Mockup of what a dark blue Apple Vision Pro 2 could look like
As Google looks like it may have to split off its advertising business, Apple is expanding its own version, and there are rumors of the next Apple Vision Pro — plus a lament for last Intel Mac mini.
Just as this edition was being recorded, a US Distrcit Judge ruled that Google was effectively an unlawful monopoly — and that ruling makes it more likely that the company will have to sell off its advertising business. While that’s going on, Apple has rebranded its own advertising division in what looks like a continued expansion of just where and what Apple will advertise.
Back in 2018, Apple advertising include an startlingly over the top video to launch the 2018 Mac mini — and this week, that same model officially became vintage. It’s only a step away from being obsolete and so no longer able to be repaired or serviced, but the real significance is that this is the last-ever Intel Mac mini. It will be missed — if not by absolutely everybody.
But looking to the near future, there are more probably overblown rumors about the forthcoming iPadOS 19. And amongst all the serious discussions about the next Apple Vision Pro, there’s now an important rumor about what color it will be.
