8 Great Apple Arcade Games For Your iPhone Or iPad, by Andrew Webster, The Verge

Apple Arcade remains one of the best deals in gaming — even after getting a price bump. Since launch, the service has steadily grown with a mix of original mobile releases and App Store classics, none of which are burdened with the ads or in-app purchases that so often plague smartphone games. 2023 was a particularly strong year for new additions, with everything from daily word games for the Wordle-obsessed to cozy adventures to relax with. If you just picked up a new Apple device, or are using the subscription service for the very first time, here are some great places to start.

Hey, it's 2024.

I know this is the year of the Vision Pro, but personally, I am more interested in what Apple has to say about the new iPads. The longer the wait, the bigger the expectations, right? Either that, or there aren't many new ideas on how to advance the iPad line hardware-wise? It's already perfect as it is?

Also, Mac computers. Apple has stated, again and again, that all Mac computers will be powerful enough to play all the advance games that, surely, are coming to the platform. So, will we ever see a computer -- just like the previous MacBook -- that prioritizes portability (and adorable-ness) over performance? I certainly will like a Mac that is as portable as the iPad, but given the direction that Apple seems to be taking, I am not holding my breath for a mini laptop, or a Mac nano.

And I predict this will not be the year of the iCar. :-)
