Does anyone remember how thick computers were before the MacBook Air launched nearly 12 years ago? Yes, in 2008, when my laptop was a thick and heavy brick, Apple defied the odds, but the result wasn’t as great as that reaction. To quote one of my favorite movies of all time, “once an idea has taken over the brain, it’s almost impossible to eradicate”.
Apple sold us on a dream. An ultra-portable computer that could be powerful , but then only delivered on the dimensions. At the time, MacWorld called it a story of compromise. As Michael Fisher recalls from his 2013 unit, their reliability was just hard to count on.

While the new normal we’ve been dealing with has made common interaction challenging, we can’t deny how much technology has helped bridge the gap.

Don’t get me wrong, a lot of what was announced was great, then some was expected, and then some was underutilized potential, and some just didn’t happen, so let’s dive in. I’m Jaime Rivera with Pocketnow and let’s dive into our Apple Spring Loaded Event recap..
I don’t even know how to say this politely, so I’ll just start from the beginning. Apple’s AirPods Max is the most frustrating piece of hardware that I’ve ever wanted to almost love… There, I got it off my chest.
Let me explain: I travel a lot, 150,000 miles a year kind of a lot. It’s been the story of my life since I was 3, and for the past 20 years, it’s a sort of requirement I’ve set before taking any job. I’ve always been kind of like that George Clooney character in Up In The Air, where I only buy toiletries in small packages, I spend insane amounts of money on specific kinds of luggage just because they’re easier to drag, and I use Peak Design bags and tripods almost exclusively because of the amount of thought that’s put into making them compact.
