"Right. A pc with a 3090 will kill this and still be cheaper. Meh
monospaced"
•͡˘㇁•͡˘
Cost of just ONE nVidia 3090 card (if you find it): 2800 - 4500 euros
Cost of high spec 64GB/1TB Mac Studio with M1 Ultra: 3620 euros (3999 usd)
- 1900-ish in the US. You can get a complete computer for less than $3k.formed
- ~£1600 in the UKkingsteven
- can't believe i'm witnessing someone arguing for apple with monospacedkingsteven
- not arguing, just curios how those rategrafician
- and I remember doing this with Mac Pros and Dell workstations for same specs and Dell cost even 20-30% highergrafician
- @kingsteven do you have some links? I see prices £2400 - £4400 on Amazon.co.uk
https://imgur.com/a/…grafician - ^so that's over 5000 euros
Where exactly have you found 3090s for "~£1600 in the UK"grafician - pretty sure both formed and kingsteven you're talking about the 3080 version of nvidia cards, which indeed go for under 2K euros/pounds/dollarsgrafician
- I can pick up a 3090 at the store for $2k anytime. Sorry, troll.monospaced
- you're looking at scalpers on amazon. they're hard to find because of the chip shortages but when stock drops at stores they start around 1.6kkingsteven
- NO, the 3090! It's all over Google Shopping, not hard to find.formed
- Still reasonably hard to find the good brand cheaper models actually in stock in the UK + EU but they drop regularlykingsteven
- Again, have no clue where you guys are looking, but again, all the prices I've posted are real current prices. That card really cost that much if you find it...grafician
- Yep, checked on Google shopping just now, yep same prices, 2500-4000 euros.grafician
- Cheapest I could find was around 2200 euros but it was refurbished.grafician
- @monospaced a PC with the same specs and an nVidia 3090 is at least 3500-4500 euros, so you're either dumb or ignorant, pick yourselfgrafician
- So yes, it COULD be faster depending on the specs, but won't be cheaper not to mention power consumption and noise cuz you don't want a plane on your deskgrafician
- that's not true heremonospaced
- Literally proved you were wrong on the "cheaper" perspective
Specs for specs, PCs are not cheaper!grafician - Even more, for a PC to be on par, would cost 1.5-2x more!
32GB Dell workstations are $4-5K ffsake!grafician - not really, thoughmonospaced

bro I think all we designers and creatives out here don't realise how little regular folk and even other designers and creatives know about Apple and Apple devices or even care
percent of "regular folk and even other designers and creatives" knowing who CEO is running Apple now: 0.2
percent of "regular folk and even other designers and creatives" watching Apple keynotes: 0.2
percent of "regular folk and even other designers and creatives" knowing you have copy paste between ipad pro and macs or that ipad pros have split screen: 0.1
percent of "regular folk and even other designers and creatives" that know main design apps available on ipads, macs, etc. except Adobe's: 5-11
and so on and so forth
bro I know a lot of "regular folk and even other designers and creatives" that have no clue Apple switched processors from Intel to their own M1 cpus!
Practically we're the very very elite knowing a lot of stuff about this company and their devices
the rest, don't know and don't care
they just get the latest at an affordable price when their old junk is too slow or not working anymore with all the new updates
they are literally going "does it run Adobe Lightroom? Adobe photoshop is faster? how much would it set me back?"
for the past years for Apple "feedback" I only heard stuff like "is that model with the broken keyboard?" or "is that iphone 6 with the battery drain?"
while we out here discussing pixel density for apple screens for ui work and stuff...

- last team I met, of 5, one other designer knew about iMac M1s but all knew/used Figma except one other who was "Figma what?" in 2022 right nowgrafician
- sorry but many regular and many other creatives just don't give af about all these features and speed and stuff we're bickering about around here :))grafician
- From those MBPs with the broken keyboards I only know ONE other designer who got his replaced, the others complained but didn't knew you could change itgrafician
- I know people ordering the latest macbooks just because they look cool and they can watch netflix nonstop without charging and stuff like thatgrafician
- grossly overestimating regular folk's relationship with Apple and their devices :))grafician
- then again I have no clue about the latest coffee machines (like my barista) or the latest in tractor tech and growing food (like the farmers in my family)grafician
- You what, mate?NBQ00
- just sayin there's levels NBQ!grafician
- Where did you get these percentages from?monospaced
- I don’t think even 0.2 of creatives care about what other people know about Apple, right? Is there an issue?monospaced
- shut up mono you know shit about apple cuz you own apple stock :))grafician
- Excuse me? That is irrelevant untrue and avoiding the question, not to mention it doesn’t even make sense what you wrote.monospaced
- You wrote a dozen paragraphs about how people aren’t Apple fuckboi like you and I asked what the actual issue is.monospaced
- I have been using macs longer than you can imagine and I know as much as I would ever need to know about their tech, which is as much as you or anyonemonospaced
- Not that it matters. I’m not the one who thinks their knowledge on apple tech is something to boast about. That’s you. Weird flex.monospaced
- And yes. I own apple stock. A ton of it. Got a problem?monospaced

