This week gonna be very busy with #WWDC20. Check out the carefully crafted newsletter “Apple’s Upcomings” and subscribe to stay in the loop. Summary sent every day @ 7:00PM. Thanks to Mailbrew. 👈🏻👌🏻🙏🏻 share.mailbrew.com/apple_obs…
Oopsy, Apple! You Download the App and it Doesn’t Work
If Apple starts the transition from Intel to ARM with lowest volume Mac, I would have expected they do it starting with the Mac mini. Kuo confirms ARM at WWDC: 13.3-inch MacBook Pro and new 24-inch iMac will be the first ARM Macs, released as soon as Q4 - 9to5Mac
Apple's passive-aggressive attitude... #wwdc
Apple’s ARM-based Macs (aggressive) transition plans… these rumours seems to point to a much more aggressive transition than I was expecting… Apple must know a few things that we don’t which could explain such an expedited transition. #wwdc2020 #wwdc www.macrumors.com/2020/06/2…
Dear Apple AirPort Extreme users, watch this space for something that could change your tech life forever. numericcitizen.me
Hey, HEY & Apple - Settle down already! #apple #appstore #hey
I’m not very optimistic on the outcome of the “HEY vs Apple” battle. Both, in their own ways, are arrogant, blinkered and calling out each other. Each will lose their face with a concession, even if it’s small. Big egos against each other here.
Meanwhile, potential users on iOS will suffer from the lack of much needed app updates. This could be a deal breaker for many users like me. HEY is losing, Apple is losing, users are losing.
What a mess. ☹️
The previous tweeted quote about Basecamp/HEY founders attitude was a clip from a newsletter that I have created and that I’m receiving each day. The quote is not from Mailbrew themselves but from Benedict Evans. I should have been more precise.
