Virtual bezels and let the user choosing.
And pay for a screen size I won't use? No, thanks.
iPad mini 2024 with Pencil Pro and Math Notes is going to revolutionize math education.
It is interesting that one of their examples is a "community repair fair", they want to market a sheen of social responsibility without actually taking part themselves.
Lowkey wish their laptops would be as they used to be. Being able to swap RAM or hard drives is so basic but so useful.
You don't realize how much it matters until it does, and then it changes everything. Always having to carry an external drive just because my email takes 150gb of the 256gb MacBook storage is even more annoying than windows puting candy crush saga on the start menu.
I still remember the Steve Jobs era when people would praise Apple for having a simple lineup of devices, in contrast to Android, which had some crazy amount of variants of every device. How times have changed.
In many ways (no pun intended :-)) I would relate to having an iPad mini and a much much dumber phone which was just text/chat and voice. I have gotten there because I'm constantly in this weird tension between wanting a bigger screen on my phone because the app I'm using and wanting a smaller phone so that it is easier to pocket and carry around. A friend of mine did the folding screen phone thing and that has its a…
I am moving away from my phone to just using my Apple Watch/AirPods then pulling out the mini when I need something it can't cover.

I wish I could do this but I have yet to find a good Apple Watch replacement for owning and syncing music (rather than streaming it)
Is it not possible to sync MP3s to Apple Watches anymore? I have a really really old model, and I selected a few playlists on my iPhone, and when they change, the songs automatically sync to my Apple Watch.

Even giving students full access to Mathematica (which I think is worthwhile BTW) won't revolutionize it.

Drives in particular. Let them solder the memory if they absolutely have to, but exposing even an empty NVMe slot should be standard for laptops. Unfortunately, Apple makes a pretty penny off the storage surcharge so I wouldn't really anticipate that anytime soon.
I will accept the trade off for the performance boost tbh.
Bump up from 64 GB default to 128 GB is nice.
At this point, the only word that can be applied to it is "overdue" for anything who uses it beyond a thin client for server-side storage or a streaming service
