In the future Apple will further reduce their SKU complexity by offering one model and many subscriptions.

They’ll further leverage economies of scale to drive down unit cost & introduce streamed/cloud based solutions.

Massive margin expansion opportunity.

TIL there's no easy way to use the iPhone's camera on the mac to record vertical video

1) Continuity Camera forces landscape regardless of phone orientation
2) iPhone Mirroring in Sequoia renders the camera inaccessible
3) standard screen mirroring is full-screen only, no way to use the computer for anything else

wtf

The worst part about getting a new phone is figuring out a case. I would love to go caseless, but phones are too slippery. I bought 6 cases and there was one clear winner - the Caudabe Paragon case.

MKBHD doesn’t only get early access to Apple products now, bro now reviews AI products. Next year is going to be extremely competitive. Sam Altman should watch his back.

How do virtual machines perform on the new MacBooks?
I've been a Windows user my entire life, but my laptop recently broke, so I'm considering switching to one of the new MacBooks with the M4 chip. I primarily need a laptop for college, and I’ll be running multiple virtual machines simultaneously (Linux, Windows). Would the base model with 16GB of RAM be sufficient for my needs?

ps: Is parallels the best vm?
iPhone used to let you long-press on a notif and then click “turn off notifs from this app” and now it’s gone. Idk what happened to it
