Interesting to see them going back to human curated Apple Music playlists. They started that way when they rebranded Beats Music and it was amazing, but once they switched to ""AI"" recommendations their quality tanked massively and I cancelled my subscription few weeks later.

Might give them another chance now.

Seeing them promote another subscription is kind of sad.

Would have been nice to see them announce a new ipod nano so that I could stop having to strap a tablet sized phone to my arm when I go to exercise.

I have both, unfortunately I can't store any music on the watch unless I use apple music.

The cynic in me wants to dismiss the leaps and bounds of the M1 chips. The reality is I own one of these laptops and am constantly surprised at how much better it is than the intel chips. Its going to be hard not to turn my current M1 laptop in and upgrade to the newer M1 Max.

The way that Apple has scaled the original M1 architecture to the M1 Pro/Pro Max bodes extremely well for the future.

Looks like they are bringing back the HDMI port and sd card slot on the pro. Wonder if they got enough complaints about those I/Os being missing on a "pro" machine

Adding more value by taking away less and bringing back more.
