Currently at 40,000 feet and the AirPods Pro 3 have better noice cancellation than the AirPods Pro Max. Not even close. No wonder Apple hasn't refreshed Max. They have to catch up.

I wonder if I could create an iOS 26 app that uses Apple's on-device LLM models to screen incoming text messages and then filter them for political or other spam. Should be doable, no?

At some point the planes were going to need parts and new planes https://onemileatatime.com/news/russia-buy-boeing-planes-frozen-assets/ Perhaps one of the greatest points of leverage, for now, are making airplanes. It's not easy.

I just started using Spotify after a few years of just Apple Music. It's incredible how you can transition from Sonos, to phone, to car and it's totally seamless. Your current playlist just continues automatically. I'm surprised Apple doesn't do that.
