest end, lowest power ones, I’m talking fanless MacBook Air, 2-port MacBook Pro, and silver Mac mini.A lot of people have been blown away by the ludicrous mode performance, responsiveness, efficiency, and for the MacBooks specifically, battery life. Like, beating most of Apple’s other machines, never mind most of the machines in the industry. On ultra-low power.Others have been legitimately critical or concerned about compatibility, expandability, and customizability as Apple focuses less on traditional computers and increasingly on computing appliances.Some, though… some have just gone full-on scalding hot take.

M1 Benchmarks & Experience — MacBook Pro, Air, Mac mini!

M1 Benchmark STONKS! For Discord, early access, and more, join my Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/reneritchie I’ve been switching between these three new Apple Silicon M1 machines for about 3 days now, so this is all super preliminary and super… ficial. But if you’re trying to make a decision now, now, now, I’m going to give you my first impressions, and I’ll throw a bunch of shots up on screen while I’m doing it for all you geeky and graphics benchers and deep in the workflow trenchers out there.And keep in mind while I’m saying all this, M1 is the first, and therefore worst Mac silicon Apple is ever going to ship. It’s analog to Intel’s Y-series. Designed for ultra-low power systems, prioritizing efficiency as in battery life, the performance is not really but kinda incidental, and there will be more powerful chips both for the bigger Mac systems this generation, and future generations beyond this first set of chips to come. So, keep this as a baseline in the back of your minds. You know, because they’re about to be blown.So let’s compare the 8GB M1 MacBook Air to the 16GB Intel 10th Gen Y-series MacBook Air, the 16GB 2-port M1 MacBook Pro to the 16GB 4-port Intel 10th Gen U-Series MacBook Pro — yes, it’s a higher end system, but it’s all I had handy — and the 8GB M1 Mac mini to the 8GB Intel 8th Gen U-Series Mac mini.All of these Mac max out at 16GB of LPDDR4X RAM, but so do the systems they’re replacing, and Apple is good enough with memory compression, ultra-fast swap, and other mitigations, that for these types of ultra low power, entry-level systems, it’s just a non-issue.Also, the Intel Macs all have Apple T2 co-processors, which are basically A10 chipsets, which will help out for things like H.264/265 encode and decode, so for some tests it’s not even a fair fight. Still... the results are suprising!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Get CuriosityStream AND Nebula for less than $15/y (26% off!) https://curiositystream.com/reneritchie The iPhone 12 mini is just… a more elegant weapon for a more civilized age.It’s like… For years… for years, you’re dreaming of this sports car, this little, convertible, hotter than Hades sports car, super legere, that you’ve just always wanted but for so many reasons just never… just couldn’t have… couldn’t get.That’s how small iPhone lovers have been feeling ever since Apple replaced the iPhone 5s with the big and bigger iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. They just haven’t been able to get the phone they wanted in the size they loved. Sure, the OG iPhone SE provided some temporary relief. The iPhone 5s with iPhone 6s internals. But then, just… nothing. Especially after the iPhone X with its full screen, modern design, and Face ID. And the XS and 11, just went Max instead of mini. Like giving them a paper cut and pouring lemon juice on it.Even the second-generation iPhone SE, released earlier this year, was based on the iPhone 8 with iPhone 11 internals. Same size as the 6, no smaller, and same classic design as well, not the not hotness.So you hang onto your original SE, get iOS 14 but start worrying you might not make it to 15. And you start to wonder. You start to doubt. Will Apple ever make a smaller iPhone again? Could Apple? Would the OLED display even be legible or practical? Would the latest, greatest A-series processor be able to run without burning or browning out? Would a battery that small with a chipset and display that big even last more than an hour and change?And, for small iPhone lovers, for years, the only answer has been nothing and more nothing.Until now. Until the iPhone 12 mini.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

iPhone 12 mini — Should you Pre-Order?!

Don't get it wrong! For Discord, early access, and more, join my Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/reneritchie For half a decade now the iPhones have been big and bigger. This year, bigger and bigger-er than ever. But also this year, Apple is finally giving us something small again. Not an SE, or special edition, but a full-on iPhone 12 mini!Some people will want the iPhone 12 mini because it costs less, but others will want it because it is less. Easier to hold in the hand and type with on the go, easier to fit in the pocket or bag.But… with a smaller phone comes a smaller display and, most importantly for some, a smaller battery.So, if you’re having trouble deciding. If you’re still trying to figure out if the iPhone 12 mini is worth the trade-offs, if finally having a small phone again is worth that smaller display and battery capacity if you’re hoping the mini is just an even bigger flex than the Max, but worried it might not work for you IRL.Then this is the video for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

iPhone 12 & iPhone 12 Pro — MEGA Review!

iPhone 12 Reviewed! Go to https://www.brilliant.org/reneritchie and sign up for FREE. First 200 also get 20% the annual Brilliant subscription! Yes, the iPhone 12 Pro is the same price as the iPhone 11 Pro. A bit less, even, when you adjust for storage, especially for storage upgrades.The regular iPhone 12, though, well that’s $100 to $150 bucks more, depending on your carrier and AC adapter situation. But, for that money, you’re getting an iPhone 12 that’s closer, just far closer than ever to being an iPhone 12 Pro.Similar redesigns, just different colors and an aluminum band with a gloss back instead of a stainless steel band with a mate back. Very similar OLED display, just not quite as bright when not showing HDR. Identical A14 Bionic chipset, just 4GB of memory instead of 6. Identical LTE and 5G, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0, and U1 ultra-broadband. Same App Store and Apple Store support. The only big difference is the additional telephoto camera and LiDAR scanner, and double the extra base storage.And then, for just $150 more than that, you’re getting the full on iPhone 12 Pro with… all of that.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Health Records on Your iPhone — Is it Safe?

Apple’s just announced that their Health Records feature, which has been scaling up rapidly in the U.S., is now coming to Canada and the U.K. as well. That means, once your medical center adds support, you'll be able to connect to your records and sync them to your iPhone. That way, you have access to them any time, from anywhere. I had the chance to chat briefly with Kevin Lynch, Apple’s VP of software about it, and just had to interrupt my previously scheduled programming and make this quick video sharing some thoughts. Because I love tech and I especially love tech that uses strong privacy and security features but also connects us and makes our lives better. And that’s exactly what Health Records does.Here's how!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Then the second, the one that went from 720 to 1080p, in 2012.After that, the Apple TV spent some time in the desert, going through numerous false-starts. From DVR to higher-end gaming console to… in the end… the future of TV is apps. That hit in 2015, and then got revved to 4K and HDR in 2017.Then, nothing. Despite all the leaks. Despite all the rumors. Just nothing and more nothing.

Apple vs. Anti-Trust! Get CuriosityStream AND Nebula for less than $15/y (26% off!) https://curiositystream.com/reneritchie Apple’s App Store is under attack. They’re being sued by Spotify in the EU and Epic in the US. Some developers, big and small, are beyond salty over a host of gripes, new and institutional, real and imagined. Gamers are pissed over the lack of Xbox streaming. And regulators have them in their sights as well, breaking out all the old favorites: Monopoly abuse. Anti-competitiveness. Anti-trust. And they… well, they don’t operate with lasers. They operate with hammers. Giant, Götterdämmerung, Mjölnir-like hammers.So, what can Apple do? More to the point, what should Apple do? In this video I’m going to go over what’s most commonly being suggested, from side-loading and alternate app stores to cutting the 30% and offering alternate payment options. As well as all the positives, the negatives, the risks, the rewards, and how all of it could affect you.

Epic sued, saying no company — sorry, no *phone* company — had a right to 30% of their tasty, tasty emote and skin sale billions. Epic called Apple a controlling, conniving, anti-competitive monopolist, and Google, open-in-name only, while fear-mongering and outright bullying to stay effectively every bit as closed.Apple and Google retorted that Epic was a grown apps adult, had agreed to the deal, made billions as a result, and was now throwing a temper tantrum to try and claw back just a few billion more.And, now, impossible as it may seem, things just got weirder. Apple threatened Epic’s Unreal Engine.

