An arbitrary limit of 32G of memory? Laughable. Glad I exited the Apple ecosystem long ago. Only have 2-3 year old machines now. Current phone is “free” from carrier due to trade ins.
I think Apple should shift away from personal computing (iMac, MBP/A, iPhone) and focus on selling their SoC. Get these into data centers.
Powering a data center with their chips would likely result in significant decrease in power consumption. I am running an “old” M1 as a small remote k8s cluster for personal dev work and home automation. Works wonderfully.
Power consumption during peak load (20 W?) is very low compared to my Intel based computer (120-150W?) I use for occasional gaming.

This is a great idea. Apple discontinued servers a long time ago, and it's too bad, now that they've got the new silicon they could be crushing it in the sector.
- shrubble 2y agoApple has very little understanding of Enterprise and Datacenter markets. They proved that with the Xserve, despite having some success - they should have "owned" the market by driving down the costs of running, managing and maintaining hardware over the long term - but didn't, or got bored about it, and missed the opportunity.
