Apple is growing ever closer to its reported ambition to design the iPhone as a single slab of glass, but a new patent application suggests as least some designers in the company share the same ambition for the iMac. One funky variant even shows how it could allow the MacBook Pro to dock with the iMac, a design that could potentially work for a future Apple display too… The patent, first spotted by PatentlyApple, describes an iMac design comprising ‘a continuous curved surface....

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has raised privacy concerns about developer access to the facial expressions of iPhone X users. In particular, they say that Apple allows developers to capture facial expression data and store it on their own servers. When the iPhone X was launched, Apple was careful to stress that the 3D face recognition model used by Face ID was stored only on the phone itself. The data is never transferred to Apple servers....

When Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1997, it wasn’t long before he decided that transforming the retail experience was key to the company’s future growth. He almost immediately started cutting the Mac authorized retailer network, eliminating those stores he felt weren’t delivering the right kind of purchasing experience, and in 1999 began work on the Apple Store project. The first store opened two years later in 2001. But Apple came very close to launching a different kind of store back in 1997: Apple Cafes....

Messaging is a core part of any smartphone, and it’s something that Apple has really nailed with the iPhone and iMessage. Googlers have voiced their frustration recently over how Apple uses iMessage as a tool for lock-in and while Apple’s resistance to RCS and other cross-platform standards is certainly annoying, the context of Google’s countless failures in messaging don’t really help the company’s case. What’s so great about iMessage? Apple launched iMessage in 2011 alongside the debut of iOS 5....

Is it the money? Is it the people you work with? The product you’re involved in? The deft management you’re graced with? I was moved to this very modern contemplation on hearing the views of Seth Patton, general manager of Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Viva. Writing in the Harvard Business Review with Brad Anderson, president of products and services at Quatrics, Patton mused on the state of work today. The delicate state of hybrid work that is....

As a caller once told Kim, “My daughter turned 21 and we threw a big birthday party at our house with about 20 people. My husband, son and I each took pictures on our phones and the problem with that is unless we pass our phones around to each other, we don’t get to see all the great pictures that were taken.” Whether you want to share new photos or reflect on some good times, here’s a great way to do it....

With the first Space Jam film now considered a cult classic and a reboot in the making, it’s hard to imagine that universe without basketball as its core - but it almost happened, with skateboarding and Tony Hawk as leads. Back in 1996, Warner Bros. mixed two elements that don’t seem to have much in common: the Looney Tunes and Michael Jordan, resulting in the highest-grossing basketball film of all-time....

I am in the midst of training for a marathon in late October, so I’ve been inching my runs up ever so slightly. Last weekend, I did a nine-mile run. While you are reading this, I am probably in the middle of a ten-mile run. I plan to keep inching my weekend long runs up ever so slightly until I hit eighteen or so. Since I’ve been in training mode, I am realizing some of the edge cases where Activity Rings fall apart for people who train frequently....