Apple is WRONG About Xbox Game Streaming

Microsoft has accused Apple of refusing to allow their upcoming Xbox Game Pass Ultimate service onto the iPhone and iPad App Stores.If you’re not familiar with it, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, formerly Project xCloud, promises to let you stream over 100 Xbox games to your phone or tablet for $15 a month.Essentially, to be the Netflix or Spotify — the TV+ or Apple Music — of games. All you can play with just one monthly price to pay.And Microsoft isn’t the only company pushing a service like this. Far from it. Google, Nvidia, Facebook — basically everyone in games is getting into or wants to get into… this game.And Apple’s having none-of-it, not on the iOS App Store at least.And it’s seriously enraged Microsoft… and a lot of iPhone and iPad users who also want them some Xbox on iOS.So, what’s going on?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Wrong About Touch Screen Macs

Almost two years ago, on the old channel I worked for, I did a video about how Apple could add multitouch to the Mac — the benefits, the costs, the challenges, all of it.Because, in the age of the iPad, for a lot of people, a screen without multitouch not just feels but effectively is… broken.And, while I think I got a lot of it right… I also think I got a few things wrong. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Apple Dumps Intel — Explained!

During the #WWDC20 keynote, Tim Cook announced that, just like Apple had previously transitioned the #Mac from PowerPC to Intel processors, they’d now be transitioning it from Intel to Apple silicon. So, while there are still a few more Intel Macs that are going to ship, we’re basically at the end of Core i5 or i7 or i9 processors being what powers the Mac, and at the beginning of something like the A-series currently found in the iPad Pro taking over.

Three months ago, alongside the 2020 iPad Pro and cursor support for iPadOS, Apple announced the Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro.

iPadOS 14 — What the iPad (Pro) Needs Next

I’m… really conflicted when it comes to the future of the iPad. See, part of me wants what everyone on Tech Twitter and Tech YouTube wants: For the iPad, especially the iPad Pro, to gain every feature still missing when compared to the Mac, so that real nerds can do their real work. But, the other part of me wants what Steve Jobs wanted: To keep the iPad as the iPad, the computer for the vast majority of people who, for decades, were underserved by traditional computers. I know it’s really easy to say what Apple or any company should do when you’re not the one in charge of shipping any of it, but that’s sort of the constraints I placed on myself for this video — Not just the rumors of what’s coming next for #iPadOS14 and #iPadPro, but where I think Apple should go next, for everyone, and in ways I think can be implemented in the near future.

iPhone 12 — Touch ID?!

Back in 2017, Apple deleted Touch ID and replaced it with Face ID. They didn’t keep both. They didn’t add Face ID to Touch ID. They went to the brave new world of biometrics and burned the old one down behind them. But, the ashes had barely even settled before we started getting rumors of Touch ID’s return. It’s resurrection. Not just in the new iPhone SE, which some people loved precisely because it had Touch ID, but in the flagship iPhones as well.

How To Protect Your iPhone Privacy and Security

Out of the box, your iPhone tries to strike a balance between security and safety, privacy and convenience. If you have location on, especially for social apps and photos, they can be used to find you and others in case of emergency. But they can also be used to place you and others in situations of tyranny. Videos can help document and prosecute abusers but can also be used to identify and target people standing up to abuse. Online backup can save your data even if your iPhone is taken on damaged, but can also expose your data to extralegal seizure from servers. Notifications and biometrics can help you get things done faster but can also let others get to your things faster. If you’re at home, you probably want to to keep your iPhone set to maximum convenience. Also, if you’re a bad actor of any kind, leave it like that as well. Please and thank you. But, if you’re putting yourself in harms way, if you’re on the front lines as press or health care or to protect the rights, civil liberties, and simple dignity of your family, community, and country, then you should absolutely lock your iPhone down. Hard. In situations where you fear for your security, the best thing to do is get a second, burner phone and lock that down. An older iPhone or iPhone SE works great. If you have the time or money. Either way, here’s how to protect your data. In the extreme.

iPad mini 6 — Not Going Pro?

