Surprise surprise, a random blogger with “supply chain sources” out of Japan does not know the status of Apple’s 5G modem.

Windows Hello is quite insecure: https://blackwinghq.com/blog/posts/a-touch-of-pwn-part-i/

No, Apple would not love it because it uses way more power. It’s extremely inefficient compared to a regular fan and the battery life would suffer.

M3 has 512GB SSD on the 14" MBP. Only the iMac has 255GB SSD.

Plus the upcoming Qualcomm’s chip may be comparable in power efficiency, they claimed 30% less power use at the same performance as the M2 Max. So M3 would need to be much better in that sense to still have bragging rights next year.

This was a bit misleading by Qualcomm. What they didn’t show was the power draw at peak multi-core compared to Apple Silicon. Why? It appears that the Snapdragon X Elite uses twice the amount of power as the M2 Max in for example Cinebench 2024 at approximately the same performance, making the power draw comparable to the M2 Ultra.
