• Should I get an IPad now or should i wait for next year?

  iPads are reaching end of cycle so new ones coming out "soon", maybe early next year, so might be worth to wait a little. The standard place to check schedule and rumors for estimated Apple product release dates is https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/. Source: 5 months ago

• Should I get the iPad Pro or iPad Air?

  Neither. Wait a little, product line refreshes are imminent if the rumors can be believed. See https://buyersguide.macrumors.com. Source: 5 months ago

• PC shipments decline slows in Q3 2023, but Apple plunges over 23%

  It's funny, the Studio Display runs on an A13 processor (iPhone 11 equivalent) and could basically be a computer if they wanted it to be. But no, if you want an all-in-one you get a 24" iMac that hasn't been updated in nearly 3 years. Longest update cycle since at least 2014 and it's not close https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#iMac. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Do you think that Apple Vision glasses (pro and normal) will also have an annual renewal cycle like the rest of Apple's products? In other words, the Vision Pro 2 would be released in 2025.

  Https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/ has all the stats on Apple's current product lineup: when the last refresh was, what the average time between refreshes is, the last several refreshes. Several products have much longer than 365 day averages. Some of the iPad models do have refresh averages somewhat over 365 days, but not by very much in my opinion. Source: 11 months ago

• College student buying his first apple devices makeover

  You only need either the laptop or the iPad for notes, you do not need both. Find out what software you're going to be using for the EE program and if it will even run on a Mac. The iPhone does not matter one bit for your school. It will not use an M3. You do not need to wait for the M3 for anything. Use the Macrumors buyers guide to figure out when things are going to come out: https://buyersguide.macrumors.com... Source: about 1 year ago

• Alibaba breaks itself up in six

  There is a reason why https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/ exists. Ive seen plenty of people buy a current Mac just for Apple to relesase something new 2 weeks later. Also, for phones atleast, Samsung Galaxy has been pretty consistent in quality. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Just got a new 16" M2 Max / 32 GB RAM / 1 TB SSD. This is what it looks like.

  Because you either need a computer or you don't. If you can wait, then you don't need one now, if you can't, just buy what's available to you and your budget. But I can find some logic to this argument because "what if M3 comes in a month or so?" and that's why MacRumor's Buyers Guide comes in handy, it will tell you when a line of Macs is about to be updated, and if you should wait.

  The W6800X Duo was released in the Mac Pro update in December 2019 [1] and is long overdue for a refresh. If anything it's impressive a card from 2019 is still competitive with top tier cards released in late 2022. [1] https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#Mac_Pro. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