It may seem like the gap the original iPad mini filled so well has narrowed considerably over the years. I mean, when the mini first launched, the iPhone had just gone 4-inches. But, in short order, Apple went to 4.7 and 5.5-inch Plus displays. Now, 6.5 inches is the Max and, rumor has it, the iPhone 12 might just Max out at 6.7-inches. So, for iPad mini 6, Apple could do what the did with the 12.9-inch iPad Pro and Thanos-snap off half the bezels, keeping the same screen size but making the overall casing size smaller and more portable. That matches up with Kuo’s March rumors, but it also seems to hit up against the ever-growing iPhones even harder. Sure, the iPad mini is different. The aspect ratio is different. Where modern iPhones are slightly wider than 2 by 1, the iPad is still 4 by 3. So, the pages of books and comics better fit the screen, side-by-side apps are useful in portrait, and the keyboard doesn’t blot out the screen in landscape. But, still, the market for that might be shrinking even faster than the bezels. Instead, Apple could do with the iPad mini 6 what they did with the 11-inch iPad Pro: Still Thanos-snap half the bezels, but do it by keeping the same casing size and increasing the screen size. That matches up with Kuo’s May rumors, even if it effectively makes the iPad mini not quite so mini any more. Now, there’s no word on whether or not the iPad mini will actually get the new iPad Pro design language. Apple can reduce the bezels either way, though obviously keeping Touch ID instead of moving to Face ID limits the amount of vertical bezel that can be removed. Unless Apple goes with a side button mounted or under-display Touch ID, but there’s no indication of that yet either. So, what options are there for iPad mini 6? SPONSOR: New Store! New Merch!

Apple Glasses — No Apps?!

Over the last couple of videos I’ve talked about why Apple would make Glasses, basically a face-mounted computational display — and what could actually get people like you and me to buy a pair. One thing I haven’t talked about yet, though, is the developer story… apps. When the original iPhone launched, it came with only the apps Apple had given it. Including the last-minute addition of YouTube. Henri Lamiraux’s software team had just finished a forced march, a marathon of sprints, to get version 1 ready to ship, only to have to turn around and start another for version 2, this time to get the frameworks ready for the SDK event and the App Store ready to launch. Umpteen millions of apps and billions of dollars later, it literally made apps as mainstream, as popular, as music and TV. So, it should have come as no surprise that when the original Apple Watch launched, it had not only the apps Apple had given it, but kinda… sorta… an App Store as well. Back then, on that first version, the App Store lived on the iPhone and so did the app logic. Only the interface and interaction layers were… projected… onto the Watch. All based on Apple’s pre-existing Extensibility frameworks. Now, thanks to Kevin Lynch and the Watch team's own forced marches, Apple got app logic onto the Watch in version 2 and brought the store on-device in version 5. Sure, it’s fair to say that, while there are some legit terrific Apple Watch apps, wrist-based apps in general just haven’t proven as popular or as critical to the Watch’s success as they were the phone’s. Subject for another video. Let me know in the comments if you want to see it. But, that same process, the process of projectables, could prove even more critical and more valuable for Apple’s next small thing. This… is the potential for Apple Glasses apps.

Apple Glasses — CONTROVERSY!

Get access to my first Nebula Original on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, for FREE, when you sign up at CuriosityStream.com/reneritchie After a few years and a steady stream of reports, noted supply-chain exfiltrator extraordinaire, Kuo Ming-Chi, updated his, saying he now expected Apple Glasses to launch sometime in 2022. At that point, the always ascending Jon Prosser of Front Page Tech retorted, saying he’d heard an announcement was planned for as early as this fall’s iPhone event, but may be postponed to next year. Also, that they’d be called Apple Glass and cost $500. Then he went on a plethora of live-streams and podcasts, from the GadgetCast to VypDrive to the CultCast, and added details like they’d have no built-in speakers, but would rely on AirPods, and that there may even be a limited edition version in the shape of Steve Jobs’ famously rounded frames. Think Harry Potter, kids. Which, of course, set an internet already primed by gold-watch, XDR stand, and Mac Pro outrage once again on fire. Bloomberg’s biz-prophet, Mark Gurman, who’s also been reporting on the Glasses for years, called the Steve Jobs frames in specific, and the rest of the stories in general, fiction. Noted code extractor, Steve Troughton-Smith, said he’d laugh at these rumors floating around if not for people taking them seriously. Max Weinbach of XDA Developers, who’s contributed some of his own reporting on live streams and the EverythingApplePro channel, seemed to be on the same page as Prosser. And Prosser, for his part, basically said wait, watch, and see what happens. Now, I personally try to never fall victim to any of the classic blunders. The most famous, of course, is never bet against a dread pirate when death is on the line. But, only slightly less well known, is never get involved in a rumor war on the internet. But none of these people are your dad, so no hashtag Jern or hashtag Gurm in the comments, people. Personally, as you know, the when of the release date and the what of the hardware aren’t even the parts that fascinate me most. Though the rumors and the reporters being so conflicted right now is, in and of itself, fascinating in terms of seeing how the small, loud, but important social part of the market responds to the idea of the product itself. Because, while I covered why Apple I think Apple is making glasses last week — make sure you hit subscribe so you don’t miss any of these videos — the bigger question I have right now isn’t why Apple would make them but… why would any of us buy them?

iPhone 12 — Why No USB-C?

