A historic year for Apple Watch?

February 28, 2022

After a weekend of doomscrolling for details about the war in Ukraine, I was hoping for some really good Apple news today.

And maybe that's what this is. According to Bloomberg, "this year will be the biggest in the history of the Apple Watch since the original model."

We might get three new Apple Watch models this year -- including one "geared toward extreme sports." Plus, faster chips will offer a performance boost. And software will bring "major updates to activity tracking."

There's no mention of the kind of radical redesign we expected last year, but hey ... I'll take it.

This year will be “the biggest in the history of Apple Watch since the original model,” according to a new report.

Apple looks set to introduce new color options for its official iPhone 13 cases in the coming weeks. A leaked photo reveals an alleged “spring collection” for the Silicone Case with MagSafe.

Apple filed a patent application for a desktop computer that’s also a keyboard. If that seems familiar, it’s the design used by some of the first personal computers back in the 1900s.

Go to a Sam’s Club, and the only thing more memorable than the deals on Apple devices are the smells of the delicious deli and bakery treats that tempt you as you walk in the door. Now you can make the dream come true with a Sam’s Club membership for only $19.99, complete with a free rotisserie chicken, cupcakes and a $10 Sam’s Club e-gift card.

This week on Cult of Mac’s podcast: As Apple’s rumored spring event approaches, all signs point toward new Macs. Lots and lots of new Macs.

The limited series is being written by Kirk Ellis, who wrote HBO’s John Adams, which was showered with awards.

With the right charger, your iPhone 12 or 13 can top up pretty fast. But can it charge to 50% capacity in 15 minutes, wirelessly? Nope.

Is it reasonable to call a computer setup “budget-friendly” if it includes a new 16-inch M1 MacBook Pro? Well, is there such a thing as a Lamborghini economy car? How about a thrift-store Faberge egg? Or maybe a bargain-basement super yacht?

One more thing ...

"If you look at things I've done in my life, they have an element of democratizing. The web is an incredible democratizer. A small company can look as large as a big company and be as accessible as a big company on the web. Big companies spend hundreds of millions of dollars building their distribution channels. And the web is going to completely neutralize that advantage." — Steve Jobs on the web as the great democratizer
