If Apple is indeed close to releasing the third-generation Apple Pencil with a magnetic pencil tip, I can see that coming with some new trick, enabled with iPadOS 17.1, probably to be launched before October 21st¹. What else could this new pencil do? Include an electronic erasure on the other end of the pencil? 👀

The date was apparently leaked by a French government agency about the reduction of radiation from the iPhone 12, which Apple would indeed fix no later than October 21st. ↩︎

Episode 05 — Sometimes It’s Better to Say No

The timing was right, and the target was well-defined, but the potential traction was far from guaranteed. Would this project be worth all the effort? Someone said: for every yes, there are a thousand no. After many weeks of thought and pondering, I decided against doing a unique project.

Apparently, Apple is working on a way to upgrade iOS on iPhone still in their box at the Apple Store. This would prevent issues where there is a bug in the final release of iOS that could hinder the upgrade experience of new buyers. I’m still wondering how the GM of iOS is installed at the factory and how long it takes to be installed. Is the USB-C port helping make the operation faster? 🤔

I went to the Apple Store yesterday. Surprisingly, in the front of the store only has letters printed on the front windows. Pretty lame. I spent some time looking at other shades for the 15 Pro line. The natural titanium definitively reminds me of the iPhone 4 contour design, which I love very much. I’m still happy with my black iPhone 15 Pro Max, but…

👉🏻 What an entertaining story by @basicappleguy about Apple’s controversial cases, with beautiful imagery, as always. I do have a case for one of my AitTag. 😳

Who remembers this? Countless moments were spent looking at this back in 1984 and 1985. It’s one of Apple’s best and most timeless designs, even if it’s beige¹.

I’m still in my early phase with my iPhone 15 Pro Max 📸📱. Taking photos with this phone offers more possibilities, asking for more thoughts while shooting a scene. Am I the only one who wished Apple had created a profiling questionnaire during the iPhone setup, asking questions to determine our general experience level with photography? Depending on our answers, parameters would be set accordingly. ☝🏻

I made discoveries today while doing some much-needed cleanup in my home office. Here, this is what could be the first Apple dongle¹. More to come soon… 👀

This box was an AppleTalk network junction box. The smaller beige piece was for connecting two AppleTalk cables. ↩︎

I’m weak. 🤦🏻‍♂️

FineWoven case-gate. Titanium-scratch-gate. Overheating-gate. What’s next for the iPhone 15 Pro?¹

so far, no issue with the Max! ↩︎
