I’ll probably write more about this at some point, but my thought coming away from Chris's (and Matt’s) article here is “Mac does Mac things. iPad does iPad things. iPhone does iPhone things. Stop forcing them to overlap.”
Any time someone points at any of the most revered Apple tech writers and says they drink the Kool-aid, make sure to point them at this article. Stage Manager is half-baked at best and a disaster at worst, and Mr. Viticci says as much. “My recommendation is to not use it for production work or other critical tasks on your iPad.” Strong words.
Great question from Lee Peterson. I largely fall in the same camp as Lee — there are few situations where I need more than 128GB of storage. Photos are in iCloud or Lightroom. Videos in iCloud.

We’ve long known Star Wars took special effects to new heights. But the actual mechanics of it? Actually seeing the problems solved each time a new problem arose? This new series from Disney+ is absolutely awesome. I love Dykstra’s comment about the Star Destroyer being entirely in focus for the opening shot from A New Hope.
“That's where I think The Browser Company is going with their new Arc browser. It's more of an OS Layer, becoming such a familiar and integral part of the user's workflow that it feels like an extension of the operating system itself and less like another app you have to run.”
