  • I could be wrong, but as I recall, the only requirement is that you need to be running at least 10.15 Catalina to be able to back up an iphone via the finder on a Mac, or you need the Apple devices app if you’re running Windows.

    I don’t believe you need MacOS 26 to backup iOS 26. That would screw over a lot of people with older hardware or people that didn’t have Macs.

    It’s the Plymouth Prowler of phones.

    Not the best performance or the most practical, but the bet is that a group of people will gravitate to the design. Also, it will look good in a store window and the learnings from it can inspire other more popular future products.

    And remember, the MacBook Air and iMac launched this way originally. The first versions were not super practical when compared to their sibling products. Eventually, as technology progressed, the form factor became easier to fill with practical hardware.







  • I’m at California’s biggest not for profit HMO, which is generally pretty good at covering stuff like this. They are still “reviewing” the FDA guidelines.

    They’re probably stuck between a rock and a hard place. Fewer vaccinated people means sicker patients, and those costs get passed along to everyone else in the coverage pool. So higher rates.

    But if you do give shots outside of recommended guidelines, you can sued by people who want to blame something on off label use.