Will the upcoming iPhone 12 finally, finally see Apple ditch the Lightning connector like it’s a headphone jack and go all-in on USB-C? Apple started switching the Mac over with the 12-inch MacBook in 2015. They only gave it one port but… but… that one port was glorious USB-C, the way nature and nerds intended. Then, the very next year, in 2016, Apple switched the entire MacBook Pro lineup to USB-C as well. The entire lineup. But left the iPhone on Lightning. And… how could they? How could they have the Mac and iPhone on different connectors? Who cares if it’d had been that way since the 30-pin Dock connector killed Firewire on the iPod in ought 3. We needed, nay… we demanded a better, brighter future. In 2017, the iPhone X came with an all new, all modern design, the perfect opportunity for an even more modern connector to go with it. But… no. In 2018, the iPad Pro switched to USB-C. So what if it was meant to be a laptop alternative, we wanted that same alternative for the iPhone as well. But… still no. Then, in 2019, the iPhone itself went Pro, blessED Pro, which, like the MacBook Pro and iPad Pro just had to mean USB-C Pro, no? Well, turns out, No. Still No… Biggest troll of the decade — no. So, now… now… on the eve of the iPhone 12 and potentially the next big redesign, dare we nerds hope, dare we nerds dream, that Apple will finally, finally ditch Lightning for USB-C? Well, it's complicated... This is #iPhone12 and USB-C! SPONSOR: Brilliant Go to brilliant.org/reneritchie and sign up for free.

In 2014, Tim Cook introduced the big and bigger iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, and followed them up with one more thing… the Apple Watch.

iPhone 12 Isn't Good Enough

I’ve seen a lot of discussion lately about the iPhone — or just phones in general — being quote-unquote “good enough”. That most of them already do most of the things most of the people need most of the time, and Apple, Samsung, Google, and everyone else should just chill out and stop updating them every year. iPhone 12? Who needs it. It’s exhausting. Enough already. But… is it? I mean really? Now, hear me out… Maybe the iPhone, even the hotly rumored upcoming iPhone 12, maybe all current and expected phones this year, are just scratching the surface of their potential. Of what they can be and what they should be doing for us. So, this… is why the iPhone 12 isn’t good enough yet. Nowhere nearly.

iPhone 12 'ProMotion XDR' Display — Explained!

There’s been a ton of chatter about the iPhone 12 lately. That’s thanks to the deluge rumors from the likes of Jon Prosser, Kuo Ming-Chi, Mark Gurman, Max Weinbach, and others. I’ve covered some of it before, so hit subscribe and check it out. But, this time, I want to focus on the iPhone 12 display. See, reports are saying that Apple is going all-in on OLED across the full range of iPhone 12 devices. No more LCD on the base model, OLED only the Pro. Also, that Apple is going 120Hz, or ProMotion, on the high end, which means that will become the exclusive, Pro-only feature. But, there’s also been a lot confusion about what those things are, what it all means, and how, precisely, it’s all going to work. So, let’s dive into it. This… is the #iPhone12 display.

The TRUTH About Switching from Android to iPhone in 2020

The era of switching from Android to iPhone is over… But is it though? Apple recently released a new iPhone SE that has all the power of an iPhone 11, a camera that can beat out the iPhone XR, Touch ID, and, yeah, a forehead and chin straight out of 2017, but at a price tag of just $399 in the U.S. And it prompted a lot of reaction. Even my pal, Jerry Hildenbrand of Android Central, in an article still making the industry rounds, wrote that the cheapest iPhone has a more powerful processor than the most expensive Android phone So, are people really happy with their choices and their ecosystems? Are they set in their ways and their current phones? Have they decided the grass never really gets any more green? Or, are there frustrations that come up, new features that get added, security scandals that blow up, and new phones at new, lower, price points that… change everything again?

