Today’s newsletter: the Mac is getting more like the iPad. But also less like the iPad. But also has a UI that looks like the iPad’s. But also the iPad is the spiritual successor to the original Mac’s elegant GUI. It’s complicated. https://t.co/hQtJR1Moee https://t.co/UOL9Mn354M — PolitiTweet.org

The first of several pieces (and at least one video) looking at the implications of Apple’s WWDC news is coming in tomorrow morning’s newsletter. Will try to make some sense of ARM, iOS apps, Catalyst, & Big Sur’s design. Wish me luck! Also, subscribe: https://t.co/cIK2haAnkx — PolitiTweet.org
