  • Inside Apple Music: how you can get the most out of Apple's music streaming service

    Nice try. It's still confusing. Home has personalised Playlists and generic Playlists; but almost no personal new Album or Song recommendations? And Browse (actually called "New"?) has new Albums and Songs, but they are not personalised. New also has Updated Playlists (wouldn't they be under Home)?

    Apple Music Radio  only has three stations, why do I have Musica Uno Apple Music Radio, Chill Apple Music Radio and Club Apple Music Radio. And Local Radio is buried somewhere in the 17th row.

    Where are the videos and video playlists?

    Nope, it's a mess.
    Do you have "Use Listening History" checked in Settings? Are you actively marking artists, albums, and songs as Favorites? You have to train Music to learn what you like. My Home section is chock full of playlists built for me including based on certain artists, new album releases picked for me, recommendations based on bands I love, Friend Are Listening To, so forth. It's FULL of personalized content.

    Some people don't want AI ok? AI takes additional space, increased CPU load and eats more of the battery. 
    So turn it off — you don't have to use it.

    It's a little strange to have an outlier like this in the product lineup, since every other iPad, iPhone, and Mac support it now (aside from the iPhone 15 which is still for sale for some reason).

    The new iPad is 11th gen. I bought some 10th gen to update our family a month or so ago. I'm surprised they left the baseline iPad as the only product without Apple Intelligence. But this update leaves me feeling just fine about not having bothered to wait.
    We tend to agree, but Apple seems to be reworking the naming, and is inconsistent about it.

    For now, we're going to call it the 2025 iPad.
    For what it's worth, the URL slug on Apple.com refers to it as the 11: https://www.apple.com/ipad-11/

    Also your caption for the photo say "2024 new iPad 10th generation" btw.

  • Tim Cook teases the imminent launch of a new MacBook Air

    I wouldn't expect much from this other than the M4 with more std RAM (16GB), TB5 and the ability to support dual displays. Other than that, same MBA as before. 
    The M2 and M3 MacBook Air both already ship with 16GB standard.

  • Apple getting serious about MacBook Pro with integrated graphics tablet and iPhone charger...

    fastasleepfastasleep

    C’mon, Apple, just let the Apple Pencil work with the huge trackpad already.
    YES PLEASE.

    With MagSafe this would work pretty good. Until you forgets your phone when closing the lid. 
    No it wouldn't. Put your iPhone on your palmrest and try to use your Mac.

    "Getting serious" about an integrated iPhone charger, my ass.
