Gonna say what everyone haven’t: the display is great to read but that’s it. The hardware is mediocre at best, and SolOS is unimpressive. At $730 it’s DOA since the iPad Air M2 exists and you can watch streaming on that.
And where is the evidence? Asking for a friend.
What's dissapointing about Dev Home is that it offers nothing of value to the average developer, let alone somebody start it.
Given the power of containerization and WSL2, you would expect it could create development environments for a given app, like creating a firmware for a microcontroller using Rust, or a backend using Typescript, and even bring common tools or toolchains. Instead, we get some widgets and that's it.
To slam its puss-ahem I mean, to thoroughly test their release.
Of course, otherwise would mean investing in huge data centers for running LLM models, or worse, buying hardware from NVIDIA.
Optimization is the key. Privacy is just an added bonus.
This could backfire into something Google don’t want: everyone using adblockers.
Imagine everyone installing adblockers just to skip YouTube’s obnoxious ad rolls, just to also block most Internet ads.
Suddenly, having an adblocker becomes mainstream like wearing socks.
Certainly the price increase involves losing a very small but vocal percent of users, that is covered by the rest of users who swallow the new price.
To me, their pricing wasn’t competitive. The only good plan is Apple Music plus TV+ if you’re st udent.
Well, that’s a bummer, but it will be interesting to see how it stacks up on day-to-day usage.
It’s not that the folks on the base M3 are going to stress out the machine with high computation tasks, but the Pro and Max surely will have enough people talking about synthetic benchmarks vs real benchmarks to see what optimizations Apple made that and are not paying off.
Of course it was. They didn’t have any competitive storefront to actually move the user base to another platform. I think it just shrunk it. Not even a migration path for all friends you had.
This is half-confirmation for what Android Authority discovered in the app as the incoming “Reddit pays you for your content”.
For that to work, they have to remove coins and awards.

There you have it. If iMessages was cross platform, people would use it, but it doesn't, so people will pivot for the second best thing.
Also, Northamerica SMS roots are deep, deeper than Europe, Asia and Latinamerica. Disgusting or not, the people already made its choice: $1 a year was too much.
