Mac Studio benchmarks, Mac Pro chip rumors, the value of products with colors, and the rumored UI redesigns that may come to this fall's Apple OSes.

Accidental Tech Podcast: 630: Time to Spiral

Three nerds discussing tech, Apple, programming, and loosely related matters.

@atpfm @caseyliss The thing about colors is well-known in retail. You won't buy it (if you would, they would make it). A good comparison is “Diesel" clothing. They make wild stuff in reflective neon green so the stores look interesting. People buy the jeans and black t-shirts. The colorful products only exist for merchandise display.

So they make some phones they don't want you to buy, and a green iMac that Marco puts in his back office.

@atpfm @caseyliss It is a cultural difference. I might think “cool orange phone”, but in other cultures it might be “who is this jerk?”. Look at “tall poppy syndrome" for the European version. They are working with these problems.
