This little website will be on break for a couple of weeks, from March 5 to 19. See you soon.
This a not-so-subtle hint that Apple will announce a new MacBook Air this week. The new MacBook Air is expected to be powered by an M4 chip and will be available in the same 13-inch and 15-inch designs as the current model.
From next month, iPhones eligible to receive Apple’s iOS 18.4 update will support Bangla, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu. These languages would be applicable across every nook and cranny of the iPhone’s software interface, just the way it already supports languages such as French, Latin or Mandarin Chinese.
A senior company executive told Mint that the introduction of the new languages involved “crucial contributions from Apple’s India teams, which work cross-functionally across various aspects of the company’s software development, with their global counterparts."
Apple today announced a bevy of new content for baseball fans. This includes the return of Friday Night Baseball on Apple TV+, a new Apple Immersive film and the launch of the TV+ documentary covering the 2024 World Series.
Apple published a new iPhone 16 Pro ad this weekend, and this one is quite special. To show the Audio Mix feature in action, the company recorded a music video using the latest iPhone – but that’s not all, as the clip also celebrates the Brazilian Carnival.
iFixit was not impressed with some of the design decisions that Apple made, due to the repair difficulty. To get to the USB-C port, for example, all of the internal components of the device need to be removed. Still, iFixit said that the iPhone 16e makes some progress toward repairability thanks to the rollback of parts pairing in iOS and small changes like a metal bracket that protects a flex cable from being sliced when opening up the device.
Vision Pro owners should see the app if they install the visionOS 2.4 developer beta today. Last month, Apple described Spatial Gallery as containing a curated selection of spatial videos, photos, and panoramas, including things like behind-the-scenes clips from Apple TV Plus shows like Severance and Shrinking.
For my next presentation, I plan to use a free and open-source keystroke visualizer called KeyCastr. In my testing so far, it seems to provide the core features I need, displaying keystrokes in a customizable lozenge and indicating mouse clicks with a circle around the pointer.
The Apple experience was once defined by the joy of using products that "just worked." Today, that promise feels increasingly hollow as software struggles to keep pace with hardware capabilities. As users and customers, we need to vocally advocate for the quality-focused Apple we once knew.
Apple has responded to a lawsuit filed at the end of February accusing the company of making false claims about the carbon neutrality of its products. In a statement to the US website Appleinsider, the tech company said it was "proud of its carbon-neutral products" and emphasized that they were "the result of industry-leading innovation". Apple has reduced emissions for the Apple Watch by over 75 percent and is investing significantly in nature-based projects to remove hundreds of thousands of tons of carbon from the air.
Guess what? I’m constantly missing good stuff and I’m fine with that.
I am taking a break from this little website for a couple of weeks. I'll be back on March 20th. Or maybe sooner, if I feel like it.
(Fun fact: whenever I see 'a couple' in a sentence, my brain always visualizes it as a few. Two or more. Somehow, my brain doesn't associate 'a couple' as simply 'two'.)
Thank you for reading. I appreciate you.
I'll be back.
