I hope Apple can pull this off and diversify its manufacturing base without pissing off China, which could easily rug pull Apple and deal them a fatal blow. China has ZERO respect for US & international law and could outright BAN sales of Apple products in the company’s 2nd (I think) largest market.

And if this did come to pass, the first thing I’d do after buying a new Mac with its now “zero-travel ‘solid state’ software keyboard” is go out and buy the biggest, thickest, chunkiest, THOCKIEST keyboard I could possibly find!
I like key travel! And tactile keypress satisfaction!

I’m quite familiar w/the “NEVER think, ‘What Would Steve Do’?” injunction— STILL! —I STRONGLY believe if Steve Jobs were alive & Apple CEO today he’dve waved his magic wand widely—seeing mechanical keyboards as anachronisms—and FORCED all new Mac buyer to use “software keyboards” à la iPhone & iPad.

2/2 FWIW Scuttlebutt fr: weibo, Reddit, message boards, murky websites suggest, Apple, not being ready in 2025 for TSMC’s SoIC-MH 3D packaging tech, will try to make up for this failing by using DDR5-8533 ≈ 8800 MT/s RAM and 800+ GB/s memory bandwidth for BASE M5, from suppliers SK Hynix and Micron.

I remember using some sort of PDP-[##] computer as a dumb terminal to a VAX 11/780 superminicomputer.
The DEC PDP “smart” minicomputers are said to have inspired the designs of both the Intel x86 and Motorola 68000 CPUs.
So the unique design of a whole computer inspired the design of CPU chips.

I’m just gonna have to see one “in the flesh,” that’s all there is to it.
But for VERY fine graphics/video work, every pixel counts (even on a Retina display), and I can’t afford ANY graininess — at all.
Guess I’ll just have to suffer with some extra reflectiveness!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I can’t help but notice, Google sounds very “Scooby-Doo-ish” in this response…
I wonder if the Feds would allow Chrome to exist as an autonomous franchise under “Alphabet.” 🤔
Like Meta…sorta…

To anyone who has firsthand experience with Apple nanotexture: does it create a graininess to the display/image? I’ve seen plenty of anti-reflective screen covers and they all totally RUINED the “Retina display” experience.
