Deep dives
New VisionOS beta requires Apple Silicon for development
In the latest VisionOS beta, Apple has made it clear that developers will need to have an Apple Silicon Mac in order to develop for the new platform. This decision has sparked some controversy, with some people expressing frustration at the need to upgrade their Macs. However, others see this as a logical step, considering that Apple is transitioning all their platforms to Apple Silicon. It's worth noting that this requirement may be a sign of things to come, as we might see Mac OS become Apple Silicon-only in the future.
Controversy surrounding widgets on the Mac
The recent release of Mac widgets has sparked some debate among tech enthusiasts. While some find them useful and enjoy the clean and simple desktop interface they provide, others argue that the Mac already offers alternatives to easily access the same information. The differences in opinion highlight how individuals use their Macs in different ways and have different preferences for organization and workflow.
Availability of iPhone Preorders
The speaker missed the preorder period for the new iPhone and will have to wait until mid November for delivery.
Options for Getting the iPhone Sooner
The speaker could try visiting an Apple Store in person to see if the desired phone is available for pickup. Alternatively, they can put in the preorder and keep checking for available pickups at nearby stores.
Choosing Between Waiting and Visiting the Store
If the speaker is patient, they can wait until mid November for the delivery. However, if they are eager to get the phone sooner, they can try visiting the store and checking for pickup availability.
Considerations for Pickup Availability
Apple stores often receive stock for in-store pickups, so checking daily for availability might yield a positive result. It is recommended to put in the order first and then continuously monitor the store for any pickup options.
