Sweet. How did you guys pay when purchasing from online Apple store and shipping to skybox? Local credit card? Gift card?

It's possible the new A14 based chips could be as fast if not faster with lower battery life and power consumption.

But compatibility issues, VM support and bugs worry me. Tempting still.

I figure it would take some time for the teething issues to settle.
Safe with the intel for now.

Apple's transition to its own processors: What to expect
By Jason Cross
Staff Writer, Macworld | JUN 13, 2020 10:00 AM PDT
https://www.macworld.com/article/3561765/apple-transition-to-its-own-processors.html

...
What the transition means for macOS and apps

When Apple transitioned from the 68000 architecture to PowerPC, it didn’t drastically change the operating system. PowerPC support came in System 7.1, and support for the 68000 series of Macs ended with System 8.5. By the time Apple transitioned to Mac OS X in 2012, the company hadn’t sold 68000-based Macs for years.

The same thing happened with the transition from PowerPC to Intel processors. The first products shipped in 2006, running the same Mac OS X version 10.4 (Tiger), and Apple sold both PowerPC and Intel-based Macs as it made the transition. Support for PowerPC was dropped in Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) a few years later.

During the announcement of the switch to Intel Macs, Steve Jobs said that OS X had been living a “secret double life” inside Apple. The last several versions, and all of Apple’s applications, had been made for Intel in addition to the PowerPC version. It wouldn’t be a surprise to hear Tim Cook announce the same thing, maybe even in the same way.

To hep ease the transition, Apple used software emulation for applications that were not re-written to support the new architecture. Rosetta was software that let Intel-based Mac owners run many apps written for PowerPC Macs. A Mac 68k emulator allowed PowerPC Macs to run software for 68000-based Macs.

In both cases, software emulation was backward-looking only. Those who bought new Macs with the new processor could run many of the applications made for the old processor, but not the other way around.

The transition to Apple’s own Mac processors should be similar. We probably can’t expect a whole new Mac operating system for a few years—not until the hardware transition is complete. In the meantime, the forthcoming macOS 10.16 will likely ship on Macs with both Intel and Apple processors, and Apple will provide some sort of software translation capability to enable some software for the x86 processors to run on the ARM processors.

Perhaps macOS 10.17 or 10.18 will only support Macs with Apple processors, and eventually, Apple will drop all support for older Macs, including whatever software emulator or translator it provides. All told, the transition will likely be complete by 2023 or 2024.

I'm excited to see how these A14s perform in popular desktop apps.

I'm sure Apple did heavily consider going with new AMD CPUs, which would have been great too. But let's see how their ARM A14s perform.

I suspect even the AMD route is a dead end given the progress of ARM performance compared to x86.

I’m interested to see how app compatibility works out over the next couple years.

ok guys.... guide me ...

so i just got an apple gift card purchased from amazon...

tried to add it to the phone / my i cloud account.

it says card can only be redeemed in the usa store front .

rechecking amazon the fine print says it says card can only be redeemed / used in the USA....an obviously i'm not there.....

what can i do ?

clicking on apple support does the geo location thing and only shows me two available options for my region - contact carrier ( bmobile / digicel ) OR bring in the device for repair ( which isnt the issue as the device doesnt need repair)

was thinking of using a VPN to get around the geo location issue and add the card but i dont have one .

any tuners out there in central have a VPN and willing to assist ?

Your Apple ID is registered as a T&T account apparently.
Not much you can do, unless you switch the store to US but it may affect the apps your bought in the T&T store

I'm waiting for the exemption of taxes on mobile phones to happen. Supposed to be December. But with the usual and expected Christmas rush for online purchases (which will be worst due to covid), I expect I'd have to wait till January, 2021.

I’m waiting on this as well but couldn’t recall the proposed details. Is it only to be for the month of December 2020 or the new norm moving forward?

Most likely for December alone so ollour could get fancy phone in time for Christmas and post up on the IG/FB and caption it "Your government working for you."

At worse is a 3 months also, like the laptop.
Doubt that would ever become the new norm.

Is customs giving them a Bligh ? That seems cheap
