The Apple T2 chip, a security-focused custom chip, can keep the enemies 'hiding' on the latest MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. According to the company's safety guide, which was first seen by TechCrunch, the chip will prevent the hacker from hiding through the laptop's microphone.

Apple T2 Safety Guide says that the custom T2 security chip includes 'Hardware Microphone Disconnect' feature which disables the microphone when the device is off.

"This disconnect has been implemented in hardware alone, and therefore with root or kernel privileges in MacOS, and even stops the software on the T2 chip, when adding the microphone when the lid closes, "Apple cited its guide, citing it. However, the technical giant noted that the camera has not been disconnected because "the view area is completely interrupted as the lid closes."


Apple's T2 security chip which separates the MacBook Range function from the main CPU and handles the 'encryption-related' operation in a secure chipset. It includes a secure enclave - a coprocessor built on SOC to provide dedicated security functions. Apple's T2 chip APFS encrypted storage comes with a secure boot process - which protects touchID data - with secure encryption.

While TechCrunch notes that the microphone is closed when the lid closes it will be difficult for hackers to spy on 'inactive device', the report states that existing MacBook models may require software updates to take advantage of the hardware microphone disconnect feature. is.

Early reviews of Apple iPad Pro 11 and iPad Pro 12.9 (2018) have ended, but they are a little reluctant to give the final decision. The tablet (one bigger with 1TB storage) can spend a ton of money and there are many fundamental changes in it.

Here are some initial impressions, but not all. New pencils and keyboards, USB-C ports and new chipsets are almost universally admired, but in some cases the applet's new tablet still gets less than complete.

Engadget tells that USB-C can be a game changer - the stuff used on your Mac (eg a USB microphone can be used in garageband) is no adapter on the tablet anymore. Speaking of accessories, Engadget's review was written on smart keyboard folio.


The Verge is equally excited by USB-C, but highlights a flaw - does not support USB storage outside the iOS box. Plus, the port can only do one thing at a time, so you do not need Bluetooth headphones when you use the speaker. The new pencil's magnetic charging system is great, double-tap gesture is low. Clearly artists

TechCrunch disagrees and says that double tap gesture looks natural. The keyboard proved to be frozen and was "approved for adoption", which is something to consider while looking at the new MacBook Air. Pencils and keyboards have been rated so high that TechCrunch believes that you are not getting the full iPad Pro experience without them.


LaptopMag was not impressed with the 64GB base storage, the touchpad reduction affects the laptop's laptop too. He said that the A12 X bionic chipset is so powerful that core i7-based laptops were performed better in some axes (while slimming and lightening and offering large battery life to boot).

Wired sees the new iPad as a potential but limited replacement for laptops. Multitasking, even on the big screen, is not equal to wired, the keyboard got wobbly to match, the comparison of the other reviewer's impression.


CNET also sees the goods as required, but the software reduces the limitations and having a single port is difficult to swallow the price. Face ID display was described as "Horror Faster"

PocketLint found that iOS 12.1 has a new MacBook replacement. The user experience may vary greatly - eg It is possible to connect external hard drives, but if you have the right app, you can also access the file directory. Multitasking is not available at Mac OS X level

Mashable is impressed with the ability of the face ID to work in any orientation (and the question is why the new iPhone can not do this too), but a possible note notes - depending on the way the tablet is captured Can use the TrueDepth camera with your hand
