I used to praise Safari but that is getting harder and harder since on many sites it’s functionality fails.

What is happening at Apple, there are so many strange things coming out of there in recent years. So no 27 inch iMac right now but an expensive Studio Display. There is an iPad with Touch id on the power button but not on iPhones, there is a more adjustable stand on the new Studio Display but not on the new iMac 24 inch. There is an Ethernet option on the new iMac but not on the new Studio Display (so that if you connect a Macbook to it  you would only need one cable for power, bigger display and ethernet connection). There is a SD-card slot on the new Mac Studio but not on the new iMac. The list goes on and on. Are the different teams so separated from each other that it is hard to follow some consistency? Also, how can they make a Studio display that is more expensive than the starter iMac 24 inch (the extra inches can´t be it)?

Jobs would be proud. 

I think he would be disappointed in how Apple lost some of it´s super perfection. And it hurts me as a long time Apple fan and I still am but there are cracks in the facade now. Sadly.

Well, buying the iPhone 13 mini surely was a mistake. The pictures of people look awful with this HDR (both overprocessed and too sharp combined with a smudge) that you can not switch off and all this computational photography is just no good. Also it makes people with bright skin tones look orange/red. I think Apple was not so informative about this change in settings compared to the iPhone 12 mini. Also, all of the ads for the portraits taken with iPhone 13 is just showing dark skinned people. On those pictures the orange/red flaw is not that visible and the models on those pictures are people you never met or seen in real life but the photos of my friends for sure no longer looks like them. Big disappointment Apple.

Look at how imbalanced the 24” is with the menu on the screen almost dropping out of the upper edge compared to the bottom with the chin. I did not bother about the chin on previous models.

External power brick, I think Apple should have pushed themselves harder. To say that they made the new iMac so very thin but just because they put parts elsewhere is not convincing.

Oh, not just a plate - the separate stand will cost a fortune. And by the way, no notch either. I wonder where consumer demand for notches came from…
