The issue with solutions like this is the amount of power draw they require for the cooling potential. In non-battery powered ultra slim devices that have a low power draw. They may have a market, but they also cost a lot so that tends to be industrial applications that can absorb the cost and don’t have high thermal load.
That is why the demo is with a MacBook Air and they need to use three of them.
It is and has been used in industrial applications for a long time. Situations where you don’t want a spinning fan. But those are you say low power sustained cooling.
Yeah, that cooling solution actually ends up drawing more power than multiple high-performance, Apple Silicon CPU course
From the EU perspective iMessage does not even qualify as having enough regular users
It will be a lot of work to go correctly without leaking user info
Given a large part of the GSMA are gov agencies or carriers that are under gov pressure and subject to well established wire tapping requirements I would be very surprised if encryption is adopted. It was proposed during the original spec and refused and again more recently refused.
If apple had managed to add haptic feedback to the Touch Bar so that one could use it without always looking at the display requirin presser to trigger a button and using haptics well to let you feel the edge of each button and slider being slid it would have worked but without haptics most users and devs did not care for it.
It better to say the put effort into bespoke designing it rather than just taking part of the Max chips design… why did they put this effort in? I expect the reason is yields are lower on 3nm and cost per mm2 is much higher… You can see from the die shots how everything is packed much tighter on the M3 Pro compared to the M2 pro (this takes a lot of work to do and still have the internal frabic within the chip). Apple clearly wanted to shink the die size down otherwise they would have had to increase the prices of Macs with the M3 Pro.
I think they are, most Indi games are using Unity or Unreal and are not pushing the envelope of HW like this one… but these AAA titles shipping (at full console prices) are important for showing that devs can charge real money… many devs do not consider porting as they assume they would need to make the game free to play full of ads for it to work on the AppStore if apple can show that people will pay real money then the market changes a lot for indie devs were the work is not much but they do not want to make the game a horrible mess of ads and in app purchases.
I expect they will yes, but they might do this gradually, eg release a new screen assembly that is not compatible with the existing edge trim.
From internals they already have this with the AMD upgrade requiring you to update other internal parts. like wifi etc
