This is my conversational account. For my work follow @ribbonfarm, @breaking_smart, @artofgig. Tweets are 90% vacuous views, apathetically held. Mediocritopian.

    No for core devices (except Watch), but most of the accessories (both apple and non) and all the software are. Exception: the Pencil.https://twitter.com/henry/status/907655905583517696 …

        I'd say the distinction b/w core (OS) and non-core also applies to software. Pairing on the AirPods is great, Apple Music is not.

        Is the Stainless Steel or Edition Apple Watch premium mediocre?

        I think products (both type and token) are premium mediocre.

        More like premium obstructive. Stupid obstacles in your way everywhere and at each step or layer of abstraction.

        Haha true, true. One software exception would be pro apps! At least some…thinking particularly of Logic and FCPX.

        AirPods will be excellent when they can transition devices faster than I can unplug from one and plug into another