13-inch MacBook Pro (2020) Review

This is Apple’s new 13-inch MacBook Pro. The higher-end version. There are actually two new 13-inch MacBook Pros and, while that might sound confusing, it’s really nothing new. We just tend to forget that Apple has had both lower and higher end models on the market for… basically ever. This year, those models include: 🚶‍♀️- A new, low-end two-port low-end that’s pretty much the old 13-inch but with the new Magic Keyboard and double the storage for the same price, and; 🏃‍♂️- A new, high-end four-port that has that Magic Keyboard, double the storage for the same price, but also newer and optionally much bigger specs.

Personal Technology (Feat. Walt Mossberg — FULL)

Walt Mossberg isn’t just a titan of journalism, he’s every bit as iconic and transformative as many of the products he's reviewed. From 1991 to 2013, he was the personal technology columnist for the Wall Street Journal. Alongside Kara Swisher, Walt also hosted the All Things D conference, which brought some of the biggest names in tech to the stage, separately and together. In 2014, Walt and Kara went off on their own and launched Recode, which they sold to Vox Media in 2015. Walt retired in July of 2017 and, since then, Walt has been devoting his time to causes like the News Literacy Project. Then, and now, what’s impressed me most about Walt, what made me want to be more like Walt, is how he bridged the gap between technology and people. How he deliberately avoided jargon, or buzzwords, or speaking over anyone’s head but also never talked down to anyone either. Never made them feel excluded. On the contrary. In an industry now over-swarming with geeks and tech-heads, Walt kept things relatable too everyone. And I just had to ask him how that all came about.

Where is Apple Watch for Android... and iPad?

Apple announced their second quarter, 2020 financial results last week and despite everything else going on right now, they still managed to rake in over $58 billion dollars. What’s more, wearables revenue, which includes Apple Watch, set a quarterly record. Now, much like the iPod back in the day and the iPad still to this day, the computer watch market pretty much is an Apple Watch market. With one giant, glaring, neon exception.

WWDC 2020 Apple Event Preview!

Apple has just announced that their 31st annual, world wide developers conference, WWDC, will kick off — virtually — on Monday, June 22, 2020. And yeah, that’s three weeks later than usual, but what’s usual this year anyway? If you’re not familiar with it, WWDC — affectionately known as Dub Dub, is the big summer show where, every year, Apple announces updates to all of their operating systems and the developer frameworks for same, which now includes iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, watchOS, and, of course, macOS. Some years, though not every year, Apple also announces new hardware. The new Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR. The iMac Pro and HomePod. MacBooks, iPads, even iPhones back in the days of Steve Jobs. And, now, we have a heavy emphasis on services as well, which are helping to move the needle for Apple even when the rest of the world is on hold. I’m going to try to keep this short… well, who am I kidding, shortish… because I’ve done a bunch of videos on potential announcements already — hit subscribe to see those — and if you want deeper dives on anything else, just let me know in the comments. I’m also going to focus it on the keynote — in a hypothetically much lighter, brighter timeline where we still get something like a traditional WWDC keynote — and leave things like State of the Union, sessions, labs, meet ups, parties, and podcasts for a future video. Maybe with a special guest. Let me know who you’d want to see for that. But, yes, shortish. Promise. On it. This… is the #WWDC2020 Apple Event Preview!

iPhone & Apple Watch EXTREME (Feat. Ray Zahab — FULL)

Ray Zahab… is extreme. Explorer-in-Residence for the Royal Canadian Geographic Society, he’s not content to simply run marathons or ultra-marathons. To bike trails or mountains. No, Ray wants to run and bike continents. Put foot and wheel to the world. The Sahara Desert. 70 kilometers a day for 111 days. 400 kilometers across Canada. The arctic. Namibia. Baffin Island. The Kamchatka peninsula in Russia. Death Valley. The Amazon. And the list goes on and on. What I love most about Ray, though, is that he doesn’t just go off on all these grand, extreme adventures alone. It isn’t just about beating nature or himself. No, his non-profit, impossible2Possible, brings students from around the world along with him, sometimes physically, often virtually. It lets them be be part of the adventure. And he uses a lot of Apple technology to do it: the Mac to edit and share videos and chats, the iPhone to record his explorations, and the Apple Watch to literally help keep him alive. What Ray does is fascinating and inspiring, but I just had to find out more about how and why he does it.

