My hypothesis: Apple will further rise the prices on new devices. They will keep the old models around at the current price, the new models will be even more expensive. They will „begin“ raising pricing.

@Gargron a trick for long flight bookings - if you book them coming from google flights to German booking.com, for 10-15% extra you can book full refund cancellation in cash without reasons until up to 24 hours before departure.

Squircle Jail is the worst design-related thing Apple has ever done to Mac developers, and probably the worst icon-related thing it has ever done, period. Incredibly developer-hostile.

If squircled icons are actually better, then let that design win in the market. That's how we transitioned from the classic Mac OS icon style to the more photorealistic Mac OS X icon style. Developers adopted it because they wanted to, and because users desired it.
