This innovative button not only handles the traditional ring and silent functions but also offers a range of customizable actions to transform your iPhone experience. Want to quickly access the camera, flashlight, or Voice Memos? With the Action button, you can do just that and more. Know how here:
Apple Announces M3, M3 Pro & M3 Max, First 3nm SoCs For Macs, Up To 92 Billion Transistors, 16-Core CPU Options, Incredible Efficiency & More
31.10.2023 - 02:31 / wccftech.com / Pro
It is the first time that Apple has announced not one, not two, but a total of three chipsets at its October 30 ‘Scary Fast’ event, with the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max the latest stars of the show. All three have been mass produced on the cutting-edge 3nm architecture, making them the first family of chips to be fabricated on the next-generation manufacturing process. With this improved technology, Apple is not only able to outfit each M3 member with higher CPU and GPU cores but also give them advanced technologies, which we will be talking about in-depth here, so let us get started.
The M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max have varying specification differences, but there are similarities between the three, such as hardware-accelerated ray tracing along with hardware-accelerated mesh shading. One other major change Apple has brought to these chips is that the GPUs have local memory that is dynamically allocated by hardware, and only the exact amount is needed for a particular task. In traditional architectures, the software determines the memory that the GPU needs to allocate. Apple’s M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max also support a variety of codecs such as H.264, HEVC, ProRes and ProRes RAW, and AV1.
Starting with the M3, Apple’s base chip sports 25 billion transistors, with up to 24GB support for unified memory. Apple has limited its latest silicon to an 8-core CPU (four performance and four efficiency cores) like the M1, but the company claims that this configuration is up to 35 percent faster than the M1 and up to 20 percent faster than the M2. The 10-core GPU offers Dynamic Caching and is up to 65 percent faster than the M1 and up to 20 percent faster than the M2.
Coming to the M3 Pro, Apple has increased the transistor count to 37 billion, with support for up to 36GB of unified RAM. The 12-core CPU comprises of six performance and six efficiency cores, with the entire configuration said to be 20 percent faster than the M1 Pro. Like the M3 GPU, the M3 Pro’s 18-core part supports technologies like Dynamic Caching and is up to 40 percent faster than the M1 Pro but only 10 percent faster than the M2 Pro.
Last but certainly not least, we have the M3 Max, which has 97 billion transistors and supports up to 128GB of unified RAM. The 16-core CPU features 12 performance and four efficiency cores, and it delivers some phenomenal gains over the previous-generation chipsets by being 80 percent faster than the M2 Max and a whopping 50 percent faster than the M2 Max. As for the 40-core GPU, it is 50 percent faster than the M1 Max and up to 20 percent faster than the M2 Max.
Apple’s M3 lineup also features a faster and more efficient neural engine, with the technology giant claiming that it is up to 60 percent faster than the M1 family.

App Sideloading on iPhone Will be a “Highly Controlled System” as Apple Prepares to Introduce Changes in The First Half of 2024
With rising pressure from European regulations, Apple might allow users to sideload apps on their iPhones next year. If you are unfamiliar, sideloading refers to downloading apps from outside Apple's stock App Store, giving users more options while compromising security. Prominent industry analyst Mark Gurman claims that Apple could allow app sideloading in the first half of 2024. This is not the first time we have heard details on the matter, as Apple has legally worked to move away from the decision for the past few years.
