    What apps out of interest? I’m a new Mac owner, so limited experience, but everything seems insanely quick so far. Even something like Xcode is a one-bounce on this M4 Air.

      All of them. The device has to phone home to apple to ask permission to run them.

      to test close app (really shut, make sure dot on icon isnt glowing) then open and measure time

      close app and then disconnect from the internet and launch again

      the speed difference depends on how overloaded apples servers are.

        I’ve not come across this but I’ll check it out. Is that App Store apps only?

        I think probably 90% of the apps I’ve installed have been through the homebrew package manager which likely means they don’t do any phoning home, but I’ll check out the pre-installed stuff and see if I can replicate.
