AWT News Update: October 31, 2016

We have some ghoulishly good stories for you today on the Apple World Today News Update (and a few pictures of Mac Performas, which were some of the ugliest Macs ever!):

  • We tell you about the design decision that resulted in the new MacBook Pros having a maximum of 16GB of RAM and leaving half of the Thunderbolt 3 ports on the 13-inch model with limited bandwidth
  • There’s something else missing from the new MacBook Pro that has been in every Mac since the first one back in 1984…
  • Twitter’s testing a new feature in the iOS app that might make it easier to read linked webpages

iTunes 12.5.3 is at the Mac App Store and is also available via Apple’s website. The update is compatible with Mac OS X El Capitan and macOS Sierra.