The MacBook ARM

It feels like every year now, new rumors pop up about Apple switching the Mac from Intel processors to custom, Apple-made processors based on ARM. The same type of processors that currently run everything from the iPhone to iPad to Apple TV. Now, scuttlebutt has it that Apple’s had ARM based Macs in the labs for years, just like they Intel Macs in the lab before the big switch to PowerPC — wow, 15 years go already. They’ve just been holding them, like a silicon sword of Damocles, over Intel’s head to encourage Intel to stick to their roadmap. Which is part of what excites so many people about Apple potentially switching the Mac lineup to in-house chipsets: Apple would be in control of it’s own processor destiny on Mac the way it has been on iPhone and iPad. In an age where Intel has suffered from chronic, almost crippling delays in die shrink and process generation, where they’re barely getting to 5 nanometer years behind schedule and still throwing cores at every problem, Apple is already enjoying the benefits of their own A-series on 7 nanometer and moving rapidly towards 5. And yes, those are all marketing names, but suffice it to say Apple is shipping silicon on time and to spec and Intel really, sadly is not. But, on the flip side, many Mac customers have come to enjoy if not totally depend on on the Mac being Intel Inside. The software they run is compiled for x86 and 64. They can easily run Bootcamp or virtual machines so Windows also works on the Mac. And, for those people, the idea of Apple moving away from Intel is terrifying. Now, I’m going to do a series of videos on this where I try to separate facts from feels. Starting with the silicon and with AnandTech’s own Dr. Ian Cutress.

iPhone SE vs. iPhone 8 — The TRUTH!

Apple’s got a brand new iPhone SE and it starts at just $399. I’ve already compared it to the iPhone XR and iPhone 11, because I figured that’s what most potential customers would do. But, a bunch of you asked me to also put the iPhone SE head-to-head against the iPhone 8. Either because you’re considering the upgrade or you’re wondering if getting a discounted iPhone 8 from a carrier or big box store may be an even better deal than a new iPhone SE. And price isn’t always the same as value. So, let’s break it all down! SPONSOR: Brilliant Go to brilliant.org/reneritchie and sign up for free.

WRONG iPhone SE?! (Size & Design)

Apple just released the new iPhone SE. It’s based on the 4.7-inch iPhone 8 platform, home button, Touch ID, and all. And, while that’s fine for many people… for others… not so much. See, some really, really want a return of the original, iconic 4-inch iPhone SE design. The one that not only fit into every pocket, pack, and hand, but disappeared into it. Others, a 5.5-inch Plus-sized model that’ll give them the high-end specs, keep the low-end price, but just stretch things out a little closer to tiny tablet territory. So, will we ever see them? Would they even make sense with today’s components, in today’s market? SPONSOR: Brilliant Go to brilliant.org/reneritchie and sign up for free.

Apple Watch Review: 5 Years Later

5 years ago today, I was standing with Jim Dalrymple of the Loop at the Palo Alto Apple Store when the Apple Watch first went on sale. There was a crowd of people at the door, lined up for hours and around the block. Most of them had seen the original announcement the September before, when Tim Cook had taken the stage at the historic Flint Center in Cupertino, for his first big One More Thing. And again, in March of 2015, at the Yerba Buena center in San Francisco. Many had even come to the try-ons, where they could see the different casing and band collections. When it opened, Jim and I watched everyone…. Watching the watches. Until Tim Cook appeared and asked us which Watch bands were our favorites. Yeah, this is going to be different kind of video. Because I really like the Apple Watch. It has flaws and limitations, I know. I’ve spent the better part of the last five years and countless reviews pointing them. But, it’s also the absolute most important device Apple’s has ever made. Here’s how. And why. SPONSOR: Brilliant Go to brilliant.org/reneritchie and sign up for free.

iPhone SE (2020) Review

Apple has a brand new iPhone for 2020. A $399 U.S. brand new iPhone SE, which is the least expensive we’ve seen since… well, since the original iPhone SE back in 2016. Like the original, it features a classic design, including the Home button and Touch ID, leveled up with the latest, greatest chipset, and what Apple claims is their best single camera system ever.

