Nano-texture upgrade option is coming for the whole line of products.

Edit: the thing I'm confused about is it seems there are at least two but maybe three different things that they are calling "nano-texture". On buying screens, the Studio Display and iPad Mini say "Nano-texture glass" and the new MacBook Pro says "Nano-texture display." But the Duo marketing says "Nano-texture finish."

I get that the internal Duo screen has the film over it and so it says "finish," but is there a difference between "glass" and "display"?

commandersaki•28m ago

You mean even for the air?

rickdeckard•15m ago

"Nano-texture glass" and "Nano-texture display" should refer to the same: A microscopic etching into the display glass.

"Nano-texture finish" on iPhone Duo refers to an additional layer they put on top of the display panel. It's basically a sticker with a similar (same?) surface structure (they can't put it on the display glass itself because it's too thin)

floydnoel•13m ago

I could be wrong, but I think glass=hard, while finish=soft. The inside Duo screen is not hard like the outer glass.

elicash•10m ago

I get glass vs finish. But there's a third term being used for the new M6 MacBook Pro, which is nano-texture "display." Someone clarified that it's the same as the "glass" so I take this to just be Day 1 marketing confusion that'll hopefully get cleaned up on the buying screen.

codeduck•11m ago

It's preparation for the inevitable nano-texture cloth you need to buy from Apple to wipe the screen with.

resters•11m ago

Maybe Apple is shifting the terminology from display to glass as an homage to fine watch terminology.

Wasn't this rumored to have OLED or am I confusing it with something else?

elicash•42m ago

Touch OLED laptops expected at tomorrow's event.

Any possibility that these will also support the Apple Pencil?

Looking forward to the Apple Pink Pencil Cap Eraser

I believe Apple is expected to announce MacBook Pro 16” with OLED on Nov 6th (macrumors.com)

weird-eye-issue•44m ago

After using a 16" laptop it would be hard for me to go back

DetroitThrow•39m ago

I ended up doing the opposite! After being on the go with 15, 16, and 17 inch laptops I've finally moved to smaller 13 and 14 inch screens.

It's much, much easier to transport even though I do miss the screen real estate.

technothrasher•37m ago

I travel a lot with my 13" MacBook Air and can't imagine wanting to deal with anything bigger and heavier.

eknkc•31m ago

Yeah 14" pro is the best thing I have ever moved around with. I have a studio display at my desk though.

kphorn•34m ago

The good news is bigger laptops coming tomorrow in the phased release.

carlgreene•31m ago

I feel like I am about to go the opposite way lol. Love the 16" screen...hate lugging it around

Nice, but in the long term, Apple is going to need to bring memory in-house.

eastbound•35m ago

Apple has moved from a "Big day out" of marketing per year, where all product lineups would be announced, with novelty and conferences, to rolling releases along the year.

Do they get the same marketing impact?

hurfdurf•19m ago

Apple has had release-weeks in spring and fall, with some variance, for a while now:

Man every time I want to get a new macbook air they come up with a new macbook pro which means 6 months later they're going to come up with a new generation of airs by which time I think "let me wait a bit and see if people like it", and so here I am with a 2022 M2 that is perfectly fine except for the disk being too small.

rickdeckard•19m ago

The unbearable burden of consumerism.

"You didn't even finish your M2 yet and already want to refill your plate?"

telesilla•9m ago

I'm still on my early 2022 macbook 14" M1, which I was thoughtful enough to get 64gb ram for at the time, and remain still incredibly happy. M6 must be nuts!

alberth•27m ago

I thought Apple "Pro & Tell" day is tomorrow.

Makes me now wonder what's in store for tomorrow's pro launch.

mastry•13m ago

Touchscreens, supposedly.

gniv•26m ago

And it's still $1999. That's impressive. I paid the same for the M1 Pro in 2021.

culopatin•22m ago

And it’s still working amazing. Other than trying to run an agent locally I haven’t ran into any limiting bottlenecks

mono442•16m ago

They have huge margins and can absorb price increases of some of the components.

petetnt•25m ago

It seems that you can only get 32GBs of RAM maximum for the new 14" M6 Macbooks? M5 still has 64GB options available. edit: the larger configurations are only available for the Pro and Max chips apparently.

cmdrmac•23m ago

I think the M5 Pro can be configured with the 64 gb option, not the regular m5 chip.

weystrom•25m ago

Great hardware, but I can't stand MacOS anymore after switching to Linux on home dekstop. KDE is such a breath of fresh air after years of dealing with Apple's idiosyncrasies.

I think I'll keep my Framework 13 Pro preorder.

timpera•23m ago

Bring back Boot Camp and let us install Windows 11 on these, you cowards!

SomeonesAccount•17m ago

Why the heck would one want to do that???

TheDong•12m ago

I purchase the hardware, I should be able to do what I want with it. I want apple hardware for the good processor specs and battery life and general hardware quality.

Apple should be forced to release the necessary hardware specs to develop drivers so that I can use my hardware I purchased as I want. They should be required to let me own my own signing keys to boot my own software.

Anyway, I'd personally want bootcamp because it's a step closer to being able to install Linux, an operating system that lets me have a good tiling window manager that works.

Why the heck would anyone want to use macOS willingly, where the window manager and file browser are both complete unconfigurable trash.

mococa•11m ago

Do you want AIshitification on your mac?

timpera•7m ago

No, I just want to be able to boot into Windows 11. It worked really well on Intel macs.

carruler•20m ago

Don't think it's worth moving from previous max products yet to be honest. My M3 MAX still does a hell of a job whenever I need it.

cmenge•6m ago

Agree. I'm still on my M1 Max w/ 32g, and I can't really find a reason to upgrade.

Havoc•16m ago

Interesting choice of pic...a guy with a military camo hat, laptop propped up on a hardshell field deployment case...but in a crop field. That's quite a departure from Appe's usual creatives sipping soy lattes vibe

rubyfan•12m ago

It looks more like students to me.

kotaKat•10m ago

The alt-text was "Two people perform fieldwork using MacBook Pro outdoors on a sunny day", apparently.

paxy•4m ago

Lmao so some human/AI was told to show "fieldwork" and decided it meant people standing in the middle of a field.

lp92•8m ago

They are just trying to portray "working in the field" creative types/students and alluding to all day battery life.

browningstreet•13m ago

I got the 14” M5 with 24GB RAM and love it. Better screen than an Air; more portable than the Pro. Great middle machine.
