Lock screen, Apple Music changes now expected for iOS 17
The change needed on Apple Music is the ability to make a profile of your musical interests and then see that featured on the home page of music instead of whatever flavor of drivel is being pushed.
Otherwise make the home page relevant to your interests. At 61, I have no interest in Beyoncé, Justin Bieber of some K-Pop group.

Thieves are ripping AirPods Max off heads in NYC
Two downstream things since Covid and the Floyd case is a notable drop off in police presence, police intervention and prosecution for many types of crime. This is happening all over the United States and has plainly gotten out of hand in some cities. San Francisco even recalled a DA over his failure to prosecute such crimes.
IMHO wearing over the ear headphones of any kind in NYC is not a very wise thing to do, but citizens should not be expected to tolerate such brazen nonsense. I guess they could buy Samsung stuff and blend in. -

Google's Chromium team working on non-WebKit browser for iOS
I think the option to use third party stuff should be strictly up to the end user, not some bureaucrat or weasel politician.
To be honest, Apple needs a little competition in the iOS and iPad OS space for browsers. There is a lot of differentiation between browsers available on the Macintosh and what is offered on iOS/iPad OS since all are WebKit based.
Here are the latest results of browser security on various operating systems.

14-inch MacBook Pro review: A true spec bump to an existing powerhouse
I think I will keep my M1 Pro 14” MBP which has been an excellent performer so far. It mostly is used as a desktop, parked in a Satechi stand and Thunderbolt hub and hooked up to a nice 32” 4K LG display, Magic Trackpad and Keyboard.
What I would like to see is Face ID at this price point. The display looks big enough to host the Face ID HW. Also would like to see Apple allow a Mac to function as a HomeKit hub.
