This is Apple’s new 13-inch MacBook Pro. The higher-end version. There are actually two new 13-inch MacBook Pros and, while that might sound confusing, it’s really nothing new. We just tend to forget that Apple has had both lower and higher end models on the market for… basically ever. This year, those models include: 🚶‍♀️- A new, low-end two-port low-end that’s pretty much the old 13-inch but with the new Magic Keyboard and double the storage for the same price, and; 🏃‍♂️- A new, high-end four-port that has that Magic Keyboard, double the storage for the same price, but also newer and optionally much bigger specs. Now, quick reminder: This is a brand-new channel, so hit subscribe and ring the bell so we can hang out in the comments together when new videos goes live, then grab a beverage, maybe a snack, and strap in. This… is the 13-inch MacBook Pro Review. 2020 style.

Walt Mossberg isn’t just a titan of journalism, he’s every bit as iconic and transformative as many of the products he's reviewed. From 1991 to 2013, he was the personal technology columnist for the Wall Street Journal. Alongside Kara Swisher, Walt also hosted the All Things D conference, which brought some of the biggest names in tech to the stage, separately and together. In 2014, Walt and Kara went off on their own and launched Recode, which they sold to Vox Media in 2015. Walt retired in July of 2017 and, since then, Walt has been devoting his time to causes like the News Literacy Project. Then, and now, what’s impressed me most about Walt, what made me want to be more like Walt, is how he bridged the gap between technology and people. How he deliberately avoided jargon, or buzzwords, or speaking over anyone’s head but also never talked down to anyone either. Never made them feel excluded. On the contrary. In an industry now over-swarming with geeks and tech-heads, Walt kept things relatable too everyone. And I just had to ask him how that all came about.

This week, Apple announced a new 13-inch MacBook Pro. Last month, Apple announced a new 12.9-inch iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard dock. Sure, there’s a new 16-inch MacBook Pro and an 11-inch iPad Pro, but since this is a comparison I’m sticking with what’s most comparable. Because, frankly, I wasn’t originally going to do this video. At all. I felt like it was too Apples to… Apple’s other Apples. But you kept asking, you kept saying you had money to spend on just one of Apple’s new 13-ish inch pro portables, you were having trouble deciding on which one to spend it on. Well, I’m here for you. Always. So, I’m doing it. SPONSOR: Brilliant Go to brilliant.org/reneritchie and sign up for free. The first 200 of you who go to this link will get 20% your annual Brilliant subscription.

Apple announced their second quarter, 2020 financial results last week and despite everything else going on right now, they still managed to rake in over $58 billion dollars. What’s more, wearables revenue, which includes Apple Watch, set a quarterly record. Now, much like the iPod back in the day and the iPad still to this day, the computer watch market pretty much is an Apple Watch market. With one giant, glaring, neon exception. You have to have an iPhone to use one. But will you always? SPONSOR: Brilliant Go to brilliant.org/reneritchie and sign up for free.

Apple has just announced that their 31st annual, world wide developers conference, WWDC, will kick off — virtually — on Monday, June 22, 2020. And yeah, that’s three weeks later than usual, but what’s usual this year anyway? If you’re not familiar with it, WWDC — affectionately known as Dub Dub, is the big summer show where, every year, Apple announces updates to all of their operating systems and the developer frameworks for same, which now includes iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, watchOS, and, of course, macOS. Some years, though not every year, Apple also announces new hardware. The new Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR. The iMac Pro and HomePod. MacBooks, iPads, even iPhones back in the days of Steve Jobs. And, now, we have a heavy emphasis on services as well, which are helping to move the needle for Apple even when the rest of the world is on hold. I’m going to try to keep this short… well, who am I kidding, shortish… because I’ve done a bunch of videos on potential announcements already — hit subscribe to see those — and if you want deeper dives on anything else, just let me know in the comments. I’m also going to focus it on the keynote — in a hypothetically much lighter, brighter timeline where we still get something like a traditional WWDC keynote — and leave things like State of the Union, sessions, labs, meet ups, parties, and podcasts for a future video. Maybe with a special guest. Let me know who you’d want to see for that. But, yes, shortish. Promise. On it. This… is the #WWDC2020 Apple Event Preview!

