• I’m actually surprised Apple wasn’t doing something like this already. If they don’t have a way to see what people are doing with these systems (AI, photo editing/generation, etc), how do they have any way to improve? They can’t. That’s why Siri is …

• charlesn said: Hope springs eternal for these changes but Apple has long been resistant. There was similar hope for iPad OS 18, especially after the debut of the all-new Pro iPad models, but that hope died at WWDC. We'll see this year. If App…

• I am on an AW 8 because there’s not enough of a change in hardware yet. Plus, with this silly lawsuit over the pulse oximeter, the new watches can’t tell me my blood oxygen levels, so I’d actually lose that ability. I know I’ve read about the abilit…

• My 2017 15” Intel MacBook Pro could do 2 5k, or 4 external 4K monitors, and the newer models (2019 I think) could do 2 6k or 4 4K monitors. Why are the Apple Silicon models a downgrade in that department?

• I myself have been slowing my upgrading. Starting with the iPhone 1, I upgraded every 2 years. Once I got the 6+, I waited 3 years to get the 8+ (skipped the 6s and 7). Then I waited 4 years to get my current 13 Pro. I’m waiting to see what the 17 l…
