Interesting event last night. I have to say I prefer the new format without the wooping audience in the theatre, and its very slick looking (if at times predictably cheesy).
Nothing revolutionary announced but a decent refresh on the ipad/ipad air, and Apple watch 6 and new Apple watch SE. I may end up getting the SE after holding out on joining the smart watch brigade until now.
Apple Events
Introducing Apple Intelligence in iOS 18, iPadOS 18 and macOS Sequoia, better health insights in watchOS 11, and a more immersive visionOS 2.www.apple.com
The watch SE surprised me, If I didn't already have the series 4 it would have tempted me. Problem now is, that now I have things like ECG, in the future do I want a model that doesn't do it. Regardless of how little I use that particular feature, as, it could be useful.
Oooh, widgets, but I won't be diving right in.
I look cool as fuck in my airpods I'll have you know. Even cooler because they are the pros and I get to look down on those with just normal ones.

You live in Birmingham and think you look good in lycra, which invalidates any opinion you may have on style issues.

Paired with an Apple watch yeah? Just to let everyone know how down with tech you are...

It’s almost like those people who drive Audis isn’t it?

Audi drivers are not tech savvy, but they are far superior to non-Audi drivers, that's just a known fact.

All aboard the 303 bus.
I keep eyeing up the new iPad. Broaching the subject with my other half she was reluctant for me to get one as I’d trade in an iPad she gave gave me from her old job to do so (she also got an iPad herself from her old job), but said she was ok if I got her an Apple Pencil to use on my iPad.
£84 fucking quid for a fake pencil.

Long article but a great read and was really good to see how Apple deal with reported security vulnerabilities. Nearly all fixed within 1-2 days, some 4 hours and paying out without issue in their bug bounty program. Which seems a great incentive to get hackers to just report the issue and get a nice payout for doing so rather than taking advantage of it.

Those long rumoured airpods studio, and air tags seemed conspicuously missing from the 'one more thing' event the other day.
I did like the look of the new macbook air though. My 2013 model is still holding out strong but it gets decidedly sluggish from time to time if doing anything slightly intensive.

Anyone updated to Big Sur yet?

Yeah, early 2016 Macbook, upgraded last night. Same as the Catalina upgrade, it didn’t complete cleanly; sat with progress bar at about 95% for several hours while I left it. In the end I powered it off and on and it started up fine.
All fine so far, control center on the menu bar is handy, notifications are counter-intuitively accessed by clicking on the time/date on the menu bar.
Mail client has changed - icons etc are in slightly different places and font size seems different.
It does seem to wake from sleep/screensaver quicker and the new dynamic Big Sur wallpaper is lovely.

Cheers Lazy Llama. Have you re-backed up with Time Machine to take advantage of the supposed increased speed?

Not yet. I’ll leave it a while as I don’t have another backup disk hanging around so would prefer to keep options open.

Oh god it looks horrible. I don't want my Mac to look like a flipping iPhone.
I thought I just accidentally installed it, but I think I just did some updates to the last OS, as I am only now seeing it wants to install big sur and some safari update.

I reformatted a backup disc to APFS and ran a new time machine backup 380GBs took about an hour and a half (external USB3 drive), that's very fast. Normal hourly/daily backups are faster than old backups but not by as much as first big backup.
I've been using Big Sur for several beta releases and like it much better than Catalina.

Ta. Might have to think about doing the same.

I'm on it now as well. Seems fine, and there are some functional improvements re: menu bar widgets, haven't really noticed much else yet.
I was wondering why Safari was behaving like arse beforehand, then I realised that there was a new OS release on the way and Safari is always fucked just before a new release.

Now they're out I've seen reviews saying these have sound almost as good as the full-size HomePod, and if that's true they're a complete steal if you use Apple Music.HomePod Mini:
