Apple could eliminate nearly all the complaints about their ~~derivative~~ innovative new ~~Aero~~ Liquid Glass interface design if they simply made the opacity adjustable from fully transparent to fully opaque in the settings. But they probably won’t do that.

#Macworld reports that the next version of #macOS will be called macOS 26 instead of macOS 16. If #Apple hadn’t dropped the OS X name, I guess they’d have to start calling it OS XX.

Looks like you’ll be able to use an #Apple-brand Smart Battery Case to convert your sleek new #iPhone 17 Air—with its super-skinny, low-capacity battery—into a thicker, heavier dual-battery iPhone that can last the day on a charge.

But if you’re gonna do that, why buy an iPhone 17 Air in the first place, instead of the regular or Pro 17, both of which will have better camera and speaker systems?

I wonder whether #Apple waited to announce the new #MacBookAir until the day after the #Trump #tariffs kicked in because they wanted to see if he’d go through with them before they finalized #US pricing.

It will be interesting to see if the prices go up tomorrow. Equivalent spec 15" Airs and 14" Pros are close enough that it’s hard to see them raising the price of one but not the other. Apple has the luxury of being able to choose whether to prioritize per-unit margins or total sales numbers.
