If you're expecting a Mac mini at WWDC, you're probably going to be disappointed

With regard to the Mini and the iMac refresh cadences, whatever. It’s fine. But if Apple skips the M3 Ultra, they need to explain what they are doing with the silicon. It raises a lot of questions, not all of which are (how shall I put it?) strategic.blastdoor said:I recently bought a refurbished m2pro Mac mini because I gave up on an m3 mini being released. I also would not be surprised if the studio skips m3 too.
It’s not enough to just say it’s all product-driven, and they only build the silicon their products need. Everyone understands why Apple doesn’t talk about unreleased products. But expectations need to be managed.
Marketing and management needs to wake up and realize the architects and engineers need to be allowed to explain more than what is currently being explained.My understanding is that the M3 is based on a dead end as far as process tech goes.Apple's failure to release roadmaps has been a huge problem for years. It's why we're forced to rely on rumors sites like this one for planning purposes.
Oh, please! Why is anyone entitled to Apple's or any company's product roadmaps?! Nothing like tipping your hand to the competition or delaying sales for the person who is always waiting for the next thing or failing to meet a random deadline and pissing off customers. Nothing to be gained at all.

Apple's iPhone recycling is a security nightmare for e-waste partners
"The case wasn't just surprising due to the level of thefts, but observers were apparently amazed that Apple was forcing recycling partners to shred thousands of iPhones that could've easily been refurbished instead."That's a big leap to say that "functioning" devices could have been refurbished without knowing the specifics about each unit.If I send Apple an old iPhone 5 for recycling because there's no trade in value anymore. It "functions". It turns on and seems to work. It's just pretty useless.That unit should and will be recycled. Just because some thief of an employee can turn it on and sell to some unknowing victim, doesn't mean that unit should have been refurbished and resold. I am sure there are many used items that are not worth repairing for many reasons.

Apple Notes in iOS 18 looks to up the ante with Microsoft OneNote
Did not know that. Thanks!.aross99 said:
You can also scan in the files app and save them directly to your iCloud Drive. This makes much more sense if the destination of the scan is NOT going into a note.mike1 said:I really hope they separate the scanning capability from Notes.It really should be part of Camera. Open camera app, select scan, take pic (scan). Ask me what to do with it (like a screenshot does). Message, email, save to Photos or Files, save as Note etc.I often need to send PDF scans of documents. I never need to save them as a note.Using this feature as a part of Notes adds a lot of unnecessary steps and time to the process, including deleting the unnecessary note I just created.

Just like every technology that has come before it.
