  1. #iCaveAnswers as we’re getting closer to the arrival of M1X, with up to date leaks and rumours. Do you have any thoughts on pricing and potential options? Will the 14” MacBook Pro get the option of more GPU cores? What will the base specs be? How much do you think the upgrades will be?

    Yes, I’m absolutely desperate to get my hands on a 14” MBP 😢

  2. Agree completely with your thoughts on the handling of these types of images and content of that nature. It seems as though Apple are handling it in a considered and appropriate way.

    I’m inclined to agree with Jon Prosser though, where should the line be drawn? Should images of drugs be flagged (possibly). As for terrorism, would that be defined by the government of each territory? In the West we’re probably okay, but other parts of the world might have different definitions of “terrorist”.

    I think we all agree that the types of images being discussed in this video and specifically mentioned by Apple are bad, and perpetrators should be flagged.
    What about countries where homosexuality is illegal, is it a possible future outcome that images of consenting adults doing something the government doesn’t approve of get flagged and reported?

    I think with how focused Apple is on customers and their privacy, it’s unlikely to be an issue any time soon.

    Would governments with questionable ethics in the future be able to leverage Apple into flagging images they dictate, rather than just the ones we all agree are bad?

  3. IMO Gurman has transitioned mainly to Not Being Wrong. His “leaks” of things coming at some nebulous time in the future shouldn’t really count for much. Apple is likely to release the Mac Pro as early as tomorrow (even if it doesn’t happen I’m still right). Can I be a leaker too? 🤣

  4. I agree 100% with what you talked about in the first 5 minutes. Doesn’t breach privacy and is making the world a safer place!! I get the concern but if you have explicit child photos or anything of that nature you should probably go to prison.

  5. #iCaveAnswers – What you’ll pick, the included Lightning cable from the 24-inch M1 iMac to be sold separately or would you like for Apple to switch to USB-C with the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max? Tailosive Tech has pointed out the idea for only the Pro models should get USB-C.

  6. #iCaveAnswers – if you think the M1X MacBook Pros are to be unveiled at the iPhone 13 Event in September, do you think it’ll be shipped in October solely due to the press/media coverage will be clashing between the MacBook Pro and the iPhone 13? I am saying this because the iPad Air 4 was unveiled at the September Event, but launched after the iPhone 12 lineup.

  7. Apple, just like Google, Android, Facebook and Twitter, ALREADY have access to our photos! The only difference is one private company has decided to use a program to specifically identify and remove child pornography from its platform. Just like the back door Apple refused the government they are NOT allowed to go in and rumble through your photos here either. Governments are much scarier.
