Tim Apple is no Jobs.  Joke from 25 years ago:

What's the difference between Microsoft and Apple?

Some people actually like the megalomaniacal asshole who runs Apple.

Apple accidentally leaked its own top secret hardware in software code, revealing new products across seven categories.

Every Apple Secret That Leaked Wednesday.

Second generation Apple Vision Pro, which will continue to be less stupid looking than Zucc Glasses.

Via Flickr, two fun bits of history:

Edit: Anyone know what is that rectangular thing to the left of the Lisa?   Behind the "bar of soap" mouse.  I think it might be a software box.

It might be a binder of Apple printed documentation for the Lisa.

^^Yup.

That's wild, as it uses a white Apple logo some 15 years before it became the company standard.

I forgot about the Apple event today, but the camera changes, including combined cameras and square front facing sensor, are interesting moves. Also liquid cooling. Plus if you thought iPhones were too fat...

Nothing looked bad... the iPhone Air looks questionable, but I can foresee influencers showing them off in a few weeks.

Apple has moved into making their own wireless network and modem chips, the N1 for Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread and the C1X for 5G cellular.

I liked the sound of better battery life in the iPhone 17 and the AirPods Pro 3 will be hot sellers. I found the endless health surveillance and monitoring from the Apple Watches a bit dystopian.

The iPhone 16e seems to be a sales success due to its low price, so they'll inevitably release an update to that in a while.
