iPadOS 26 fixes nearly everything wrong with the platform after everyone already left
Wes writes:“If you’ve never used Screenshot X or Paste, you’re missing out on macOS. Apple’s built-in screenshot tool is fine, but with Screenshot X I can grab a transparent PNG of a window and drop it into an image editor with a background already prepared and export it a second later.”I don’t see a version of Screenshot X for macOS. Does he mean CleanShot X?

New iPhone 17 rumors point to a radically different rear camera layout
Yes, moreover, the flash can be “properly” positioned directly over the sensor whether one desires landscape, portrait, or square images. I don’t know the optimum distance between the lenses for 3D images or spatial video, but if a bar running the full length allowed for superior images, then I would happily carry it. Case design could help alleviate the carrying discomfort of the irregular surface.hmlongco said:This doesn't work well with Spatial Video since you're wanting stereo landscape results but you're shooting in a vertical orientation.
What would be truly bizarre is if this is true, but it doesn't matter how you hold your phone due to square camera sensors?
Was Hasselblad right all along???

More M4: When the Mac will get upgraded with the latest Apple Silicon
I can’t judge a “delay”, but for my interest, intent, and investment, Thunderbolt 5 is primary. M4 is a step on the road toward this destination. (Somewhat similarly with the Vision Pro, with the current state of the technology, I am happy to offload the processing and power supply, and maybe EyeSight, too, but please sport the highest quality main display).Chris_Pelham said:Well, the M3 wouldn’t support iPad Pro’s new screen and they apparently had enough M4 chips ready so we got an M4 iPad Pro. As others have said, it may take them additional months to have enough M4’s to update all the other lines as well as to manufactures the M4 Pro, Max, and Ultra chips. One other possible explanation for a delay could be that Apple wants to include Thunderbolt 5 in some or all of these models and bring out an updated Studio Display to take advantage.
While Apple does sometimes just update a particular spec, it seems like when they multiple advancements at hand, they like to roll them out all at once rather than piecemeal. I couldn’t really see Apple announcing M4 (but not M4 Pro, Max, and Ultra) desktops now and then 4-9 months later adding those faster chips along with Thunderbolt 5 and whatever else might be upgraded. Probably there is not that much demand for the base model Studios and Mac Pros? And the advancement of the M4 would not be much news if it is slower than the high-end M2s so who would upgrade to that rather than wait a few more months for the truly high-power models? I get that its frustrating to know that the M4 is out and yet we seemingly won’t be able to use it in a Mac for awhile, but we can also see it as, you know, Christmas came early for the iPad Pro, the glass is half full rather than half empty, and lots more goodies are coming soon!

Apple Vision Pro shipments reportedly cut as US demand for headset wanes
I agree. If the Vision Pro headset ran macOS software and thereby functioned as a $3,500 extra mobile 4K laptop, then my interest level would have been much higher.mikethemartian said:Apple should make a docking station for it so when you don’t want to wear it you can use it as a Mac Mini with a monitor, keyboard and mouse. That way the dual purpose helps someone justify the price.
