Notes on AI, tools, and tech.
Apple announced the new Mac Studio with M5 Ultra yesterday, and my feed has been nothing but benchmarks and hot takes since. I was eating cereal when I saw the press release — not even kidding. I almost choked because the memory configs go up to 512GB now, which is insane for a desktop you … Read more
Apple pushed out iOS 27 Beta 7 to developers today. I checked the build number first — that’s usually where the interesting stuff hides. And sure enough, 24A5424a. The “a” at the end? That’s Apple’s way of saying they’re almost done. But let me back up. I’ve been following the iOS 27 beta cycle since … Read more
So Apple is finally updating the regular AirPods. Not the Pro ones, not the Max ones — the entry-level ones that most people actually buy. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is planning to announce AirPods 5 at its September 9 event, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and that foldable iPhone everyone keeps talking about. … Read more
I’ll be honest — I didn’t know this feature existed until about two months ago. And I’ve worn an Apple Watch every day for three years. Here’s what happened. I went to see Dune: Part Two with a friend. Dark theater, big screen, the whole thing. About 20 minutes in, I reached for my popcorn, … Read more

I haven’t installed iOS 26.6.1 yet. I’ll be honest — I usually wait a few days. Let other people find the bugs. But I read through Apple’s security notes this morning, and what’s in there is worth paying attention to. Apple released iOS 26.6.1 today. No new features. No redesigned Lock Screen. No AI emoji … Read more
Apple’s September event is coming, and this year’s lineup sounds different than usual. Based on what’s been floating around, we might see five new devices. But here’s the kicker – Apple might not show the full iPhone 18 family all at once. The standard iPhone 18, iPhone 18e, and the second-gen iPhone Air? Those could … Read more
Apple’s about to raise the price of the iPhone 17 lineup. Maybe as soon as August 10. That’s the word from supply chain chatter, and honestly, it’s not that surprising. Memory chip costs have been climbing for months, and Apple already bumped up prices on most of its other hardware back in late June. The … Read more
