My favorite Apple updates are not the flashy new features, but the quiet little touches: annoyances fixed, workflows made smoother, rough edges sanded down, and longstanding flaws thoughtfully reworked. To me, they’re the clearest sign of a company that cares about its craft.

That’s a lot of bullet points.

If you can make it in person, you should come. The California Theater is a beautiful big theater and tickets are still available.

It’s a fun, truly immersive way to experience the show.

Hope to see you there tonight, one way or the other.

Apple: In macOS 27.0, menu bar and context menus present a reduced set of menu item images, similar to the behavior prior to macOS […]
