"How to switch profiles in Safari on iPhone" from Apple Support:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xbbnhfUOKM

If you don't see this interface on your iPhone, go to Settings > Safari, scroll down, tap "New Profile" to add one.

Not something I need, but I do like knowing this exists.

New "Lord of the Rings" movie coming in 2026:

• Peter Jackson to produce
• Andy Serkis to direct
• Working title is “Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum”

Presumably, Andy Serkis will still do the motion capture acting and voice work for Gollum?

Or will AI have taken over by then?

The bundles are coming:

• Disney+, Hulu, Max mash up their original content with content from ABC, Fox, TNT, TBS, CNN, Discovery Channel, Food Network, & more

• ESPN, Fox Sports, Discovery are combining forces for a sports channel bundle

So we went from cable bundles, to cord cutting, to paying for internet and more bundles.

This does not feel like a win for consumers. More like a shuffling of the deck.

This rendition of the much maligned iPad Pro "Crush" ad is GENIUS.

If you've not seen the ad:

"Marvel Studios and ILM Immersive Announce 'What If...? - An Immersive Story' Coming Exclusively to Apple Vision Pro"

Vision Pro is 💰

If it was cheaper, this sort of content would def drive me to buy in.

And the M3 Macs, the M4 iPad Pro definitely are in line ahead of Vision Pro for my limited budget.

From @gruber :
"As for the “ACDC” codename, if I didn’t know any better, I’d half wonder if Jim Dalrymple took a job on Apple’s silicon team."

You KNOW we are going to talk about this on this week's show. 😄

Look how amazingly skinny the new iPad Pro is.

Of all the pics I've seen, IMO this one does the best job at conveying that skinniness.

Makes me want one, just for the skinny.

Like counting cards in Vegas, but this one was used to beat a TV game show out of some big 💰:

"After weeks of painstaking scrutiny Michael realized that the bouncing prize selector did not actually move randomly; it always followed one of five lengthy sequences"

The show was in 1984, the article from 2011. Via Hacker News.

Great read.

Check out this custom Nike sneaker (see left pic).

A pair of these were made for Tim Cook, who wore them (right pic) during yesterday's #AppleEvent

Zoom in on the shoe, check out those pencil markings surrounding the Nike "swoosh".

Surprised they didn't go with Skechers, though. (I'll show myself out). ☺️

@davemark @gruber Is it true that Tim Cook wanted the combination of the new iPads and new Magic Keyboards to also have a switchable MacBook OS, starting with the specs of the first MacBook, but that the shareholders were against this?

Thinking about a new iPad and Apple Pencil?

The new iPad Pro "Nano-texture glass" is ONLY available in models with 1TB or more of storage (not in the 2 lowest tier models).

Which brings the base price for nano glass up to a min of:

• $1699 for the 11"
• $1899 for the 13"

Does anyone know about compatibility with older magic keyboards and the new iPad Pro?

🍿🎤
Eurovision starts today.

For US folks, you can watch live on Peacock, if you subscribe.

EU / UK folks, this still a big deal? Worth watching?
