Tim Cook in Porsche Taycan Turbo GT Launch Video

Porsche unveiled their new Taycan Turbo GT electric rocket today. Tim Cook made an appearance in the video. Along with Porsche CEO Oliver Blume and Porsche’s custom Apple Vision Pro cockpit race app. If I’m remembering correctly I’m pretty sure Porsche’s CEO had appeared in the WWDC 2023 video as well. Plus it seems like there is more to come with this Apple/Porsche collaboration as hinted by Porsche CEO Blume at the end of the video. It’s also of note that Macs, iPhones and Apple Watches also appeared in the video as well. Porsche has been on board with Apple Tech going back many years. 

Apple Car Cancelled!!!

Well, I for one am disappointed. I would have loved to see how this turned out. Truthfully I think Jony Ive would have had a very unique take on an Apple Car had he not left.

Invincible Iron Man #15 Emma Frost Variant Cover

I’ll just leave this right here. Invincible Iron Man is currently having a great run. Issue # 15 has Mr. James Rhodes getting some sweet revenge. Emma Frost looks stunning in the white/silver armor on the variant cover. I hope the armor she is wearing actually makes it into the issue. On sale 2/28/2024!

Apple Vision Pro Retail Display Update

So I walked into my local Apple West 14th(Chelsea NYC) location today. On the second floor was a walled off construction wall/box with the text “Get ready. Great things are in store. Have a look on 2.2”. Im getting very excited!

Mac 40th

Again I cant get enough of the mac40th.com website by Jonathan Zufi. My first Apple computer was the apple //e. My first Mac was the 512Ke. My favorite Mac is the iMac G4.

Apple Car 2028?

More speculation from Bloomberg on when and if Project Titan will ever materialize into an actual shipping Apple Car. Truthfully I fully believe Apple can make a go of this. Kevin Lynch rumored to be in charge of Project Titan obviously knows how to ship a product. A car on the other hand obviously has significantly more moving parts than an Apple Watch. But if the rumors are correct and they have been actually working on this since around the 2015/16 timeframe, I don’t see why it’s not possible. The more grandiose plans off a fully autonomous self driving car having been scaled back(again this is all complete speculation) into something more akin to a Tesla. It’s not only possible but extremely likely. Seems to me Jony Ive would have had plenty to contribute to this. Who knows maybe he will. Only time will tell.
