I think Tim Apple was more hyped about having song lyrics on screen than he really should be

They’ve finally made Apple Watch something I’d consider. It’s more stand alone now then just a phone extension

The Mac Pro with full everything is insane. Unfortunately all I can think of is mac cheese grater :see_no_evil:

It’s clearly not designed for mere mortals

How much does the fully customised version cost with full everything? Might see if I can persuade my boss I really need one :joy:

Interesting concept that developers will soon be able to develop an app across iOS, iPadOS and MacOS at the same time. Would be interesting to hear Freetrade’s input on that. Would be cool to have Freetrade on Mac and iPad.

Also I feel like Apple are going after Facebook’s lunch one step at a time.

Aside from the insanely priced Mac Pro stand, I reckon Sign in with Apple could be big for them in future. From a privacy point of view, it seems a pretty clever move:

Looks like Freetrade works in iOS 13 :+1: . It did force me to log in again though.

But the stand is a proper piece of engineering. Give it a week and there’ll be a £50 version on eBay :grin:

Sign in with Apple and the virtual card style email addresses seem like great features.

Sign in with Apple is very nice. Although it does make it a lot harder to switch away from Apple, since you end up with lots of random email addresses for your logins.

When it comes to the business side of things, the improvements to AR Kit got me wondering when Apple will consider AR good enough to release Apple Glasses. I know I’d buy them :smile:

Really liked the sign in with Apple and also looking forward to this:

Sorta the point :joy: and I know for one their existing features mean I won’t be switching anytime soon… even though I would really love a google pixel :heart:
