Thoughts on Apple

As I wrote earlier, I agree with this sentiment. Hopefully our Pro Display XDRs last a long time, time enough for something better to come along.

I’m with Drang and Snell on this one.

John Higgins at The Verge has written the best review of the new Studio Display XDR I’ve read.

This look into the creative process behind Apple’s spatial environments in the Vision Pro was fun. Most of the article focuses on the process behind bringing Jupiter to the platform as an enviroment, and is worth a read.

I’m a long-time laptop user who recently experimented with a Mac Studio and a 13″ M4 MacBook Air but ultimately decided to return to the MacBook Pro for its superior processing power, particularly for native app development.

The new Apple Studio Display XDR is out, just a few months after I bought a (used) Pro Display XDR. I’m happy with that purchase after seeing the new display, despite liking the direction Apple has taken.

This is a life saver if you’re using the Codex app with Xcode.

Finally!

This interview has the best discussion I’ve come across about Rivian’s decision and rationale behind not implementing CarPlay in their vehicles. Read the post on my site for more thoughts on it.

Dye’s departure really has been celebrated by every Apple pundit I follow.

I agree with this entire article: I’m glad Dye—and others on the design team at Apple—are moving on, and hope that this allows a new generation to step up.
