Apple announced the new iPhone 16 today, which was a bit unusual since their annual event typically doesn’t happen on a Monday (usually Tuesday). Still, it was enjoyable to watch, with plenty of new features. We don't need groundbreaking "innovation" every year (and maybe no

It seems to have become my annual tradition to gripe about each year's WWDC. In fact, I realized I had started the last year's post with almost the same sentiment. When I watched the first half of this year's keynote, I was nearly ready

Buying a new iPhone on day one was my ritual; no, it has been a rather religious duty. I had bought a new iPhone every year since 2009 (3GS), but even to me, 'every year' was getting too challenging as the gadget went into the luxury domain. So,

Now it is my annual ritual to complain online-only WWDC. Four years have passed since the last in-person WWDC (2019). I'm so sorry that I couldn't complain about sad bagels - bagels without the toaster. However, the "no innovations at WWDC" phrase wouldn'

I'm usually saying to my acquaintances that my religion is Apple - half in fun, but I believe it would be a better religion than Jediism; yes... quite debatable, I know. I prefer a homogeneous environment and have filled my personal and work environment with Apple devices. I

My company had a two-year laptop replacement policy for engineers. So, I had my chance to replace my laptop and got a new MacBook Pro 16" with M1 MAX (10-core CPU, RAM 32G). M1 had been in the spotlight since its last year's debut, and M1 Pro

Yesterday, Judge Gonzalez Rogers adjudicated on the "Epic" case in the game industry. [https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/10/technology/epic-apple-app-developers.html?searchResultPosition=2] The judge defined the market as "digital mobile gaming" and said Apple did not have a monopoly on that market.

In late July, my daughter complained that her iPad - the first generation of 9.7 inch iPad Pro that I used before - was too slow. So... (you know) it was a perfect excuse for my upgrade. I turned my third-generation 2018 11 inch iPad Pro over to her
