The original concept was for these AR Glasses, codenamed N107, to pair with an iPhone, but Apple shifted to the Mac over battery life and processing power concerns. Apple is still working on underlying technology for standalone glasses — coming one day.

Why it worked

Leads with a specific number, which is concrete enough to be worth a second of attention.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

Tone: plain, matter-of-fact
Written for: Founders, marketers and operators

For 50 yrs we treated the supremacy of asset-light businesses as a permanent economic law But if AI commoditizes asset-light businesses, we’d just be reverting to the historical mean where value accrued to atoms, infrastructure, energy It would be a 50 year blip. An anomaly

Sundar Pichai is charging $13.99 a month for YouTube Premium from US users, while in India its price is ₹149/month, which is just about $1.6 a month Truely an Indian.

holy shit, DeepSeek is able to get 73.7k tokens/s input and 14.8k tokens/s output throughput per H800 node! Their profit margin is 545%, while OpenAI is bleeding money despite charging so much?? that's how awesome their inference stack is.

I just imposed a series of tariffs on goods made in China: 25% on steel and aluminum, 50% on semiconductors, 100% on EVs, And 50% on solar panels. China is determined to dominate these industries. I'm determined to ensure America leads the world in them.

How dare the peasants complain about data centers stealing their water and driving the cost of electricity!! How dare the peasants complain AI will replace their jobs!! The peasants are dangerous extremists if they don’t shut up and comply!!

wow so far DMs in a shockingly even dead heat between "you made a software engineer and didn't include unlimited use in the $20 plan? fuck you!" and "you made a software engineer and you're not charging $20k a month for it? what the fuck?"

A more aspirational version championed by Apple’s design team used even more glass, instead of metal, but was scrapped early on. The company encountered problems connecting glass panels together. The design didn’t hold up when Apple had to figure out how to mass-produce it.

In September, Apple is poised to debut its first foldable iPhone, a device that’s expected to cost $2,000-plus. A monthly price of somewhere between $60 and $70 for that phone will seem a lot more palatable.

Also in Power On: Major shortages hit the MacBook Air amid the memory and silicon crunch, with many new orders now not arriving until September. Apple appears to be prioritizing sales now of the entry level MacBook Pro. t.co

Looking ahead, there is ongoing work on a bigger rethink to the Apple Watch, but I wouldn’t expect that to arrive for another year or two. And Apple is still moving toward getting a blood-sugar feature to the market this decade, making good on a project conceived in the Jobs era.

Apple is also planning M5 Pro + M6 Mac mini and M5 Max + M5 Ultra Mac Studio, but their configurations and release timing are fairly tied to the memory shortage. Current models don’t ship for three months.
