Ordering 64GB RAM instead of 32GB is 3 times as expensive 🙈 (I originally didn't get that, but one 16GB slice is essentially 1k, but one of them is already included in the base server price. So getting two slices is 1K extra, getting 3 slices is 3K extra, so that actually makes some sense)
I think they will provide the *users* tools to build their own apps unlike before, intentionally skipping developers.
Because the experience is about the user. Which I guess is kinda good. ...if it wouldn't be based on an unprecedented amount of theft and energy use that goes off the charts.
The way I see Apple and AI going forward is that they will do the exact opposite to pleasing devs. Check where they can skip the developer and rather take the remaining 70% share. They've been annoying as hell, why bother, there are ton's of vibes that are ready to fill in.
