M1 in everything but iPhone? — 💡 Go to https://skl.sh/reneritchie01221 and first 1,000 will get a 1 month FREE trial of Skillshare!

In this video, I’m going to tell you exactly why Apple isn’t putting M1 into the iPhone. Not the current iPhone 13, and not the upcoming iPhone 14 either. iMac, sure. iPad Pro, why the hell not. But iPhone? No. iPhone Pro. No.

So... why not? At the very least, why not the iPhone Pro? It’d give us Thunderbolt, if nothing else, yes? Still no.

And for two main reasons! Let me explain...

Could Apple out-max the M1 Max? — 💡 Go to https://skl.sh/reneritchie01221 and first 1,000 will get a 1 month FREE trial of Skillshare!

M1. Then M1 Pro and M1 Max. Now… M1 Max Plus? M1 Extreme? M1 Intel: Endgame? Whatever it’s called, it’s the latest rumor surrounding Apple’s silicon roadmap. Not a dual or quad M1 Max, like previous reports suggested, but rather another escalation in compute cores right on the existing die. But what does that even mean?

OLED vs Mini LED vs MicroLED — What wins?

💡 First 1,000 people who go to https://skl.sh/reneritchie01221 will get a 1 month FREE trial of Skillshare!

$2000 and the MacBook Pro doesn’t even have an OLED Display. Never mind the $1100 iPad Pro. Why? Because OLED is… hella problematic. It’s expensive, leading-edge supplies are limited, it allows for always-on but it’s prone to burn-in, smearing, and off-axis color shifting. it decays unevenly, and while it can be flexible and provides the deepest, truest blacks, it struggles with peak brightness. Like hitting that subscribe button so we can build the best community in tech… brightness.

So, what do you do? I mean, besides hitting that button and cursing in the comments. Well, if you’re Apple, you power word kill regular old LCD, just obliterate it from the premium lineup. Then you divide and conquer. Build up OLED on the smaller devices while hedging with mini-LED on the bigger ones. Then… then you make them fight it out, like Kaiju and Jaegers… or just wait for micro-LED to mature and extinction-level event both of them.

M1 iPad Pro now or wait for M2?

🔥 SURPRISE SALE! CuriosityStream + Nebula for less than $12 a YEAR! https://curiositystream.com/reneritchie/

M1 vs M2 Apple Silicon. Current design vs. maybe new design? LCD and Mini-LED vs. All Mini-LED and maybe OLED? Thunderbolt charging vs. maybe MagSafe? Same price… probably… but schedule… uncertainty? And just so much fanfic. So much. If you want an iPad Pro but you’re wondering if you should buy the M1 now or wait for the M2 coming at some point next, I got you.

Could Apple end both Lightning and USB-C?

🔥 SURPRISE SALE! CuriosityStream + Nebula for less than $12 a YEAR! https://curiositystream.com/reneritchie/

$1000 and the iPhone 13 Pro is still stuck at USB2 speeds. Never mind the $1100 iPhone 13 Pro Max. Why? Because, *Lightning*, and — wait for it — Lightning has pretty much been stuck at USB2’s half a gigabit per second, since… 2012. That, in spite of Apple adding 10-bit ProRes HDR video recording back in September. With hardware acceleration fast enough to encode 6GB a minute — a minute! — and a new storage system fast enough to save it, but no… no as in nothing approaching… a new I/O system fast enough to transfer it. So, you can now record the highest quality video of any phone on the planet, you just can’t get it off any faster than the cheapest phone on the block. 

So, what do you do? I mean, besides hitting the button and cursing in the comments, obviously. Well, if you’re Apple… If you’re Apple, maybe you kill the now 10 year old Lightning connector. Summary de-resolution it just to get it off the grid. And then you replace it… maybe with Lightning 2… Maybe with USB-C or even Thunderbolt… Or maybe, just maybe, something that could take the iPhone and us forward into the next 10 years?
