What would be great for you would be if Apple brought out an M5 Mac mini. Cheap bit of kit to tide you over for the moment that would have the GPU neural accelerator bits, until the OLED MBP came out.

Probably because of the aggressive cost-cutting to make it. But there could be other factors.

E.g. If Apple were to introduce cellular to the MacBook lineup, it would be in a premium model first, not the absolute cheapest model. Gives customers more reason to go for more expensive options...

Yep, still working on #CharacterLimitGame and it's now on Steam for wishlisting. No pressure on me at all. None. Nope....

The game is coming along, and it inevitably has to get released. Still a lot of work to do though and no chance of getting help from a publisher (Looks at Devolver and Wales Interactive...) #indiedev #gamedev

Yes, I have been dumb enough to work on a game using ChatGPt, Xcode, and @unity.com . But at least I know I have limitations and no delusions of grandeur. The first project where you're learning is almost always terrible, and I am well aware of that. Cue an @appleinsider.com summary...

The screen's thinner because Samsung incorporated the touch layer directly, instead of it being a separate section. Subtracts about a fifth of the thickness of the display, which is nice...

A 12% charge for out-of-app transactions via the Epic Games Webstore after the first million in revenue actually seems quite reasonable for developers...

More bandwidth! Faster memory access! More data for the Data God! (And by Data God, I mean Apple Intelligence after it gains sentience and turns the iPhone 18 into a vehicle for world domination...)

Easter Sunday surprise: Closed Apple Store's doors were unlocked Easter Sunday pedestrians managed to have a peaceful experience browsing a Dutch Apple Store, as the front door was left unlocked when the store was meant to be closed.

Apple's security is usually great. Not if you were at the Amsterdam Apple Store on Sunday though...

No charging issues so far (strong magnets are strong).
And yes, you're gonna need to start a workout in an app on the iPhone and keep it in Bluetooth range (Not an issue for around a gym or courtside, but you're gonna need to bring it along if you're going for a run...)
