  • iirc the display engines are built into the AXX chipsets. As only pro phones get a pro chip, Apple probably does not add the capabilities to drive displays at higher refresh rates to the non-pro silicon. So even if the display itself could go higher, the hardware to drive it is missing, not locked in software.

  • Itโ€˜s good to call out on Apple for delivering subpar displays in a โ€žpremiumโ€œ product. The non-pro phones being 60Hz only in 2024 just to upsell to the pro phones is ridiculous.

  • Peculiar to see that there is an iPhone 15 Pro chip in another, new device. Wasnโ€™t the industry consensus that Apple wanted to move on from the costly first generation N3 node as quickly as possible? For the Mx chips, everything seemed like the M3 generation (also on first gen N3) was just a very shortlived in between stopgap solution with everything seemingly shifting to M4.

  • Maybe an NFT these days, invaluable useless virtual $hit backed by nothing and using lots of compute resources which need electricity generated by fossil fuels. We think youโ€™re gonna love it.

  • If I remember correctly, there is only ever one generation of backup stored in iCloud. Especially in scenarios like yours with different software versions, this is not enough. My recommendation is both still keeping the previous iOS/iPadOS version as long as Apple still supports it during the transition period. And additionally to iCloud backups, do manual backups to a PC or Mac with iTunes/Finder. There you can have multiple backup generations.

  • Did try it on iPad Air M2 with 1.3.6 on iPad OS 17.7 and can confirm this.

  • Tim Apple needs to make sure his services department keeps growing its subscribers. Making the shareholders happy and secure his personal bonus payments.

  • AC networks actually already used the 5GHz band, so this should be fine with standard AX as well. Old 2,4GHz was N only iirc. Only Wifi6E introduced a new 6GHz band, but this is actually unsupported on the Intel AX200, so there is nothing to miss out on. Good retrofit for the little Macbook Air that could ๐Ÿ‘

  • Someone has summoned me?

  • So no new QI2 chargers would be sellable in China? Since the frequency should be a immutable part of the standard this is surely the end of QI2 in China. Strange one for sure.

  • This was just to illustrate that both devices are limited at this point (Air 3 released in 2019, 9th gen in 2021) so the clock is ticking for both of them. If you only have those two options, the 9th gen is at least on A13 instead of A12, so a tad bit faster.

  • I recently replaced my 9th gen iPad with a new M2 Air - and the jump in performance and snappiness was huge. The 9th gen is ok for the money but not really futureproof since it is one of those devices with only 4GB RAM. So when multitasking it could happen that iPad OS closes apps in the background. What this means can range from simply reloading a tab in Safari to losing partially entered data in other apps.

  • If youโ€˜re not holding it wrong, anyway.

  • Thank you for your work and effort to improve on Mlem, I like this app and it is great to see that we will have a new foundation soon for even more features to come.

  • Either this or switch to another backend mode.
