According to my research, the new iPad mini does support extended desktop!

A detachable switching to iPadOS would have been a lot better for artists I think (I produce music and draw and own iPads), but Apple wants to sell you on iPads AND Macs plus their iCloud syncing service so they won't do that and merge it into one device.

I also think both Touch and the new Duo phone size are vehicles to lock in devs into native frameworks and make native development more exclusive.

There was a quad core Mini back in 2011. The old iMac was a good all in one package for designers, especially because you'd spend half or more for an equivalent quality screen.

The new post Jony Ive design and limitation to 24 inches make it undesirable. I know a lot of folks with older 2007 - 2019 iMacs but none of them who upgraded from those have the new 2020+ one.

Is Stage Manager with an external monitor possible with this new iPad Mini or still artificially limited to M chips? I mean it’s more powerful than the M1 iPad Air which supports it.

You just know something is utter trash when such an obvious domain is used.

Jony Ives goal or obsession is invisible computing that gets out of the way, so thinner is just on a trajectory towards that. No surprise he ended up at an AI company and works on voice interfaces etc.

Those are private label brands where the US or EU owners look for ready made low cost products within a category across different Chinese factories and slap their logo on top. Like SEO they game the product search engine and listings on Amazon to appear on the first search result pages, knowing that most impulse buyers don't have much patience.

The factories usually ship directly to Amazon warehouses and it is also fulfilled by Amazon (FBA).

HomeView, HomePod and AppleTV should be one device. A powerful home server + a bunch of low powered clients and receivers all over the home. No need for 8gb RAM in all of them..

This thing needs some legs or wheels so that it can follow you around a house, becoming a telepresence bot basically.

Apple is literally cooking for non tech savvy seniors it seems. More or less a locked down foolproof iPad on a stand.

Only on the same local network I guess.

Inevitable given that a lot of dev entrepreneurs are moving from high level CRUD to low level software, CAD and hardware now with AI. But it might move beyond Linux once AIs come up with their own programming languages.

I think because the foods aren't equally digestible and as such lead to a different supply of steady energy. Food cravings can distract.

Cool, I think there's a bug when switching themes in the web ui in Safari, the artifacts example with the dark red background isn't readable in light themes. Vesper would be a nice theme to add.
