Terrific piece for TidBITS from David Shayer, who worked as a software engineer at Apple for 18 years:…

I fully expect more Apple hardware before the end of the year, but not another keynote event.

Bipartisan letter from the U.S. Congress to Tim Cook:…

Future pairs you with a world-class coach who builds you a custom training plan, monitors your progress using an Apple Watch, and texts you daily to keep you on track.…

What a facile, bullshit article from Bloomberg. Where is the proof that the lack of 5G is “stinging” Apple in any way? By all reports, iPhone 11 sales are up over last year, not down. 5G is a niche technology this year, and the only phones that support it…
