Apple M4 Pro and M4 Max chips

Alongside the latest MacBook Pro, the M4 Pro and M4 Max chips have been unveiled. Additionally, the M4 Max is equipped with a media engine which includes two video encoding engines and two ProRes accelerators. The M4 Pro and M4 Max chips both support Apple Intelligence on macOS Sequoia. So, while I am doing this review, I have wholeheartedly committed to switching to the iPhone 17 Pro Max so I can make a much better judgement -- whether I will miss something from the Android ecosystem or I actually find a very useful feature only the iPhone has to offer. Design and Construction The iPhone 17 Pro Max takes it design roots all the way back from the iPhone 12 Pro Max (in 2020) with a slightly noticeable refinements with the iPhone 15 Pro Max (in 2023) that included the shift to titanium body and contoured edges. Add to that the fact that an anodized aluminum allows for wider color options like the Cosmic Orange colorway we now have on the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. While I like the bigger screen (6.9" Super Retina display) of the iPhone 17 Pro Max, the Pro variant is more comfortable to use with one hand. It's a little cumbersome to do one-handed typing on the 17 Pro Max, more so if you add a case with it.
