Apple's Mac Announcement Week Is Coming
0 Facebook x.com Reddit
Apple promised us a week of what will likely be more Mac announcements, just as analysts are starting to talk about iPhone sales falling, and Apple Intelligence has finally caught up with us.
Not that it matters when this podcast is recorded, but this time you'll hear Wesley Hilliard mid-sentence as Apple makes its latest announcement. We practically need a “Breaking News” theme.
This announcement promises a week of excitement — Apple's words — so Wes and William Gallagher start counting on their fingers what might come out and when. Plus, it's an interesting week for new Mac releases, because it's pretty sure that the first round of Apple Intelligence will be released on October 28.
It's not like Apple to try to steal its own thunder, so maybe there's a connection there. It's possible these new Macs are using Apple Intelligence in some way we don't know about yet.
Apple Intelligence is on both the Mac and iPhone, but it's clear from testing the betas that it's going to be used the most on iOS and iPadOS. So maybe Apple just thinks the number of people using Macs is dwarfed by the number of iPhone users.
Although we're also at the time of year where analysts are starting to report a decline in iPhone orders. This time, it's being claimed that the iPhone 16 lineup is failing because Apple Intelligence hasn't met Apple's expectations.
You know, Apple Intelligence, which won't be released until October 28th.
