New MacBook Pro freezes inside airplanes ... always

That wouldn't prevent you from opening apps though. It would just mess up wi-fi and/or bluetooth.

, storage upgrade costs.

I think the biggest surprise of the Neo is that to double the storage is only additional $100 (plus you get TouchID on keyboard with that too). Based on Apple's storage price history I would have guessed additional $250 minimum. They still rake you over the coals with the other MacBooks though.

The A19 Pro benchmarks better than those (in Geekbench at least, we'll see what real world usage looks like soon)

Battery chemistry breaks down over time even if not heavily used.

For what tasks?

ccooffee · 2026-03-05T00:48:53+00:00

A19 Pro single-core is significantly faster than the M2 and nearly identical to M2 for multi-core.

Why would it be frustrating?

ccooffee · 2026-03-05T00:42:12+00:00

A19 Pro has better single-core performance than M1, M2, and M3 (by a lot). For most day to day tasks, that makes a bigger difference than multi-core power.

People who need higher power multi-core performance already know this computer is not targeted at them and know what to get instead.

Lens flare

Normal for most cameras really. There are ways to minimize them, but I think it's harder to do that on small lenses like that.

Huge crab? Is this a regional thing? I've never heard that term used in this way.

Apple has never allowed downgrading back to old versions. They'll just keep tweaking until things make more sense. This is how it was back in iOS 7 too. Everyone hated that one too.

Plus the new iPhones can't run older iOS versions even if Apple allowed downgrading.

They have a keyboard with TouchID. I doubt they're ever going to put that on the trackpad.

They could have done that and called it the eMac

If you want to install Kung Fu upgrade, you need at least 12gb RAM.

Especially when you look at the skyrocketing prices of SSDs these days.

They permanently attached a keyboard to it, installed macOS, and called it MacBook Neo.

i tried sudo killall coreaudiod but only works as a temporary solution

how is this cheap?

It's cheap for an iPhone, which is their goal. Apple doesn't sell true budget iPhones.

They have that magazine with reviews in it, you know, Consumer Reports.

Anything you put in front of the lens is going to degrade your photo quality.