Two months ago, Apple launched an updated MacBook Air. This week, Apple launched an updated 13-inch MacBook Pro. Hit subscribe to see my takes on both of them, but one of the questions I got quickest and hardest was this — which one should you get? Because, thanks to some quirks of Apple, the higher end MacBook Air now seems to have a really big overlap with the lower end MacBook Pro. But, like Transformers, these smaller MacBooks are hiding more differences than meet the eye. This… is the #MacBookAir vs. the #MacBookPro — 13-inch FIGHT!

Apple has just launched a new 13-inch MacBook Pro. And, at first glance, it seems a little confusing. But, here’s what you have to understand right up front — There are really two new 13-inch MacBook Pros out now: 🚶‍♀️- A 2-port low-end that’s pretty much the old 13-inch but with the new Magic Keyboard, and; 🏃‍♂️- A 4-port high-end that has that Magic Keyboard, but also newer, higher, more modern specs.

Ray Zahab… is extreme. Explorer-in-Residence for the Royal Canadian Geographic Society, he’s not content to simply run marathons or ultra-marathons. To bike trails or mountains. No, Ray wants to run and bike continents. Put foot and wheel to the world. The Sahara Desert. 70 kilometers a day for 111 days. 400 kilometers across Canada. The arctic. Namibia. Baffin Island. The Kamchatka peninsula in Russia. Death Valley. The Amazon. And the list goes on and on. What I love most about Ray, though, is that he doesn’t just go off on all these grand, extreme adventures alone. It isn’t just about beating nature or himself. No, his non-profit, impossible2Possible, brings students from around the world along with him, sometimes physically, often virtually. It lets them be be part of the adventure. And he uses a lot of Apple technology to do it: the Mac to edit and share videos and chats, the iPhone to record his explorations, and the Apple Watch to literally help keep him alive. What Ray does is fascinating and inspiring, but I just had to find out more about how and why he does it.

I’ve done a bunch of videos recently about the iPhone SE. Subscribe and you won’t miss any of them. But there’s another new iPhone coming this year on the exact opposite end of the spectrum. Kinda. I’m talking about the iPhone 12 — or whatever Apple decides to call the 2020 flagships. And there are just a metric ton of rumors going around about it already, from the obvious to the absurd. So, let’s break it all down.

It feels like every year now, new rumors pop up about Apple switching the Mac from Intel processors to custom, Apple-made processors based on ARM. The same type of processors that currently run everything from the iPhone to iPad to Apple TV. Now, scuttlebutt has it that Apple’s had ARM based Macs in the labs for years, just like they Intel Macs in the lab before the big switch to PowerPC — wow, 15 years go already. They’ve just been holding them, like a silicon sword of Damocles, over Intel’s head to encourage Intel to stick to their roadmap. Which is part of what excites so many people about Apple potentially switching the Mac lineup to in-house chipsets: Apple would be in control of it’s own processor destiny on Mac the way it has been on iPhone and iPad. In an age where Intel has suffered from chronic, almost crippling delays in die shrink and process generation, where they’re barely getting to 5 nanometer years behind schedule and still throwing cores at every problem, Apple is already enjoying the benefits of their own A-series on 7 nanometer and moving rapidly towards 5. And yes, those are all marketing names, but suffice it to say Apple is shipping silicon on time and to spec and Intel really, sadly is not. But, on the flip side, many Mac customers have come to enjoy if not totally depend on on the Mac being Intel Inside. The software they run is compiled for x86 and 64. They can easily run Bootcamp or virtual machines so Windows also works on the Mac. And, for those people, the idea of Apple moving away from Intel is terrifying. Now, I’m going to do a series of videos on this where I try to separate facts from feels. Starting with the silicon and with AnandTech’s own Dr. Ian Cutress.
