macOS

macOS is Apple’s operating system for the Mac. It has been around quite a long time, but in its current form it really started in 2001 with Mac OS X 10.1. It’s built on top of a UNIX core, which makes it very stable, versatile, and great for developers. It’s popular with creators too, as a good platform for video editing and photography. More recently, Apple has begun working to bring iOS apps to the Mac, which could change how MacBooks, iMacs, Mac Pros, and Mac Minis work for everybody.

Perhaps you’ve never liked your text messages to pop up and be readable by passersby, or you wished those email notifications would stick around until you acknowledge them. Here’s how to fix that.

Is an upgraded M2 Ultra enough for a new Mac Pro and the Mac Studio?

On the most recent Vergecast episode, we speculated about Apple’s plans for a new Mac Pro and what it might be like when it arrives with one of the company’s M-series chips inside.

However, the latest rumor from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman claims plans for some sort of extreme “double-M2 Ultra” chip have been scrapped (for those counting at home, that’s four M2 Max CPUs working as one) to stick with an upgraded Ultra chip combined with a modular design.

If that’s all there is to it, what does that mean for the future of the already impressive — but not modular and easily upgradeable — Mac Studio?
