Does M1 mean macOS and Mac apps are coming to the iPad Pro? That an M1 iPhone 13 is next? Will Apple bring iPadOS to the Mac or merge the Mac and iPad? Can the original Magic Keyboard work with the new M1 iPad Pro? Should you get 16GB of RAM or is 8GB enough? Will Mini-LED come to the iPhone 13?

There's a new iPad Pro in town and it runs M1, same as the Apple silicon Macs! That means Thunderbolt 3, but also mini-LED on the 12.9-inch model, along with better cameras front and back and new, white Magic Keyboard option. But is it any good? I'm watching Apple's April "Spring Forward" event and bringing you my live analysis and reactions!

Armv9, version 9-A specifically, the next-generation instruction set for Arm processors has been announced and… it’s caused some confusion in the Apple community… I think mainly from people just reading Andrei’s article at AnandTech and assuming all of those generics would also apply to Apple in specific… and wow but does Apple just not work that way. 

So, joined by industry analyst Ben Bajarin, here's the truth about Armv9 and what it may mean for Apple silicon, A15 iPhones and iPads, M2 Macs, and beyond.

There’s a chip shortage. No, not potato chip or corn chip. That might… honestly be worse. But silicon chips. There’s just nowhere nearly enough supply to meet all the demand. Can’t get ‘em for cars. Can’t get ‘em for consoles. Maybe, soon, not even for phones. But what about the next Mac, the next iPhone, the next iPad? A14X, A15, M1X, M2? What about Apple chipsets? Let’s call up industry analyst Ben Bajarin and find out!

I'm talking to David McGavran, CEO of Maxon, and James Rodgers, Director of Lunar Animation, about Redshift coming first to Intel Macs, soon to M1 Macs, and unleashing the full rendering power of the Mac GPU for everyone.

"Today, Maxon announced the immediate availability of Redshift for macOS including support for M1-powered Macs as well as Apple’s Metal Graphics API. Redshift, the award-winning, production-ready renderer, offers a rich feature set including ray switches, flexible shading networks, motion blur, AOVs, deep output, layered EXR and much more. Unlike other GPU renderers, Redshift is a biased renderer that enables artists to adjust the quality of individual techniques in order to get the best performance/quality balance for production. As a Universal solution, Redshift is optimized for high-end performance across both M1- and Intel-powered Macs."
