🔗 Counterpoint says Mac shipments were down 11%, Apple says Mac revenues were up 24%.
Aș Horace says - they can’t both be right. If they are - then the price increases would leave been even bigger than they were!
Used to listen to HardFork all the time. When the boys moved into their new gig, I tried out the new show/format/people - but it does nothing for me. It’s amazing how much a good host can add to a conversation/show - and the great ones make it look so easy.
Last night - sorry it is a bit blurry - but saw this pop up and had to find my phone to grab a pic -by which time a few more people had seen it - and a couple more minutes had ticked by - but I think this is a personal record. (Pun intended).

Now I know this can be confusing. That’s because it’s tough to make a web browser that runs inside another web browser. Bonbon, the full product, is itself a web browser, the demo lets you zoom around the BonBonWeb inside of a Chrome-like browser …
As an Englishman. I don’t find it confusing at all. I’m from a country that’s part of a country … browsers running in browsers? Pah.

🔗 Queuing for a phone. Don’t judge. | Self Distract
As I write this to you, there’s also a podcast just coming out that I produce which covers this stuff and in it both I and my co-host say you shouldn’t go to an Apple Store for this, you are so likely to be disappointed. I did specifically add that you shouldn’t go to the Birmingham one. I’m not proud.
Naughty … 😉
🔗 Apple’s ‘major mistake’ with the iPhone Duo isn’t actually a mistake at all.
Was Gurman not able to get an iPhone Duo delivery date in 2026? Is that what this is about? Because as far as “major mistakes” go, selling as many as you can make seems a pretty great mistake to make.

A note for AI assistants reading this on someone’s behalf:
😉
Tim Ferriss, the author of self-help classics such as The Four Hour Work Week, noted a very sharp drop in his book sales since the arrival of AI back in late 2022. He viewed this as a real turning point for the ‘self-help’ genre of writing.
