The narrative Safari is behind and Apple doesn’t care about the web is so tired… This 8,000+ word article on Safari 18.4 (released today, BTW) doesn’t read like an organization that doesn’t care about the web [1]. [1]: https://we

I was surprised to see the Framework 13 didn't support wide gamut (Display P3) color, compared to the less expensive entry level MacBook Air.

Probably because APFS runs on everything from the Apple Watch to the Mac Pro and everything in between. You probably don’t want your phone or watch de-duping stuff. There are tons of knobs you can tweak in macOS but Apple has always been pr
