In the case of the T2 issues, I actually keep literally hearing it. And normally when I say I’m “hearing” them, I mean people are writing to tell me about it. The T2 security chip continues to wreak havoc with audio performance – and the 2019 MacBook Pro, like all Macs since a 2018 revision, continues to use it and inherit its audio stability issues.Įven after a recent OS update that “addressed” performance, we are still hearing widespread reports that the new Macs exhibit this issue. Security and audio have clashed, it seems, since the T2’s introduction across the Apple computer line in 2018.
It’s therefore safe to assume that they will inherit these same issues, barring a fix from Apple. There is no reported change on the new MacBook Pro to the T2 security chipset that is the cause of these problems. And that’s where the Mac continues to completely unravel. The thing is, while CPU and disk performance do aid audio, we’re far more reliant on stability – CPU horsepower is nice to have, but rock-solid audio performance is essential. These changes are unlikely to inspire PC users, who already had access to these chips. The 13″ MacBook Pro gets a more modest update. Apple even touts the ability to run more instances of plug-ins like Alchemy in Logic Pro, so they do have the music market in mind – at least as far as what they put in the press release. The big news last week was that Apple had a big spec bump on its top-of-range 15″ MacBook Pro – a speedy 6-core entry level, plus for the first time 8-core CPUs in the Apple notebooks. But that machine still includes the troubled T2 security chip used on all Macs from 2018 onward – and there’s no complete fix yet for the audio problems it can cause. The side positioning makes it easier to access the 3.5mm port without having to reach around to the back of the iMac, which is particularly tricky if the iMac is up against a wall.Apple has unveiled new MacBook Pro models. There are numerous practical benefits to moving the headphone jack as well. For this reason, Apple was likely forced to move the headphone jack to the side of the iMac with this redesign. Apple says the new iMac measures in at 11.5mm thick, and as first spotted by Marques Brownlee, this means the iMac is too thin to accommodate a headphone jack on the back.Īs MKBHD explains, the typical headphone jack is 14mm deep, so there is physically just not enough room to accommodate a headphone jack. One of the major design changes with the new iMac is just how thin it is on the side. One of the more subtle changes is that the headphone jack has been relocated from the back of the iMac to the side, and as it turns out, there’s a specific reason for that. The new M1 iMac features an all-new design with seven different colors from which to choose.
