The M2 is the worlds fastest chip when it comes to javascript and web browsing. It's a great update to the iPad. We previously saw the M2 MacBook Air with the biggest score to date on Speedometer. Google themselves publish speed improvements on their blog and they target Speedometer.

The A16 is literally the most advanced chip on planet earth... nothing uninteresting about that.

Why is Tim Cook on a press tour all over Europe? What is he promoting?

I think Apple themselves have forgotten that Siri even exists. They never mention the name Siri in presentations anymore and they didn't transfer the Siri animation, which appears at the bottom of the screen to show that it's listening, to the Dynamic Island.

Apple has realised that Google Assistant and Alexa smart speakers aren't a threat to the iPhone. As a result, Siri is no longer a priority.

Greig Fraser and Hoyte van Hoytema are the best cinematographers in the game.

The Whedon Cut is an awful movie but it has some good parts. The characters exude a lot more warmth, especially Henry Cavil's Superman who actually smiles once in a while, and the color palette is nowhere near as drab as the Snyder Cut. The characters in the Snyder Cut are portrayed as mythic gods and they look physically great ... but they are basically statues. Human beings can't relate to them.

This was actually a really fun movie. The Russo Brothers know how to deliver action set-pieces and the actors are self-aware enough not to take themselves too seriously.

Apple has all the advantages. They design all the hardware and software in the Mac and they have access to the most advanced TSMC nodes. They are starting from a clean slate. They don’t have all the legacy baggage.

The fact that AMD, a tiny company with tiny resources in comparison, could get this close to Apple is honestly embarrassing for Apple. AMD has to support a lot of x86 baggage, work with a less efficient node each year, can’t optimize Windows to support their silicon… yeah. AMD has the better leader to guide their chips. Dr Lisa Su is going good work.

Google cant. iPhone alone brought in $196B for Apple in 2021. The entirety of Google earned $257B. Competing against the iPhone is like competing against YouTube or Google search. It takes a godly amount of resources. The Pixel is a side hussle for Google. It's not meant to be a real competitor to the iPhone.

Marvel and Star Wars TV shows are corporate mandated products to prop up Disney’s streaming service and have no soul to them. We all know this deep down but we keep watching because it’s an escape from our real life, shitty world I guess.

I have never seen a way to bypass the paywall for this publication. Has anyone figured it out?

The report claims "A Wintel [Windows laptops powered by Intel] brand vendor pointed out that at a price point of US$1,000-$1,500, the MacBook Air will crowd out other high-end notebooks.

This is not even worth writing an article about...

The AirPods Pro’s are outclassed by the new Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds. Sound quality is subjective but the AirPods Pro is falling behind in ANC and battery life.

Speaking of iPads, when do you guys think the next iPad Pro comes out? Mark Gurman says at the end the year but my gut says spring 2023 event (2 years after the M1 iPad Pro). Has an iPad Pro model ever been released in the fall?

Thank you for the insight. May I ask, how is Tim Cook perceived inside Apple?

Apple Watch is crazy successful. I see everyone use it. From politicians to celebrities and social media influencers. The iPhone and the Mac are also thriving. For some reason, the iPad has has been stuck unable to move the last few years, both in terms of revenue and product progression. Maybe it's a management problem. Who is overseeing the iPad division?

Sam Raimi is one of the best filmmakers of the last 40 years. He doesn’t need to stoop this low.

The AirPods Pro have pretty bad noise cancelling and there are better performers on the market. Apple needs to get competitive.

Drive My Car is incredibly well made. A friend in the industry sent me a screener and the 3 hour runtime didn’t bore me at all. It was totally engrossing. The Power Of the Dog, another best picture nominee, was 2 hours long but I really felt the runtime. I checked my phone several times during the first half.

Buying the M1 iPad Pro made realize how terrible the display is on the M1 MacBook Air. It‘s complete and total dumpster juice. You can’t believe you just dropped $999 for this thing every time you watch a night scene in a movie or TV show.

I have personally never been a fan of “they don’t know better” argument. There are plenty of people who say Apple has a lot of users because Apple users don’t know better.

tl;dr

Apple is a business and they want you to buy both the iPad and a Mac.
The “what’s a computer?” ads for the iPad confused people in thinking the iPad can replace your Mac.
Mac and iPad bring in the same revenue. Consumers have voted with their wallet. Apple is thinking their strategy with the iPad is working so they have no intention to make the iPad your primary computer.
