    If the company continues to double both the CPU and graphics configurations with the Ultra, we’re looking at a Mac chip that tops out at an outrageous 32 CPU cores and 80 graphics cores. And as Apple steps up the memory, you could imagine an option with 256 gigabytes.

    Sounds like it’s going to be a beast. Imagine what the next step up from Ultra could be…

    It’s not a good sign when I’m filled with dread instead of excitement at the prospect of an “ambitious” iOS update 🙄

    I always feel like when there’s a major overhaul happens in iOS, expect it to only be stable on the next major version.

    It has always been this way since iOS 7. Though, when iOS 11 was released, it was buggy as hell. They then decided to highlight stability on the next version 🤣

      Man, the betas for iOS 11 were so buggy that I couldn’t even count them all. It only got good about halfway through the beta cycle. This years and last years beta cycle gave me no problems in contrast.

      Tbf this goes for most updates to IOS (and most other operating systems) that are feature updates. Thats why they dont encourage you to move onto the next version until the first security updates come out. I believe when IOS and IpadOS 17 came out I had to go out of my way to select an option that allows you to update to 17.0. The only operating system where this wont be true will be some Linux distros like Debian where its thoroughly tested before any features are added, this means you only get one update every few years though.

      They do this with macOS too. For example Lion -> Mountain Lion, or Yosemite -> El Capitan.

      I think that macOS releases that focus on “stability” have some permutation of the previous release’s name. For example, Mountain Lion still has “Lion” in the name, and “El Capitan” is a formation within the Yosemite national park.

    As a long time Apple user, I would be happy with a year of stability prioritization. It has been rough since iOS 16.

      I replaced the battery (from Apple) in my iPhone XR 8 months ago and iOS 17 is just destroying how long it lasts. I could easily make it to the end of the day with about 54% on 16 and now it needs to be charged by 5PM (30%) with the same usage as before. First time I’ve ever regretted updating.

      I have an iPad Air with the M1 and the battery drains way faster on that too.

    I for one will be excited to see something new in iOS if it happens. Been bored.

      I’ve been ready for a design update for years. Something new and exciting. The os has essentially looked the same since iOS 7 with only minor visual tweaks.

    As if iOS 17 brought anything useful other than Bugs the only good thing on 17 is the possible preparation for Sideloading in the 17.2 beta.
