I guess Steve did his job. He let Tim Cook and now it’s John’s Tern.

Apple FINALLY launches a touchscreen MacBook Pro… 🤯 And everyone’s losing their minds over the GLOWING APPLE LOGO! 😂🍎 Forget the touchscreen. THIS is what we wanted back!

Steve Jobs said touchscreen Macs were a TERRIBLE idea. 16 years later, Apple just launched one. 🤯 But here’s the twist: Apple may have actually proved Jobs RIGHT. Was Steve Jobs ahead of his time, or has Apple finally admitted he was wrong? 👀

The glowing logo with the space black MacBook Pro is going to look dope 
Replying to @imPatrickT
Quick thoughts on the new OLED MacBook Pro. - The Apple logo glow is really nice in person and it’s great to see it back. - Touch seems fun but it remains to be seen how the software reacts. - A full matte black option would have been killer - The screen is *beautiful*

I’m finding myself using the Z Fold8 way more than the iPhone Duo for YouTube 👀 You can see why…

Different government. Same excuses. Higher taxes, rising bills, crumbling services, and ordinary Brits left picking up the tab. At what point do we admit it’s not just one party failing Britain… it’s the entire bloody political system? 🇬🇧 #Budget2026

3 DAYS of battery life on a smartphone?! 🤯🔋 The HONOR X9e Pro is making me question why we’re still charging our phones every single night. But is there a catch? 👀 Watch my full video before you decide 👇 youtu.be/NGVT22QonbQ?si=2zx0…

Daymmm is that you @elonmusk
Whenever I feel demotivated i rewatch this... Elon Musk in a living room in 2008, 12 days from bankruptcy, pitching a $109,000 car to people...

Wait is it the United Kingdom or the Soviet Union?! 🤦‍♂️
I read a piece in the FT this week about the price of being middle class in Britain now and it said a couple earning £436,000 combined take home £216,000. That’s a crazy amount of tax, and it doesn't include VAT on purchases, council tax, stamp duty or other taxes (I think does include pension contributions). I can’t stop thinking about it.

Every now and then, you see something online that stops you dead in your tracks. And suddenly, all the noise, the deadlines, the hustle, the things you’ve been stressing about… none of it feels that important anymore. Life is fragile. Time is precious.
Some walk with you for a while… Others stay in your sky forever…

I think we’re about to see one of the biggest reality checks in tech history. And AI is right at the centre of it. I’ve spent years working closely with some of the biggest names in consumer technology, covering product launches, seeing innovations before they reach consumers and watching entire industries change. And while I’m more excited about AI than ever, I’m also increasingly concerned about where this is heading. Here are 7 predictions I have for the next 6–12 months. 1. The AI gold rush is going to have some VERY expensive casualties. Right now, everyone’s spending billions. Chips, data centres, infrastructure, models. The numbers are insane. But here’s the question nobody seems to have a convincing answer to. Who’s actually making sustainable money? We’re seeing investment at a scale that assumes almost everything will work out. It won’t. I expect some huge corrections, failed businesses and a serious wake-up call for investors. 2. Electricity could become AI’s biggest problem. We’re so focused on what AI can do that we’re overlooking what it takes to actually run it. Power. And LOTS of it. The infrastructure required to support this growth is putting enormous pressure on electricity grids. And guess who could eventually pay for that? Everyday consumers. The next big AI breakthrough might not be a smarter model. It might be figuring out how to power everything affordably. 3. The AI subscriptions we’re enjoying today won’t stay this cheap forever. Think about it. We’re paying relatively little each month to access technology that costs extraordinary amounts to build and operate. That gap is being supported by investors and companies willing to spend heavily to win market share. But at some point, economics catches up. And when AI companies start prioritising profitability over growth, I expect pricing, usage limits and subscriptions to change significantly. That’s when we’ll discover how much people REALLY value these tools. 4. AI security is the next massive headline waiting to happen. We’re giving AI access to everything. Emails. Documents. Personal information. Business systems. Even financial accounts. And we’re doing it faster than most people understand the risks. I think a major AI-related security incident could completely change public confidence in these tools. Convenience is great. Until the consequences become very real. 5. Today’s most powerful AI technology could become tomorrow’s expensive problem. This is something I find fascinating. Companies are spending billions building infrastructure around technology that’s evolving at an incredible pace. A chip that’s cutting edge today could be significantly less competitive much sooner than expected. A model that leads the market this month could be overtaken next month. Imagine making a multibillion-dollar investment in infrastructure only to realise the economics have completely changed before you’ve recovered the cost. That’s a very real challenge. 6. We’re going to see a major divide between AI hype and actual usefulness. This is probably the one I’m most confident about. Having spent years reviewing consumer technology, I’ve seen this cycle before. A new technology arrives. Everyone rushes to include it. Every company starts using the same buzzwords. But eventually, consumers stop caring about the technology itself. They care about what it actually DOES for them. The companies that survive won’t necessarily be those with the biggest AI announcements. They’ll be the ones making everyday life genuinely better. 7. The biggest winners from AI might not be the companies everyone is betting on today. I think we’re entering a period where being first, being loudest or spending the most doesn’t guarantee success. Execution matters. Distribution matters. Profitability matters. And sometimes the biggest opportunities appear AFTER the initial excitement has cooled down. That’s when the businesses with real value, sustainable economics and a clear purpose start standing out. One final thought. I’m not against AI. Quite the opposite. I genuinely believe it’s one of the most important technological shifts we’ll experience in our lifetime. But there’s a massive difference between believing in a technology and believing every company building around it will succeed. AI isn’t the bubble. The expectations around AI might be. Curious to hear your thoughts. Am I being too pessimistic, or are we heading towards a major correction? This isn’t investment advice.

Wow I didn’t realise it was like this inside the iPhone Duo Folio case 😮
BRO 😭💀 The internals of the iPhone Duo Folio Case look better than the internals of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 itself.
