The primary subject is about information from Monday, August 12. Patreon, the corporate that gives a membership platform for on-line content material creators, introduced that Apple is forcing them to modify the Patreon iOS app to Apple’s fee system. Which means Apple goes to take their 30 % lower off of Patreon memberships paid for by means of the app. Patreon is advising creators to both increase its charges to accommodate Apple’s lower, or to inform new subscribers to not use the iOS app.
Christopher Lawley (@chrislawley_), who does the Consolation Zone podcast for MacStories, had some ideas. He stated:
This has been one of many hardest occasions to be an unbiased creator. AD income is in the bathroom, everybody and their mom has a membership, so good luck making an attempt to begin a brand new one, and platforms need their lower (:cough: YouTubes 45% :cough:). Even I’ve thought-about going and getting an everyday job, and I hate common jobs. How does Apple not see they aren’t taking 30% from Patreon, they’re taking 30% from unbiased creators?? The individuals they declare to like.
Our subsequent subject is concerning the 8GB of RAM in Macs concern. On X, software program developer Hasen Judi posted a screenshot of his M2 MacBook Air with 8GB of reminiscence. He had no apps open besides Exercise Monitor and 4.7GB of that reminiscence was in use–over half the quantity of RAM in his MacBook Air.
Our closing subject of the present is the upcoming M4 Mac lineup. They’re reportedly going to begin rolling out this fall and into the spring of subsequent 12 months. Roman wrote an article that stated that Apple ought to’ve skipped the M4 and never replace the Mac till the M5 is prepared. The principle motive this could occur is as a result of the M4 is now within the iPad Professional, and the Mac ought to have a greater chip than the iPad Professional. Listed here are a few e mail responses despatched to Macworld to the article:
[The] iPad Professional didn’t beg for extra efficiency with a M4, its points don’t contain its lack of efficiency. Apple wants to begin addressing the elephant of iPad OS out rising the spectacular {hardware} the iPad Professional was already able to. However when you have already got spectacular outcomes with the M2 and M3. It’s going to get more durable to upsell a brand new M sequence with each iteration.

On all the things you have been saying concerning the M4 chip I used to be nodding my head saying sure and sure. I’ve the M4 iPad Professional. I’m typing this observe to you proper now. I even have the MacBook Professional M3 Max which I take advantage of on my web site. It’s a beast of a machine however I see no motive to purchase the M4 when it arrives. I’ll purchase the M5 Max for positive. I’m positive a lot of individuals really feel this fashion. I do imagine Apple shot themselves within the foot.
