Apple October event: 5 things you might have missed at Unleashed
The Apple October event is about computing with the number of audio that is worth thrown into a good size. While the 13-inch Macbook and 16-inch pro disclosure of the new takes the spotlight, there is a lot of news if you don’t pay attention.
There is a revelation about the successor of the Apple M1 chipset, the first silicone computer in-house. Or more precisely, the successor – both M1 Pro and M1 Max surprise, which claimed Apple is a leap and a stronger limit than M1, even though we have to do a lot of testing to know what exactly.
Even outside the chipset, it is clear that the 14-inch New MacBook Pro and the MacBook Pro 16-inch has increased in their predecessors only thanks to backwards on several ‘innovation’ designs of the past few years, such as adding back on HDMI and Magsafe Port and Jack headphones. The touch bar oft-allegations lost, replaced with basic function keys.
In the end, we got a new airpod, which combined some of the best features of the pro airpods (but did not cancel the noise, unfortunately). And the mini homepod now comes in more colors, great for those who are bored with uniform black and gray from each other smart speaker on the market.
It’s all highlights that you might get just from the headlines that bounce after the event, but here are the five things you might miss on Apple Unleashed.
MacBook Pro has several configurations that drive prices … Way up
While no one deals with Mac Pro M1 in terms of options that can increase list prices, the new MacBook Pro model has more choices at checkout than its predecessor quickly raising prices. This includes options for more RAM and storage, for example, but also something new: option to choose between five chipset configurations for 14 inches and three for 16-inch MacBook Pro.
You will not just choose between M1 Pro and M1 Max Pamungkas, too. The 14-inch model starts at Apple M1 Pro with an 8-core CPU and a 14-core GPU, which can be driven to a 10-core CPU and a 16-core GPU at an additional cost. Two levels of higher increase switches to Max M1 chipset, which appear on the 10-core CPU and 32-core GPU. The new 16 inch model has a M1 Pro Top-Tier model (10-core CPU and 16-core GPU) along with the M1 Max configuration.
While we still don’t know much about the difference between the two chipsets, we know they have a difference in ability because of their memory controllers: M1 Pro supports up to 32GB of integrated memory for up to 200Gb / s bandwidth memory, while M1 Max supports up to 64GB of integrated memory and memory bandwidth up to 400GB / s. As other TechRadar colleagues show, M1 Max means you won’t need a gaming laptop for video editing anymore.
Load all the options for the most expensive 16-inch MacBook Pro and you are looking at the price of $ 6,100 / £ 5.899 / au $ 9,149. Wow.
MacBook Pro Battery Life can last up to 21 hours … but maybe more like 14
Yes, Apple brags about the battery life of the new MacBook Pro model, claims that 14-inches get video playback up to 17 hours, while 16-inch capable of up to 21 hours. Presumably, that’s when watching video media without being involved in heavier activities; If you actually do some wireless web searches, ‘because Apple seems to call the activity relaxed to moderate, expect your battery to last more than 11 hours in 14 inches and 14 hours on 16-inch websites, per site.
