I’m all in with Apple products and ecosystem for the very reasons cited in court cases against the company. While not perfect, the integration between devices, cloud and services “just works.” Hopefully the courts will recognize that competitors are trying to break a business model that works well for many, many people.

I’m still using an XS Max with original battery health at 92%. Performance has been fine although I would like an improved camera. We’ll see if 2025 is the year to update, to either a 16 or 17 Pro Max TBD.

My first thought on watching the WWDC Keynote is that Liquid Glass may be difficult for me with older vision. I’ll immediately check accessibility settings for better contrast with less transparency and motion.

I’m generally not a fan of motion effects in the UI, because they always bring some heating and performance side effects. I’ll favor a fast M5 and larger battery, with a well-designed flat UI. 👍
