A look back at the iPhone 15 Pro Max
Talking about the iPhone 15 Pro Max almost one year out from its original launch date.

Apple needs to refocus on software
In which I get seriously tired of macOS getting more annoying and buggy than helpful, and it affecting how I feel about my otherwise excellent M1 MBP.

On Apple getting its collective ass handed to it

Apple’s Entitlement
“Apple is right to charge 30%, it’s their platform. They own it.” This is the line of logic I keep seeing The Apple Faithful use. They’re allowed to charge the fee! They own the platform! They put in all the hard work for developer resources and the App Store! (Even though this is precisely what…
