I'm particularly happy about the profile picker: my family never changes it, and pollutes my Up Next, Recently Played, etc. I'm hoping that other apps will be able to map these profiles to theirs and make it so I don't have to pick a profile in every single app.
The whole thing is good, but this point about rental cars is an important one: I won’t take a GM rental car that can’t use CarPlay.
One interesting part of this review about the foveated rendering on Vision Pro reminds me of how the original iPhone rendered a grid for the parts of the screen that it couldn't render real detail for to keep that smooth flowing sensation, and it caught up when it could.
It's a false premise that GM must offer either its "deeply integrated experience" OR CarPlay. GM doesn't want to offer CarPlay next to their own experience, not because they can't, but because they know that people want the apps that are on their phones, not GM's.
Ads like these are product cancer. Apple made its success by offering the best experience for people who paid the premium for its offerings. This is a terrible direction.
Too bad. I probably wouldn't do it for this one anyway, but the ease of Apple's trade-in (vs. selling it myself) might have been a factor in my decision to upgrade at a later time.
I wasn't in too much danger of buying a GM vehicle at this point, but this definitely kills even the remote chance that did exist.
I haven't been following F1 for a while, but I will dip in and check out this coverage. They didn't explicitly mention Vision Pro. I'm still hoping that there will be a more immersive experience for Vision Pro.
Gruber has a harsh—I think _too_ harsh—take on 1password. I'm here to say that I remain a happy 1password user.
Dan Moren has a [good write up of AppleCare One at _Six Colors_](https://sixcolors.com/post/2025/07/apple-announces-applecare-one-a-device-coverage-bundle-program/), detailing the new warranty bundle program. The list of the individual AppleCare prices helped me decide if it was a good deal for me.
