Episode notes
Low-Key Apple Releases
- Apple released new M2 MacBook Pros and a HomePod via press release, not a formal event.
- This suggests the updates are incremental, not groundbreaking.
M1 Macs Still Viable
- Consider discounted M1 Macs if you don't need HDMI 2.1 or Wi-Fi 6E.
- The older M1 models remain powerful and will receive software updates.
