Thanks AppleInsider, although I joined in August 2010.

US lawmakers call for universal charging standard - but not necessarily for USB-C
Talk about stifling future innovation. Wireless, or otherwise "cableless" charging? NO! USB-C only!!

Apple simplified System Settings for macOS Ventura, moved many items
This will perhaps be a controversial change, so I'm only expressing my opinion as a long-time pre-iPhone Apple / Mac user.
From a GUI perspective, this is either great, or terrible, depending on the path people have taken to acquiring an Apple laptop or desktop product. For those of us who have spent years with a traditional Mac / Windows icon grid layout, the new interface can seem simplistic, or even patronizing. Instead of showing all of your top level options on one screen, it sacrifices this for the sake of showing more detailed "second level" options of whatever top level option is already selected. On a touch device with limited screen space, this of course makes more sense. But on a 4k -- let alone 6k -- monitor, it could be argued that it's a misuse or even waste of available desktop space. This sort of change can be seen by some as a "dumbing down" of technology, since it makes things more obvious at the expense of potentially being slower.
On the other hand, pre-computers, a list is a much more natural analog way to record or browse through anything, so scrolling through a list may be easier on the eyes / brain to sort through the top-level items anyway. Besides this, Apple kept shuffling and re-shuffling the categories, which made those of us who are "visual people" have a harder time with each OS to locate the desired item. Like I say, it's hard to know what's a good or bad design move anymore, as technology continues to evolve.
It'll be interesting to see the response to this by others as well.

How the iPad is used by AppleInsider staff and why it remains important
This is sort of a strange article. It's almost like an article about an article...a love letter to, or summary of, the iPad and how it fits into the Apple ecosystem, in mostly broad terms.The readers still wonder: How do AppleInsider employees actually use their iPads, in a very practical sense? Specifically, what apps do they use? Why, versus a Mac? Workflow ideas? etc. Something we can actually take away and apply. -
Tim Sweeney says App Store is a 'disservice to developers,' wants to protect Metaverse
"So our business isn't about extracting money from creators as much as helping them find opportunities," he continued, "and profiting alongside them from the opportunities as they emerge." Talk about double-speak.

iOS 16 will have refreshed Apple apps but look the same as iOS 15
So glad this guy brought his crystal ball to work. This could easily have be copied and pasted from nearly every prior release, and it would still be true.
