Good things really do come in small packages. After two months with the iPhone 13 mini, going back to a larger iPhone is hard to imagine. The improved battery life over the 12 mini was the tipping point, and the tradeoffs — smaller screen, no telephoto lens — turned out to be non-issues. The compact form factor actually improved daily life in unexpected ways: easier one-handed use, more photos taken, and less mindless scrolling. Same great phone, smaller package.
Apple's new MacBook Pros are the most compelling in the line's history — ProMotion displays, 20+ hour battery life, MagSafe, and a generational leap in performance thanks to Apple Silicon. Yes, next year's M2 chips will likely be faster, but that's always been true. The M1 Pro and Max are already so capable that they'll feel fast by any standard for years to come. If you need a new Mac and have the budget, there's no good reason to wait.
