GN is meant to be informative over anything else, so you can make informed purchase decisions. I much prefer that to clickbait-oriented channels like LTT.

He's out of ideas so he has to do this nonsense for views.

A channel like Gamers Nexus puts LTT to shame for PCMR. For Apple content there's dozens of smaller channels.

I'm guessing it wasn't that type of party.

You don't use earplugs for concerts? Same principle.

That's why we have AMD Ryzen.

Why is it a problem? This is a US thing. No other country has 87% market share amongst teens.

Regardless, I don't see what the big issue is. If I was an American teenager I would get an iPhone. It's a hell of a lot better than the 3310 I had at the time!

But why is it constantly a finalist? Surely there is at least one app released this year which is worth of that spot.

Also why can't you create folders in the hidden album? That makes zero sense, I can put photos there but I can't organize them once they are in there?

This is an excellent article. I will highlight two sections I thought were most relevant:

When people wistfully proclaim that they wish for the next major macOS version to be a "Snow Leopard update", they're wishing for the wrong thing. No major update will solve Apple's quality issues. Major updates are the cause of quality issues.

We need to go back to biennial (once every 2 years) releases, to give the engineering team time to reduce their technical debt and stabilize major releases.

If each new major update introduces new bugs, and some of those bugs remain unfixed before the next major update is released, then over the course of multiple major updates you have bugs continuing to pile on top of each other, forming an ugly garbage heap.

That is the tech debt I mentioned above. Even iOS doesn't need to have yearly releases because smartphones are mature products now.

Personally, I have not upgraded from 16.7.2 on my 14 PM because it is quite stable, battery life is excellent, and there is nothing I want from iOS 17's features. I will likely only upgrade when iOS 18 comes out with (apparently) major changes to AI-related features.

On the Mac side, since it's a mission critical device I only update when the latest Xcode stops supporting the version I'm running (Ventura 13.6.2).
