All things : New iPad and iPad Pro released

Call me delulu () but I think there's a HomePod Max () or a revamped Apple TV coming.

Holy crap! I just found out Assistive Touch now has single/double tap, long press and 3D touch 

This might help me cope with larger iPhones now since I can set them to Control Center and Notification Center.

On top of that, there's also double/trip Back Tap, which can be used to run shortcuts

I'm still on the original SE so I don't have Back Tap  (poor peasant)

Only have Assistive Touch for now

Imagine turning off all your lights before bed just by double back tapping your phone

No need for stupid Siri

Oh dear I want to be rich

Intel has launched an attack campaign against M1 Macs.

A string of videos featuring Justin Long, who starred in Apple's "I'm a Mac" ads back in the day.

Chile Intel had to use their i7 chips to beat the M1, which replaced the i3 and i5 chips in the Mac lineup

Clutching at straws here

These aren't it. Honestly, they're not the WORST, I can see why they made them, but like meh. Who do they think they're saving from converting here?

And the features have nothing to do with the Intel chips

They’re also attacking Intel Macs

The first version of Mac OS X (later renamed OS X, now macOS), "Cheetah" was launched 20 years ago today.

They were bound to run out of options, I guess

I especially liked the tick-tock OS X names like (Snow) Leopard and (Mountain) Lion but I also don't miss having to pay for the latest OS

Did the most recent iOS security update do weird things to anyone else?  It set my weather settings to Celsius and totally broke the automatically created folders in the app library.  Now every app I've downloaded is in an "Other" folder and everything else is mismatched and useless.  I'm very confused
