Talking iPhone Duo, iPhone 18 Pro, and all the new gear with the Basic AF Show

I had a great time with my friends Tom Anderson and Jeff Battersby on Episode 96 of Basic AF: a (mostly) tech podcast, recapping the latest Apple iPhone event, where we finally got eyes on the iPhone Duo, as well as the new iPhone 18 Pro, AirPods 5, and Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4. Give it a listen, especially if you’re on the fence about what to get for the new phone… Tom and I may be struggling a bit too.

Unleashing Apple Silicon

I've finally joined the modern Apple Silicon era!

This is my recently acquired M2 MacBook Air. I chose Space Grey with 16 GB of memory and a 1 TB SSD.

I have been using a MacBook Air since 2019, and it's struggled to keep pace with my needs. The Silicon Air is a different beast than what was on offer during the Intel era, thanks in large part to Apple's system on a chip processors using ARM architecture.

Looking for a new Mac? Start with the M Series Air. I love my M2, and the previous M1 generation is still blazing fast and is often on sale at places like Amazon.

This is the best and most responsive computing experience I've ever had. People told me I'd feel this way, and they were right.
