Apple's slow move toward a fitness band makes us wonder if the company has lost its ability to execute quickly. Also, it's time for a MacBook Neo check-in, and Myke questions Jason's Apple Watch use. Upgrade+: Charting a new course at Six Colors.

Published a couple of podcasts today that I wanted to share with you all. First up, if you haven’t been listening to this series of Designed in California, you’ve been missing out. We’re following the story of Apple’s Mac OS disaster in the ’90s, which requires

The new products are here! Jason reviews the M6 Mac mini, and then Jason and Myke both talk about their hands-on experiences with the iPhone 18 Pro and Apple Watch series 12. This is just the beginning of a busy season! Upgrade+: Together soon!

For the past few days, I’ve been testing the (currently) top-of-the-line M5 Ultra Mac Studio with 256 GB of RAM. I’ll cut to the chase: the M5 Ultra Mac Studio is a dream machine for local AI agents. ...

2024’s M4 Mac mini was a revelation. It packed Apple silicon power into a shockingly compact space, breathing new life into Apple’s all-time utility Mac and (eventually) making it into a go-to device for home AI and even back-end podcast transcription.

The 27 OS releases have dropped. Jason has a review of macOS Golden Gate and Myke acts as the ambassador for Siri AI. And we've also got more reactions to just what makes the iPhone Duo so interesting. Upgrade+: Myke watched Disney+/Hulu's "Paradise."

Last year’s macOS release, macOS 26 Tahoe, was a mixed bag. While it added a bunch of solid new productivity features, it also included a half-baked visual update that muddied the entire interface. While I chose to view the glass as half full and accepted the interface imperfections, I understand that a lot of people just gave Tahoe a pass rather than inflict a visual regression on themselves. No matter how full you think the (liquid) glass was, I have good news: macOS 27 Golden Gate is here, and it’s good. Not only has Apple addressed most of the visual problems […]

Today is September 1, 2026 — the day that John Ternus becomes CEO of Apple. As you would assume, Apple has now updated its executives page with Ternus as CEO, along with a refreshed profile for him. I wanted to note three narratives that I spotted in this profile that I
