iCaveAnswers, Do you think Apple will include a dedicated GPU in the MacBook Pro 16? The 15/16 inch always got a better graphics performance compared to the 13-inch version.

1.do You think there is a probable desktop mac platform with NO USB-A ports AT ALL ? (excluding laptops, since that’s we’ve seen already)
2. do You think an all-touchscreen keyboard for mac desktop as an option is possible in the future?
3. do You think rise of ARM platform in macs will accelerate cross-platform malware / trojans development?

@iCave – David Eden-Sangwell #iCaveAnswers Do You think imac m1x display panel will be just a nerfed pro xdr display with mini-LED to simplify their tooling/inventory or some more exotic solution?

René Pouliot
#question do you ever see Apple selling its M1 chips to other PC companies? I can’t see it short term but the potential of Apple ARM chips seems so great. What happens when Apple leaves the competition in the dust
