👋🏼 Welcome to SwiftlyRush
Apple made an async announcement this week.
It's getting quite unpredictable these days; I remember the days of being able to concretely say what day and time an Apple event or announcement would be made, but not anymore. Things are different.
I genuinely believe we might be in for big changes this year from Apple; why? Well, we often see these rapid and quiet announcements when Apple have too much to announce in one single event, we saw this when SwiftUI was announced, amongst many other things.
So this week, Apple released MacBook Pros with the all-new M2 chips and the power of these machines is getting huge, but so is the cost! 💸
Apple also supercharged the Mac mini 🚀
I won't be changing any of my hardware this year, but I am intrigued to know if you will be.
