Deep dives
Roasting Mike
Mike, your choice of using an empty row at the bottom of your home screen and your insistence on the plus-sized iPhone is questionable. It's clear that you were still in the 'I need somewhere to swipe' club. And don't even get us started on your excessive use of task management apps, like Wunderlist, Clear, To-Doist, and Silo. It seems you were having trouble managing your tasks at the time.
Roasting Federico
Federico, we can't ignore the fact that you had a lot of greeting apps on your home screen, suggesting that you were deeply involved in the business of sending and receiving greetings. Additionally, your obsession with Pinterest and dig is also perplexing. It seems you were using these platforms to save app interface examples and stay up-to-date with the latest trends. It's clear that you had a penchant for exploring new and interesting apps at the time.
Roasting Stephen
Stephen, your choice of having an empty row at the bottom of your home screen like Mike suggests that you also belonged to the 'I need somewhere to swipe' club. And the mix of icons with different design styles is quite jarring. Did you not notice that some icons had textures and shadows while others were flat? It's clear that you were not paying attention to the visual cohesiveness of your home screen. Additionally, your extensive use of Evernote raises some questions about your note-taking habits, especially considering the major design changes that would come in the future.
Apple's M3 line: Advancements in GPU technology
The M3 line of processors from Apple has brought significant advancements in GPU technology, allowing for improved gaming experiences on the Mac. With targeted efforts towards GPU development and the inclusion of ray tracing capabilities, Apple has made gaming on the Mac more feasible than ever before, even rivaling the performance of previous-generation Nvidia cards. This focus on GPU technology sets the M3 line apart and highlights Apple's ability to move the ball forward in different areas at different rates.
Challenges in Apple's chip production and product updates
Although Apple's transition to its own silicon grant the company more control, there are still challenges in chip production and product updates. Supply chain issues and design complexities can lead to delays in releasing updated chips and models. For example, the potential delay in rolling out the Ultra variant of the M3 line could shorten the lifespan of the M2 generation. Production constraints and strategic decisions may also influence the availability of updated chips for popular devices like the MacBook Air. Despite Apple's efforts, external factors can still affect the timing and availability of new chip releases.
