  • I… like

    I do quite enjoy listening to these two chatting through what’s happening in the Apple world. But like, whatever you, like, do, don’t start, like, focusing on how like often Mayo like says the word ‘like’. You won’t like, like it.

Q: Why might Apple shift focus to the M7 over continuing with M6 Pro/M6 Macs?
Gurman's reporting suggests Apple wants bigger leaps in on-device AI and performance with the M7, plus resource constraints mean prioritizing the generation with the most potential impact, even if it means skipping some mid-cycle updates.