Apple to rebrand all it’s refurbished and b-grade products as ‘Banana’ in a new marketing ploy.

Bwah ha ha. No.
Apple vision pro. Nope.
Apple snorkel pro is what we’re all going to call it.

Why don’t they show the person drinking from the can while using the Apple Snorkle Pro?
- can drinkers downvote. I'm saying, that can is going to hit the snorkel and you'll struggle to drink it all.shapesalad

Spare a thought for those that make your iphones and macbooks.

"EXCLUSIVE: Apple is developing generative AI tools and an internal chatbot app called "Apple GPT" that could take on OpenAI and Google"
- Okay who downvoted this!? This is very good news, are you dumb?!grafician
- I did. AI can suck a dickcrazyprick
- You do realise that when Apple gets in the game is usually with a very high quality product that beats everybody else, so running local LLMs uuuh sweetgrafician
- Btw have you tried Apple Maps these past years? It's above Google maps in almost any way today, just sayinggrafician
- Yes, the did fantastic wheels for Mac Pro. Absolutely stunning, cutting edge stuff.crazyprick
- disagree on Apple maps... Apple maps was largely useless in both Taiwan and Japan when I traveled there this year... google maps hands downjonny_quest_lives
- apple maps is utter garbage.hans_glib
- Of course Apple maps sucks ass and grafician is a dirty, stinkin' Apple fanboy.crazyprick
- "Our Best AI GPT" Ever!" - Tim Cookutopian
- He said, you’re an idiot if you downvote this. Because Apple is the BEST. Morons.monospaced
- DOA, just like Siri is now. Their "privacy" bs killed any possibility here, unless they let another company do the dirty work, which I doubt.formed
- Someone always calls it DOA before it’s released and is a huge success. No doubt Apple will use AI as a major Siri updatemonospaced

Went to check out the iPhone 15 Pro & Max at the Apple store. And I'm just still not convinced to switch back. I still like the Samsung S21 FE 5g version better design wise.
What annoys me about iOS also is how slow the UI animations are. In Android I can speed it up to really quick in developer options but Apple doesn't allow such tweaks.
I guess will wait for iPhone 16 and see if it will be more attractive then.
- ripping yarn, my good fellow! positively breathtaking!face_melter
- Old man yelling at cloud.ideaist
- Why would 16 be different? Fan boys lap up anything apple produces. Buy their stock, not their products!formed

- lolNBQ00
- It’s 10% faster and he’s saying that’s a problem. Weird.monospaced
- To me more disappointing is that this "3nm" isn't really that efficient in terms of battery. Still the same battery life or worse + overheating.NBQ00
- That’s because it’s 10% faster using less energy. Do try to keep up.monospaced
- What’s disappointing is an equally powerful PC uses 5-20X the energy to do the same. Absolutely pathetic.monospaced
- Yeah because this is arm based and we now got used to the magic. And maybe got sucked into the 3nm hype saying 30% battery usage reductionNBQ00

Apple Pay will offer "buy now pay later" card maybe soon enough...
- They’ve had a credit card for awhile.monospaced

This keynote is competently produced. This is what a keynote at a trillion dollar company looks like, huh?

If you have a 16" MBP and it has those annoying "crack pop" noises in the speakers - just disable keyboard lighting. That will miraculously fix it.
No kidding.

When I come into this thread you all remind me of my kids at dinner time.
"These potatoes are gross!!"
"They're just potatoes with butter and some salt, what could possibly be better than that?"
"Yuck"
- Because some people are idiots and say potatoes with butter and salt are gross and actually prefer potatoes with butter and salt from another chef.monospaced
- Even if that other chef is making the same shit, just on a different plate with a much shittier seating area and neighborhood.monospaced

Maybe, just maybe this might be my first iPhone since 2012. Back then I switched to Samsung. If only they could get rid of the notch and put the sensors/ camera under the display like some other manufacturers are experimenting with.
