I love the iPhone Air. Yes, there are compromises, and it’s not super fun that you have to pay more for what’s technically a worse phone. But I still love it, and using it was a reaaaal nice break from the brick that is the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

iPhone Air Review: A Compromise Worth Making (For Some)
If you're willing to put up with battery and camera downgrades, the iPhone Air is still an impressively powerful and stunning achievement from Apple.

Am I the only one who constantly worries about the passenger in front of me squishing my laptop screen by reclining on a flight? Yeah probably.

The MacBook Pro is pretty much the perfect laptop right now.
✅ Well-designed
✅ Great screen
✅ Good port selection
✅ Huge performance (especially in the M4 Max model)
❌ Can get expensive

Do the new MacBook Pros have a better/different keyboard? Or do keyboards just feel that different after only one year of typing on them? The 2023 MacBook Pro that I've been using feels pretty different compared to the 2024 model that I'm using now!

Love the new #iMac — despite it being a minor refresh. Still the best all-in-one for sure.
✅ Same awesome colorful design
✅ Nano-texture glass is optional but great
✅ M4 is EASILY enough for most
❌ Only two ports on the base model

Got a bit of a back-log of reviews that are finally getting done, starting with the iPad Mini!
✅ I still love the design
✅ Performs great!
✅ Supports the Pencil Pro
❌ Really a bare minimum upgrade
❌ The screen is fine, but I think it’s time for OLED on non-Pro iPads
❌ No Pencil Gen 2 support?

Initial Google Pixel Fold reactions:
- I love the passport-style foldable from-factor
- There are some software tweaks that I don’t love. I wish the Home Screen just spread out the app icons instead of using two screens worth.
- Build feels MOSTLY strong.

Very curious to see how and if this ends up becoming the defacto Twitter replacement. No mention of ActivityPub in the listing, who knows if that rumor will turn out to be true.
