Neo Is a Great Name. But Is It Original? Almost everyone in the tech circles that follow Apple thought the company might simply name its new laptop “MacBook.” But Neo is what we ended up with, just like the leak a day earlier suggested. The more I think about the name, the more I like it. It’s better than the plain “MacBook.” This is the company that gave us monikers like…

Apple’s MacBook Neo: A Great First Mac, But Not What I Was Hoping For Apple has just introduced the MacBook Neo, a product I'd been genuinely excited about for months, ever since the first rumours started circulating. What we got is a capable new MacBook aimed squarely at first-time buyers. If you've owned an iPhone, maybe an iPad, but never taken the leap to a Mac, this is where Apple wants you to start. The company's own webpage for the MacBook Neo even features a dedicated section on how the Mac and iPhone work better together — a telling sign of who this product is for.

The iPhone 17e MagSafe is back, it should have never been omitted from the 16e. Starts at 256gb but I still think people should pay the extra £200 and go for the iPhone 17. Great ad as well:

Samsung’s Privacy Display Is the Feature Apple Needs to Steal Samsung’s new privacy display feature has been turning heads — and after seeing it in action in MKBHD’s video, it looks amazing. This is genuinely one feature that Apple should totally copy. And I don’t say that lightly. I personally would never put a privacy screen protector on my phone. I wouldn’t put any screen protector on my phone, for that matter.

My Experience with the TourBox Controller: Why It Didn’t Work for Me I bought a TourBox Elite controller a few months ago during the Black Friday sale because I’ve been trying to put more effort into my YouTube channel. The ads and their website do a really good job of selling you on why you might need this tool, and the subreddit is full of people who seem to love this bit of kit.

Everything Ends Up Being a Subscription Apple today introduced Apple Creator Studio, bundling their suite of creative apps into a subscription package that costs $12.99 per month or $129 for a whole year. Stephen Robles has a great YouTube Short giving us the gist of what's included. Of all these apps, Final Cut Pro is what I use almost every week for my YouTube Channel…

Logi Options+ is Trash Tim Hardwick, writing for MacRumors: Logitech users on macOS found themselves locked out of their mouse customizations yesterday after the company let a security certificate expire, breaking both its Logi Options+ and G HUB configuration apps. The Developer ID certificate is the digital signature macOS uses to verify legitimate software. When Logitech allowed its certificate to lapse, the company's apps lost verified authenticity.

The Clicks Power Keyboard and the Communicator Before iPhones had an ultra-wide camera, the only way to get ultra-wide shots was to attach a separate lens to the back of the camera. In 2017, with my iPhone X, I bought an ultra-wide lens from Moment, which I absolutely loved. When I upgraded to the iPhone XS Max, I had to buy another case to use the same lens.

Been playing the Silent Hill 2 remake on PS5 Pro, as someone never played the original and as someone that doesn’t like the whole horror genre this game is great and I am invested.

I should play more horror, the Resident Evil franchise, Callisto Protocol, Dead Space etc

Apple Products Tier List – 2025 It's the new year and before getting into writing about Apple or making videos on it, I thought I'd use BasicAppleGuys Apple Product Tier List and rank what the tech company with the fruit logo has given us. A few explanations for where and why I have put certain products: The iPhone 17 is the best deal you can get on a smartphone.

On Johny Srouji Considering Leaving Apple Mark Gurman is reporting that Johny Srouji was thinking of leaving Apple. When the news of Alan Dye leaving Apple dropped a few days ago, I felt like this was the best thing that had happened to Apple in a while. But Johny Srouji leaving? That would be the exact opposite. I think, unarguably, the coolest thing Apple has done in the last half-decade is the introduction of the M1 chip.

Alan Dye Is Leaving Apple Mark Gurman is reporting that Alan Dye is leaving Apple for Meta. My favourite bit of work that came during Alan Dye's tenure is easily the Dynamic Island. It was nicely done and gets a lot of things right, and moreover it turned what is a physical limitation into a great software feature. Dynamic Island remains his best work and I feel like it stops there.
