Bob Cringely Has Died

I heard from a friend of the family that Bob passed away in his sleep early Saturday. Very sad news. Bob, who's real name was Mark Stevens, was an early employee of Apple and was best known for his PBS documentaries, especially "Triumph of the Nerds". He will be missed.

Rumor: Apple considered 16GB iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone Duo

Prolific leaker Instant Digital has made a vague posting about how Apple considered a 16GB A20 Pro chip for iPhone 18 Pro. The timetable of the consideration isn't clear, given that it takes between two and three years to move an Apple Silicon chip from concept to production.It would have been nice.
