My old turbo jet engine loud intel MacBook that made noise at the smallest amount of work imaginable vs the silent more powerful m series laptop that lasted what felt like forever battery wise in comparison was such a nice upgrade.
With everything I do now though my M1 and its 16gb of ram is becoming a little limiting so im going to have to do something about that eventually.
Edit: and its less obvious to others, but them making their own modems now is also a pretty big thing.
Cellular modems… the thing that makes our cell phone a phone.
Also your home internet comes in through a modem, but apple made a cellular one.
It’s incredibly difficult to make a good cellular modem and the landscape is filled with so many patents that will get in your way, with Qualcomm being the dominant player.
