I’m Dumb and Spent $7,000 on the New Mac Pro

The big headline is Apple’s Vision Pro headset, but they announced other stuff too! A new 15” MacBook Air, an M2 Mac Studio, an Apple Silicon Mac Pro and a bunch of software! Let’s take a look at the new Macs in addition to iOS 17, watchOS 10, iPadOS 17, and macOS Sonoma! Oh, and that little AirPods update-a diamond in the rough!

My understanding was the contact poster was created for you, by you and then auto shared to the iPhone you're calling. Similar to the photo/name sharing in iMessage but automatically.

[@jack_2612]

it's definitely how it works

[@4Zaiks]

@@jack_2612 Yep. You just choose what your contact card looks on others devices when you call them and you have no control over what theirs looks on your phone when they call you.

[@elliottslab]

That’s what I was thinking you do your own

[@domdigi]

Came here to comment the same thing

[@salemsayed]

same

[@ChandiraG]

2:50 I don't think the idea was for you to create the Contact Poster. Each person creates their own poster and whenever their number or email associated with their Apple ID is added as one of your contacts the Poster would be shared too. Similar to how the profile picture can be shared with people you text with in iOS 16. Then the person who is saving the contact can choose the shared Poster or have their own image for the contact.

[@Moftoo]

This was my impression also.

[@alexfoxy]

[@HearMeLearn]

[@sp3lllz]

the contact poster works that you create your contact poster and then it updates on your coneacts iphones so this in theory means that everyone is respresented the way they want to be on everyone elses iphone which solves the lazy contact management entireley as everyone maintains their own contact record.

[@alifpr]

This is the same thing I picked up on the keynote, and it will be awesome if every one of your contacts are nice people. But then imagine someone pranking everyone by putting up an NSFW photo as their poster 💀

When we see the price of the Mac Pro, and with no iMac Pro in sight, there’s no way Apple could have dropped the Studio product lineup… as d why would they in the first place. It’s the only pro Mac Apple makes that isn’t cramped into a laptop (thermal constraints, TB4 screen limitations) that non-rich kids can afford.

[@DryRoastedLemon]

Regarding gaming: Apple actually showed footage of a DX12 Windows game running as part of the game porting toolkit, and they've built a translation layer similar to Proton to aid developers in getting their games up and running. It's apparently built on top of Wine/Crossover, much like Proton. They really didn't spend much time on this (probably because it's very rough), but it is interesting to see this coming from Apple themselves.

[@raeveimho]

They probably didn’t spend much time on it because they spent more time in the Platform State of the Union, and have several sessions this week on porting a game.

[@dealloc]

Also definitely better than them trying to create their own for a couple of reasons; 1) More likely faster support for newer games unlike what we've seen take years before a game is even deemed partially supported by CrossOver and the like, and 2) Apple contributing back to Wine (and potentially CrossOver). Although, I wonder what will happen with Codeweavers/CrossOver since it is only really selling launcher and tooling, the rest is open source and upstreamed to Wine.

[@jonathanodude6660]

@@dealloc with valve and apple both working on crossover forks, id say the devs are pretty happy with their position rn. their blog seemed to indicate that too. we may even see a point where its practically inbuilt into macos and so it can run games or other software even without a port.

[@dealloc]

@@jonathanodude6660 I don't know about the last part. Apple is not the type of company that integrate things they don't own or create; usually they create additional steps and serve it for developers. Also considering the amount of customer support they'd have to deal with for something that they don't own to the core would be a huge overhead, even for them, to manage. Wine is great and I love it for what it brings to Linux and Mac users. But it's not the most stable due to its nature and it hardly will be unless they got unfederated access to all the APIs they need to translate, including drivers etc.

[@jonathanodude6660]

@@dealloc I disagree. I’ve already downloaded it to my mac (just to see if it would work) from the apple dev site. I am not willing to pay for a dev account so I’ll just wait until the public beta to use it, but even if they end up baking it into just Xcode, it’s functionally part of macOS. It will mean that there is compatibility where there used to be none, and it would still be on devs to make native ports. Apple tweaking how it works in software updates would be to be expected since it’s meant to be a dev tool, not a user tool. It wouldn’t be on apple to make every program work, because that’s not the point, but if every program did work, that would be huge. Also you would still be able to configure it with other versions of wine like you can in cross code and create your own versions if you really needed to. Since it seems like you just create a wrapper the normal way it works then you can just not update the wine version for a wrapper that works already and never have to worry. I can’t see a user complaining to apple that there’s no version of wine (open source software) that runs a game perfectly and apple paying any attention to that user. Remember this is supposed to be a test of how well your game runs on mac. Any other use may be tolerated but not endorsed by apple.

[@delusionaldoctor]

14:37 They did redesign the app view for watchOS to a bubble grid that only has vertical scrolling now. They didn't touch on it in the keynote and I don't see it mentioned on the watchOS 10 webpage but it was the first thing I noticed when they showed the app view in the keynote and is confirmed by user posts on Reddit. Still somewhat the same sure, but it's much more linear and manageable to navigate when the app view is limited to one axis of movement instead of three.

