Summary:
The Apple TV has a new remote. The insides are a little better, but you probably won’t notice a difference
iMac updated to m1. Looks updated- now looks like an enlarged iPad on a stand. It’s colorful, too.
iPads updated. You can get an m1 iPad now. So desktop/laptop/tablet architecture is shared across the spectrum. Performance is generally good. One bit of personal opinion: I keep getting “out of usable memory” issues on an 8gb MacBook Air rubbing relatively “normal” stuff (about 6 safari tabs, the Sonos application, a Symantec VIP token, basically stock startup otherwise). I’ve seen about two complaints online about this. Non-optimized apps are usually to blame. Apple’s solution to the one guy who wrote about his experience was “run fewer tabs or buy a computer with more RAM.” It seems to happen to me when I have left tabs up overnight and one specific EHR app seems to have a memory leak, but I feel it’s important to mention that a concern actually exists with the chips, however small it may be. I have never had a problem running anything with basic closing/restarting of programs, but this is the second non-all-rainbows-and-sunshine report I’ve seen on them (the other being the super-high ssd utilization rate with Chrome with unknown consequences long-term)
You can get a Tile-like device from Apple. Battery lasts a year and is user-replaceable.
Your iPhone can be purple now.

Apple 4K TV will be worthless without "audio pass through". No details yet, but their audio compression is the worst part of their media player (compare with a blu ray- same movie)

iMac looks pretty cool. Will probably get one at work eventually. Weird they don't have black/space gray to start, but I assume that'll come and it's some typical misguided attempt to get people who want a black computer to spend 5x as much on a Pro.

halfway through the event watch. I noticed they are going after two businesses already, Tile for the location tracking and patreon for the podcast subscriptions.

Yeah, there was nothing eventful about it. More of the same..but slightly different.

Anyone know if it's possible or anyone has tested running Docker, containerd or k8s on one? It's arm based so potentially anything with an arm build could run but I don't know all that much about it. Could make for a low power server.
