I wish they would have open sourced it if they weren't going to keep making it. Aperture was amazing and defined a category Adobe had originally neglected. I wish so badly they would open source.

You mention the XPS has double the SSD storage - but you didn’t give any information about their relative performances.  Not all SSDs are created equal.  Personal example: started a new job last year and they gave me a super powerful Lenovo Windows desktop w. 64gb RAM and a 1TB SSD.  A complete build of our application  - very IO intensive activity -  took 15 seconds.  Very fast compared to my colleague’s hard disk based times (30+ seconds).   When I needed to replace it with a laptop, I got a 2017 15” MBP with 16gb RAM and a 512gb SSD.   It builds the same application in 7 seconds flat.  Because the SSDs in Macs are the fastest on the planet.

The XPS SSD was actually just as fast, so we didn't add it into the vid.

MacBook Pro ssd is way faster then the dell according to laptop magazine. https://www.macrumors.com/2018/07/13/2018-macbook-pro-fastest-laptop-ssd-ever

I really hope they improve Siri. I love Apple but Siri is now the worst product they make. Like why does it give me a visual response to an auditory question. If I'm asking an auditory question in the car it's because I can't look at a visual response. It's sad when even Cortana is better then Siri. I'm hoping the HomePod will change all of this and make Siri what it can be.

I'd love to know about the tech behind this port. What is it capable of? Can the new accessories have ports on them? How fast is the data possibilities? It'd be awesome if you did an article on the tech of the Smart Connector. Thanks

Even though sog35 comments are inflammatory I do think there is some truth to it. Tim's skill is logistics, and he is amazing at logistics, but usually what makes you good at logistics makes you not that good as a CEO. To be great logistically you have to have a healthy fear of risk. And your entire job is to mitigate that risk. But as CEO especially of a culture like apple it requires crossing the rubicon, burning the bridges kinda risk. And you do see that he has been tepid about all sorts of things. Like why he hasn't killed off certain products. Like why do they sell 6 different versions of the ipad (I'm not talking about customization like hard drive space but different versions). It's super confusing to the customer he could just simplify it small, medium, large. There are other examples were he should just risk it but seems to fear it to much.
