Apple today shared two new "Technical Overview" white papers that take an extensive look into the technology and feature set of the Pro Display XDR and the Mac Pro.
Available as PDFs, the Mac Pro overview and the Pro Display XDR overview (via 9to5Mac) walk through key features and components, with ultra detailed rundowns on every component. The Mac Pro overview highlights the lattice case, Intel Xeon W chip, GPUs, PCIe expansion slots, MPX module, I/O, T2 chip, SSD, and more.
Apple explains the reason for design choices made for the Mac Pro, does a deep dive into performance, and lists technical specifications. Much of this information has previously been shared in product pages and marketing info provided by Apple, but this is the single most comprehensive source for Mac Pro info.
The Pro Display XDR white paper is similar, detailing display panel components, LED backlighting system, timing controller, display accuracy, reference modes, enclosure design mounting, and technical specifications.
This information has also been previously shared by Apple for the most part, but again, the white paper is a useful place to see it all in one place.
These are useful resources for those who are interested in learning more about the Mac Pro and the Pro Display XDR ahead of purchase, and can be found through these PDF links: Pro Display XDR and Mac Pro.
Following nearly two years of rumors about a fourth-generation iPhone SE, The Information today reported that Apple suppliers are finally planning to begin ramping up mass production of the device in October of this year. If accurate, that timeframe would mean that the next iPhone SE would not be announced alongside the iPhone 16 series in September, as expected. Instead, the report...
Key details about the overall specifications of the iPhone 17 lineup have been shared by the leaker known as "Ice Universe," clarifying several important aspects of next year's devices.

Apple typically releases its new iPhone series around mid-September, which means we are about two months out from the launch of the iPhone 16. Like the iPhone 15 series, this year's lineup is expected to stick with four models – iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max – although there are plenty of design differences and new features to take into account. To bring ...

why invest $6500 Plus in this when as early as 2021 APPLE will be switching processors from Intel to it's own chip? Thats called BATE and SWITCH marketing tactics I'm staying with Intel. No way am I investing in all new software Good LUCK Apple Windows 10 here I come.
It might make more sense to run your Windows software on a PC. Depending on your choice of hardware, you could probably save some money. It’s been that way for decades.
But if your concern is the availability of software for Intel-based Macs, your concern is not well founded. There are well over 100 million Intel-based Macs. No developer is going to turn their back on that market.
Software availability would be a much more valid concern if you were planning to buy a Mac running an Apple ARM processor.
Radeon Pro W5700X mentioned throughout. Pricing hasn't been released and isn't even available to purchase yet... even though it's the recommended config for Sci/Tech and Developers on Page 38.
Then go to the end with note: 7. Some options may have delayed availability. See the Apple online store for current availability.