MacBook Air (2020) Review: One Month Later

Ian Cutress of AnandTech joins me to talk MacBook Air thermals! The new MacBook Air, an update the the 2018 redesign, got pretty good reviews when it came out a month ago. People liked the new keyboard, the new chipsets, and the lower price. But, there were a few criticisms as well. Basically, the still low-res webcam, some concerns about thermal throttling on the faster CPUs, and the battery life. Since then, I’ve had time to pound on the Magic keys, compare the web cam to pretty much everything else I have, really dig into the thermals, and there’s even been a macOS Catalina supplemental update.

New iPhone 12 Home Screen...

Yesterday, I talked about an iPhone 12 diagram supposedly ripped from a leaked internal iOS 14 build. Well, there were also a couple other diagrams leaked as well, one of which shows a new iPhone Home screen. Or, at least that’s how many people ran with it. What it really showed was a Rorschach test for whatever it is you secretly wish the iPhone Home screen, or Springboard, would look like.

iPhone 12: The Secret Weapon

Over the last week or so, a diagram has been making its way across the pillars of the social cross — twitter, Insta, blogs, YouTube. It’s purportedly from that internal December iOS 14 build, the one that everyone and their Animal Crossing pals now seemingly have access to. And it shows the new iPad Pro LiDAR Scanner — that’s LIght Detection and Ranging — but in fully Digivolved iPhone 12 Pro form. That’s lead to a ton of people telling all of us, over and over again, just exactly what it is. But… I’m way more interested in WHY it is.

Last Thursday, Zack Hall from 9to5Mac reported that the long-rumored and widely anticipated next-generation entry-level iPhone would be called the iPhone SE, would come in red, white, and black, with up to 256 GB of storage, and most importantly, the launch was imminent, as soon as last Friday. Jon Prosser of Front Page Tech, meanwhile, previously reported that the iPhone 9 would tentatively be announced on or around April 15 and ship on April 22. (His use of the iPhone 9 name there was just a placeholder.) So, what’s going on… and why? SPONSOR: Brilliant Go to brilliant.org/reneritchie and sign up for free.

iPhone 11 Review: 6 Months Later

The iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro were really well-reviewed when they first came out, especially the cameras, battery life, and the lower price on the base model 11. There were some criticisms though. Namely, the lack of faster charging options and accessories, USB-C, and just how buggy iOS 13 was at launch. But, times change. Hardware gets put through its paces. Software gets updated. New competition comes out. Expectations change. And so do circumstances, especially right now when many of us are stuck at home and depending on our phones in very different ways than we’d planned to. It makes the whole question of what to buy and when to buy it just alternate reality different than it was at launch. So, I’m going to deep dive into all of that, right now.

I'm Rene Ritchie and This... Is My New Channel!

Yeah, new channel. Let me explain: I’m fascinated by Apple. I’ve been covering the company since the launch of the original iPhone, and they’ve come to touch just so many aspects of our culture, our relationships, our lives. They’ve become the lens through which many of us experience the rest of consumer tech as well, from Google to Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, Twitter, and more. I also love the news. I have a Sorkin-esque romantic ideal about how facts righteously presented can inform and empower us. I spent the first 10 years of my career in product marketing, learning how tech companies position their products and problems from the inside. I spent the last 10 in tech media, learning how those products and problems affect all of us. Now I want to spend the next 10 years right here with you. Talking not just about Apple, glorified or vilified, but about all the tech that affects all of our lives. And not just about the news, about what’s happening and when, but diving deep into the analysis behind it, the how and the why. Most importantly, I want to start a new conversation with you about what’s real and what’s not, what’s fact and what’s not, what’s serious and meant to help and educate us and what’s just sensationalism, desperate to manipulate and exploit us. It starts here with this brand new channel and a brand new… mostly daily analysis show, because that’s just what I do. But I have a few other, really exciting projects coming up that I can’t wait to tell you about as well. And here’s where you come in. I’m starting fresh. Starting over. Building everything all back up. And I need your help to do it. So, hit subscribe and set that bell gizmo to always, it’s the only way YouTube will actually tell you when each and every new episode goes live, share this new channel with everyone you know so we can get this all going again fast, and then drop a comment below letting me know just exactly what YOU want to see next as we take this all live.
