This week on the Cult of Mac podcast: Apple just released the first touchscreen Mac in history — and totally soft-pedaled the touchy-feely part!
Instead, the company emphasized the screen quality of the new MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display, including showing how great it works from mountaintops and forests.
Color us shocked! There’s plenty to discuss about this momentous Mac. That screen does look gorgeous. And a lighter laptop is always welcome. But that price … ouch!
Also on the Cult of Mac podcast:
- Apple’s chip-and-ship upgrades to the iMac and the entry-level MacBook Pro come with one big surprise (and it’s not the powerful M6 chip).
- The iPhone Duo‘s Crackgate is real. But is it overblown?
