Chance Miller: 本期播客主要讨论了两个主题:新款 M4 Mac mini 的模块化 SSD 存储和速度提升,以及 iPhone 17 Air 的厚度传闻。关于 M4 Mac mini,其 SSD 存储模块可更换,但过程非常复杂,需要专业工具和技术,这使得大多数用户不太可能自行更换。然而,这种设计对维修行业有利。此外,256GB 配置使用两个 128GB 模块,实现了比上一代更快的读写速度,至少提升了 30% 到 50%。关于 iPhone 17 Air,有传闻称其厚度可能不如苹果最初设想的那样薄,这主要是因为电池技术方面遇到了挑战。苹果最初计划使用一种新型电池,但由于成本、制造一致性和技术妥协等问题,最终不得不放弃该计划。目前预计 iPhone 17 Air 的电池厚度为 6 毫米,但其对手机整体厚度的影响尚不清楚。尽管如此,它仍然有望比目前的 iPhone 16 机型薄得多。最后,播客还提到了 macOS Sequoia 15.2 更新了 AirPlay 功能,允许用户选择共享整个屏幕、特定窗口或应用,或将 Mac 屏幕扩展到 Apple TV,从而增强了隐私保护。

Welcome to ninety five night daily for monday, november 12, twenty four. I'm your host, chance Miller. Leading up today, the latest macs sekou fifteen two beta upgrades the experience of using airplay to share content from your mac to your apple T V.

Now there's a new option to share only a specific window or APP when using airplay. So when you initiate airplay to your apple T, V in macos, a fifteen point two, you'll see a new pop up menu with three different choices. You can share your entire screen, share a specific window or APP, or extend your mac screen to your apple T V.

The change means do not have much more granular control over what shared from your mac to your apple T, V prior to macos fifteen, point to your only options or mira max display entirely, or extend the display now you can choose to only airplay a specific window to Better protect your privacy and prevent accidental showing something you didn't mean to show. Macos zoia a fifteen point two is currently available to developers and public beta testers. The update, which also includes new apple intelligence features like image playground, is set to be released to everyone in december.

Next up today, apple is widely expected the unveils and all new iphone seventeen air as soon as next year. That puts an emphasis on form over function. The new iphone seventeen air has been described as ultra slim, but a new supply in airport this week says that apple had a road block in making the device as then as I had originally hoped.

The supply chain rumor claims at the thinness of the iphone seventeen air largely hinges on the battery. Apple head initially hope to use a new type of battery for the iphone seventeen air with a singer internal substrates. The company, however, has reportedly run into several problems with this plan, including component cost, manufacturing ing consistency and various technical compromises.

The report suggests the iphone seventeen air battery will now be six millimeters thick. There are no details on what this means for the thickness of the iphone itself, nor are there any details on how thin the battery would have been if apple had been successful in its initial plans. The iphone six currently holds the title as apple thinnest iphone ever, measuring in at six point nine millimeters, while the iphone six plus measured seven point one.

For further comparison, the eleven inch in four ipad pro measures five point four millimeters thick, while the thirteen and ipad pro measures five point one millimeters stick. And this apple thinness product ever. Meanwhile, the iphone sixteen measure seven point eight millimeters or the sixteen pro measures eight point to five millimeters.

So even if the iphone seventeen air isn't quite as in as apple first hoped that would be, there is still plenty of room for IT to be noticeably thinner than the current iphone sixteen phones. And of course, this is good context. Remember that there is still plenty of time between now and next fall when the iphone seventeen arrow be announced for apples plans to change for both good and for bad.

According to early tair downs and user reports, the new mac many features or removable S S D. This doesn't necessarily mean that you can buy a new mac money and upgrade the storage after the fact, or at least you can do IT very easily. A tired down posted to youtube showed the process of taking out the storage modules from the new mac mini and attempting to replace them with new modules with more storage, the new modules had to be restarted red to the original modules.

The process that involves using a stint sel to evenly distribute solar paste into each hole on the bottom of each module, then heat IT with flux to ensure proper the process is incredibly tedious, but if you can finish the hardware component of IT, all you have to do is then run a restore in apple configuration or on the mac and complete the process. So because of how tedious this process is, is something that most mac, many users won't want to take on themselves still IT could be good news for reparative and longer gevalia. The new information mini.

It's also the same internal design that apple uses in the max studio. And following the launch of the max studios, some people speculated that apple could sell authorized st storage upgrades at some point down the line, just like IT does for the mac pro, but this ultimately never came to ferient. So apple clearly wants you to buy as much storage as you think you might need during the initial purchase process of a new mac mini.

The cardon video also shows that the two hundred fifty six ago, by configuration of the mac mini, uses two one hundred and twenty eight gig by storage modules instead of one two fifty six module like the m two mac many. This means the inform mac I will offer significantly faster read and right speeds because both modules can Operate in parallel. This addresses one of the biggest complaints about the previous generation mac mini, and that should lead to at least thirty to fifty percent faster read and right speeds for mac.
