The 2018 15" MacBook Pro offers a configure-to-order option with a 6-core Intel Core i9 processor. It's a pricey upgrade from the 6-core i7 that comes standard, and early reports show that Apple's thermal design may not be able to fully leverage the performance increase. Ian Cutress of AnandTech is here to explain the difference between various nodes and how it can be difficult to quantify the result using simple benchmarks.

The new MacBooks Pro are here and I'm super excited about them, especially the new 15-inch model (which I promised to not even jokingly refer to as an iMacBook Pro!) I got to spend a couple of hours talking to real pro photographers, scientists, video editors, music producers, and developers who have been living on these new machines for a week or couple already. I got to see live demos, and hear all about if and how the new hardware had changed or improved their very demanding, very high profile workflows. Here's what I learned!

10 years ago today, Apple launched the App Store, and it's not hyperbole to say, since then, nothing has been the same.

Not for apps, which went from being scarce, niche products to part of popular culture like movies and music. And not for app development, which went from being something only a relatively few people did to something available and accessible to almost everyone.

But, there's been a lot of urban myth and misunderstandings about the origin and goals of the App Store, about how it got from where it was to where it is today, and about where it's going next.

So, let's fix that!

Apple is hitting restart in Maps, starting this week in the California Bay Area. The new Maps will be better detailed, more accurate, more relevant, and eventually more feature rich. At least that's the promise...

The data for the new Apple Maps is being collected in three primary ways:

From high-resolution satellite imaging, from specially outfitted Apple Maps vans that have been driving international roadways for years already, and from the billion odd iPhones that all of us carry every day as we drive, ride, and walk our way through the world.

macOS Mojave has just gone into public beta. This is my preview, where I go over all the new features, how they're holding up, and how they fit into the bigger picture.

There's a new Dark Mode, new dynamic desktop and stacks to keep it neat and tidy, a new Gallery Mode in finder with actions built into it and Quick View. FaceTime Group calls. There's a new Mac App Store and one of the biggest developments in the history of the Mac: UIKit (iOS Apps) on Mac. Yeah. All that and more!

It's all part of a multi-year project intent on taking the decades-old UNIX and NextStep foundations and making them new and relevant again for modern, increasingly mobile and mainstream customers, while not leaving the creatives and pros behind.
