  • Rumored iOS 19 & macOS 16 design changes will be polarizing, as always

    It'd be nice if Apple allowed easy customization so that we could have the look we want instead of what we're forced to have.  Updates for features are awesome but having the flat look jam down our throats wasn't cool.  I've always hated the flat look and if given the choice to flip a switch or download an icon pack, I would in an instant.  I choose to Think Different.  Forced conformity for features is something Microsoft would do.  I hate the look of the oses and wish changes were readily available for those of us who would trash the flat look in an instant.

  • ARM iMac, 13-inch MacBook Pro coming at end of 2020, says Ming-Chi Kuo

    Remember the Keynotes where Steve and Phil would do on-stage benchmarks using various Mac's and their rivals?  I'd love to see a return to this showing how the new Apple chips compete against the Intel computers using the most common benchmark software out there that all of the YouTube tech channels use anyway.  If it can be clearly demonstrated that pro software performs significantly better on the Apple chip, it may assuage their resistance to change.  I remember my hesitation to embrace the PowerPC G3 (300 MHz Tangerine iBook), but I dove in and never regretted the purchase.  As it stands now, I'd love to see those old fun computer designs return.  Everything they make these days fits right in with Sci-Fi movies, which is great for people who like that sort of thing.  I know I'm old when I get nostalgic about those fun old designs. 

    I'll likely purchase the new Apple chip laptop when it comes out just like I did with the G3 iBook, the first iPod, and the first iPhone.  I just hope Apple makes them look different than their current offerings.  Everything looks so damn sterile these days.

  • Apple releases GM builds of iOS 13.5, iPadOS 13.5, watchOS 6.2.5, tvOS 13.4.5

    Disabling this as soon as it’s updated.  I have zero interest in everything this stands for.
