The Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh was released in June 1997 and was a radical departure from anything Apple had released before. My 24" iMac was released in September 2006 and includes much of the design direction introduced by the Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh. I compare the two in this video and discuss the lineage of these two …

Apple released its first Macs based on its own processors only a few weeks ago. Reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, citing supreme performance and battery life as compared with Intel Macs. Performance and compatibility of non-native apps like Slack, Photoshop, Office, and others has been better than expected, running at similar speeds to apps on …
Apple announced plans to transition from Intel CPUs to its own series of CPUs, dubbed Apple Silicon, in June. The transition will occur over the next two years, and Apple announced the first machines today - the MacBook Air, Mac mini, and 13" MacBook Pro. This transition has been a long time coming as Apple's …
I've had my iPhone 12 Pro for a few weeks now so it's time to share my experience. I have a 12 Pro in Pacific Blue with 256 GB storage, which is the middle tier. I'm upgrading from a 256 GB iPhone X. As there are plenty of awesome reviews out there if you want …
I added a new addition to the museum last month: a Mac Pro. I've got a Power Mac G5 which uses the same style case but didn't have the Intel iteration in my collection. I picked up a 2006 model for $150 on eBay. This is the first Mac Pro and the one of the …
My iPhone 12 Pro arrived Friday and I waited all day to open it so I could record my initial impressions. At its core, it isn't much different from my iPhone X save for the camera, so I'll probably post some comparisons later. If you are looking for some detailed reviews, try one of these: …
I've always had a soft spot for iOS 6. It was the last iOS to use Apple's classic skeuomorphic design, the first iOS released after Steve Jobs died. It was released alongside the iPhone 5 in September 2012 and represented the last hurrah of iOS before it was flattened and brightened with iOS 7. iOS …
Apple announced its next generation of iPhones today and they were in line with many of the rumors. There are four iPhone 12 models spread across two tiers and three sizes. All models share a common design and nearly all the same technologies with the two Pro models including a few extra features. Starting with …
I acquired a Snow iMac several years ago when someone found it at a store and picked it up for me. I already had a bunch of iMacs but not one in Apple's Snow color. I find Snow to be rather boring, but it's still an official color and it belongs in my collection. Mine …
I'm really excited for the iPhone 12, which Apple will be announcing next Tuesday 10/13. It's been three years since I bought my iPhone X and I'm ready for the upgrade. This is the first time I've waited this long to buy a new phone. Despite its longer battery life and improved camera features I …
