Tidbits you might have missed about Apple's big September announcements
The jump to 7 nm was predicted because TSMC was able to fab it now. The Mac is still stuck using 14 nm intel chips. Oh well, I don't want them to release faster MacBook Pros any time soon since I just got a 13 inch i7 and paid through the nose for it! (Though my new iPhone will probably be able to match it once I get it!) -

New report backs claims 2018 iPhones will support Apple Pencil
I expect they’d do a shorter Apple Pencil to match the height of the iPhone and then put out a case for it that let you slide in and either provided extra battery life or did something else to justify the extra thickness. (Or they’d just have a hump on one side.)
either way this would totally get me to move from my SE to an XS+ -
Apple held secret meeting with developers in 2017 to push app subscriptions
I wish Apple would just allow bloody upgrade pricing! I’m more than happy to pay for a new version of an app if a new version is out. But The whole subscription model thing assumes that I use all my apps every month, which I don’t!
subscriptions work for music services because there’s always new content available. Subscriptions work for video because we rarely want to watch things over and over.
I dont need my word word processor or graphics app to be a subscription service because I might go months without using either one, then I might use it every day for a few months. I would rather just buy it and use it until it isn’t compatible with my device/OS.