Android has had something similar to Live Voicemail for a few years now, but it's a Pixel exclusive. You have to choose to send the caller to your assistant and it goes to a different location from your voicemail, but it is interactive and you can pick up in the middle of the caller's response. I'm guessing iOS Live Voicemail does something similar but dumps it to your voicemail afterward.

Pretty much most of the new iPhone features I was like eh with not really getting the use at least for me until they got to check in. Which is just absolutely fantastic and already useful. There is an app through my university to this automatically but if one does not check in it calls campus security which I can see going wrong easily if I just forget to say I arrived one day, so I always have to do this manually through text. So a way to simplify the process is great. Especially if I can use the feature in a busy group chat so no matter what someone will be near their phone if I don’t get to where I need to be in time and can reach out to me faster.

It’s a lot to spend for some pci slots compared to the studio with ultra chip. Will there be compatibility issues where none have been tried with apple silicon before I don’t think there should’ve been a Mac Pro unless they did 2 x m2 ultra chips for 48 core cpu/152 core GPU. It has all the room for cooling and power supply

[@MarcosElMalo2]

I think only a very small percentage (less than 1%) really have a need for expansion slots. This will be great for them. There’s also the built-in and beefed up Afterburner, that was previously a $2000 upgrade option. It’s not clear to me if this is a M2 Ultra feature or if it’s exclusive to the Mac Pro. Quinn has a good point about many hardware cards moving to external devices, but it wasn’t just because of lack of slots. Back in the day, an i/o card for analog-to-digital conversion often required a breakout box or cable, so manufacturers just moved the “card” into the box. It also makes it convenient (or more functional) because parts of the interface (gain knobs, for example) are physical and out in front. I think the industry was already moving towards this as laptops were being used as the basis for portable studios. It just made more sense. I find it funny that these i/o boxes are still sometimes called “sound cards”.

[@unquestionabletv]

I do think the SOC will be user upgradable as their push has been that way anyway. I imagine you will be able to purchase M3 Ultra chips to replace through the program they started in about two years.

[@MarcosElMalo2]

Yeah, that thought occurred to me, but I bet it will be pricey as hell. It will still be worth it for some users. The main customers for this equipment are at the very high end. They might be leasing the equipment anyway. 99.99% of us don’t need slots or extra i/o capability of a beefed up afterburner (which is now “free”). But for that 0.01%, this Mac Pro is going to be big ass titties.

If we don't get these features then this is a hobbled machine right out of the gate. PCIe 4 slots are nice, but PCIe 5 is now starting to appear, and will probably be the standard within a year. This feels like a "ship it now or else" product. It gives me almost no reason to upgrade my 2019 Mac Pro.

It was weird, no announcement for CXL Memory Support. M2 is still a disappointment. Maybe with M3 Apple will finally update the GPU to the current level and add PCIe 6.0 and CXL 2.0 Support.

Chrome had this App feature. It's a bit hidden when the website doesn't natively support it, but it works great. You can switch a tab to the app and the app to the app without reload. I hope Safari's implementation at least as good as Chromes.

Great video. Thanks... I watched because of the Mac Pro section. I'm still using a 2012, 5,1 Mac Pro as my main machine. 64 Gb RAM, 4 x 2Tb internal SSD's, two 30" Cinema Display. I'd continue to use it but the software is falling behind. The M2 Ultra Mac Pro would fit the bill if it was expandable like the 5,1... It's not. I'll probably end up with the maxed out Mac Studio Ultra with a couple of monitors and two or three external SSD's. Pity. Apple's only thinking about the shareholders now, not the users... as it did so well in the past.

Upgraded M2 15 inch comes very close to the pro, I am using M2 Air with huge external screen in clamshell mode anyways and its extremely portable when it's needs to be, so still it's a good value and slick with same performance as 15, great option still for web developers like me.

I did the same thing, almost anyway. Macbook M2 Max, 16", 64Gb memory, 2TB SSD, and OMG. This machine will be smarter than me for as many years as I have left. But first I get to learn a lot again! Yet so far I screwed up the OS in just one night, trying to put a driver into it so that I can not only read, but also write to my many NTSF formatted hard drives. Thank you Ventura (and there's a back story that you know I'm sure). So now I can not read, or write to any of my drives. I'll solve it, but I will have to reload the OP SYS, and possibly start from reformatting the internal drive, and reloading everything. It's a long story, and this is your channel - but yeah, I spent a little over 5200.00 and 1 week before 280.00 (total cost) for the new AirPods. Newest I-Phone is next, then watch, and then VR to top it all off - although I'll wait for more apps and practical use for the goggles and, I hope - price drops. I waited on this for about 9 months or so, from when I first decided to go for it. Everyone said wait... always something I have heard through the many years. No longer. This will probably be my last computer honestly... so I wanted it to be more than I needed.

Still can’t setup and sync an Apple Watch with an iPad. My Apple Watch updated and now can’t be synced or pair with the hold iPhone I had. It used to work with but Apple bricked it. Now the Apple Watch is in a drawer. I have a perfectly good iPad but in apples eyes I don’t have the right type or amount of products.
