Dropbox launches long-awaited macOS version with native M1 support in beta

Dropbox was broadly criticized by Mac clients last year as the organization was at this point to update its macOS application with native support for the Apple Silicon platform. Fortunately, the organization has at last released an update for the application that brings full help for the M1 chip.

As indicated by a Dropbox client, the most recent beta rendition of the Dropbox application for macOS runs locally on the Apple Silicon stage. When you download the new installer, it accompanies the identifier “arm64,” which implies that it is viable with the ARM architecture of the M1, M1 Pro, and M1 Max chips.

At long last!! Just attempted it with my MacBook Pro 16″ M1 Pro and can affirm that Dropbox presently runs as Apple Silicon version.

Though no one can really say why, Dropbox took over a year to affirm that it was chipping away at a version of its app viable with the M1 chip. Be that as it may, the organization never said when this version would be released to clients, who actually need to run the app through Rosetta – which translates Intel apps to ARM, yet with some performance loss.

Having an application running natively on Apple Silicon implies that it can take full advantage of the M1 chip and its variants. Thus, the product runs faster and furthermore consumes less power, which is extraordinary for MacBook clients when using their laptop unplugged.

Albeit the main version of Dropbox for Mac is yet to be updated with Apple Silicon support, clients can now download Dropbox Beta (form 140.3.1903) viable with M1.

It’s as yet not completely clear what created the entirety of this confusion, however the carriers do say they’re not blocking iCloud Private Relay (with the exception of some T-Mobile plans that incorporate content filtering services), so it’s worth double-checking your cellular settings to ensure everything’s the manner in which it ought to be. When the public version of iOS 15.3 is out, the language in settings won’t outright let you know that your cell plan doesn’t support the feature.

AirPods Pro 2 might accompany lossless audio support and a charging case that makes sound

 

The second-generation AirPods Pro might support Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC), and could even accompany a case that makes a sound to assist you with tracking down it as indicated by Apple investigator Ming-Chi Kuo in a note to investors seen by AppleInsider and 9to5Mac.

There at present isn’t an AirPods model that supports lossless audio, a type of file compression that preserves every one of the information in the original audio file, bringing about higher quality sound. Each AirPods model — even the expensive AirPods Max — uses Bluetooth to deliver audio, which restricts the gadgets to using Advanced Audio Codec (AAC), a lossy type of audio compression. So far, the only Apple gadgets that can take advantage of lossless audio on Apple Music (and somewhere else) incorporate the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV 4K, and Apple HomePod. The main drawback to lossless audio is that its files occupy more extra space on your gadget, and streaming it online can rapidly gobble up mobile information.

Assuming the AirPods Pro 2 support ALAC, Apple will either need to ditch Bluetooth or hop over some of the technology’s obstacles to achieve that. The impediments of Bluetooth were raised in What Hi-Fi’s new interview with Gary Geaves, the VP of acoustics at Apple. During the interview, Geaves said the organization should endeavor to benefit from Bluetooth technology, and furthermore noticed that “there’s a number of tricks we can play to maximize or get around some of the limits of Bluetooth,” but “more bandwidth” would be ideal — an expected hint of what’s to come.

With respect to the chance of a charging case that emits sound, this might assist you with tracking down your case assuming it’s consistently separated from your AirPods — at the present time, just the AirPods themselves make a noise when you attempt to find them through the Find My app. Likewise noted, Kuo predicts that the AirPods Pro 2 could don an upgrade and may have a focus on fitness, something recently reputed by Bloomberg. Also, Kuo says that Apple might release the AirPods Pro 2 in the final quarter of 2022, around three years later the release of the first AirPods Pro.
