Flower moon. Colorado Springs. Last night.

Went to the Apple Store yesterday to get some hands on time with the MacBook Neo.

Great machine. 🔥

One thing I did notice was the Neo's thickness. It weighs about the same as the 13" MacBook Air, but it is noticeably chunkier.

Small price to pay. Literally.

If Ringo joins Paul on stage at the Apple 50th anniversary bash, I will match Lorne Michaels’ check for $3000.

Paul and Ringo can split it any way they like.

The iOS 26.4 beta Music app lets me create a new playlist using Apple Intelligence.

Basically, you type in some text that describes what you’re looking for, and the 25 song playlist is automatically generated (see pic).

Similar to what Spotify does?

In iOS Home Screen:

- long-press an app
- tap "Require Face ID" (see pic)
- App is locked.

One of those "good to know" things.

I've noticed that on my Apple Watch (watchOS 26.3 beta) workout summary screen, the dismiss target is both:

- highlit when I press it (see pic) and
- has a larger tap target

This does NOT appear to be the case on my wife's watch (watchOS 26.2).

Anyone else seeing this? This old news?

Apple introduces iPhone Pocket.

OK, I get that this type of phone carrier is quite popular in parts of the world, much like the crossbody strap.

But the price. Oof.

- $149.95 for the short strap
- $229.95 for the shoulder strap

Anyone buying this?

Here's the brand new (iOS 26.1 beta 4) Liquid Glass option.

Left pic: "Clear" (the old one)
Right pic: "Tinted" (new)

To me, "Tinted" is WAY better, should be the default.

The new switch is hidden in Settings > Display & Brightness > Liquid Glass

Took Google AI Studio for a spin, used the prompt that's been flying around.

Absolutely astonishing (see pic).

Not sure what to make of this. EVERYTHING in the image was from Gemini. All done from a single image of my cat.

Crazy.
