Apple Silicon Macs fail at less than half the rate of Intel Macs, dramatically reducing the platform’s already industry-leading total cost of ownership (TCO), according to data revealed by London, UK-based Apple reseller Hoxton Macs. While it’s true the data is based on a relatively small sample group, it does seem to reflect what the industry in general sees. Apple’s chip design transforms Mac reliability The success of Apple Silicon hardware is attributed to its simpler design, which integrates multiple components into a single chip, reducing the number of potential failure points. Additionally, Apple Silicon Macs run cooler, leading to less wear and tear on components such as batteries and USB-C ports, the report says. Across the wider laptop market, most studies show hardware faults affect one in five non-Apple machines over their first three years in use. This builds on Apple’s enduring record for making good hardware as independent reliability surveys consistently rank the compan
Discover three post-hoc methods for closing the gap between confidence and accuracy.
Apple is being re-rated as an AI winner on the back of “agentic” iPhone and Mac ecosystems rather than frontier models, and the next question is whether on-device agents eventually plug into tokenized payments and assets. Apple’s perceived AI weakness,…
The tech world is rapidly waking up to the security threat posed by future quantum computers, which will be able to break the encryption we now use to protect our internet existences with ease. Against that backdrop, Apple’s decision to share iPhone and Mac post-quantum cryptography code on GitHub speaks volumes. Lost in the fog of reporting over the Memorial Day weekend, this protection implements Apple’s versions of the standardized quantum-secure ML-KEM and ML-DSA algorithms. The newly-published material includes source code for corecrypto, the cryptographic library used by Apple’s Security framework, CryptoKit, and CommonCrypto. The company also published a white paper explaining more, including how it’s been testing its protection. Post-quantum to its core Apple has been working on post-quantum cryptographic protection for years. It first went public with this effort when it introduced iMessage’s PQ3 protocol in iOS 17.4. That protection secures both the conversation and its encr
