I don’t know one guy, including myself, who wasn’t in a bar fight. Not a single one.

Please don't call iPhone XR the cheap model at $749. Just two years ago, the top-spec iPhone started at $649.

The iPhone X is capable of changing the depth of field in a photo. If you haven’t tried, give Focos a shot. It basically does the same thing as what Apple demoed for the XS. Here are two example shots from my X. Left is f/5, right is f/1.4. This does not require new hardware.

The question on everyone's minds: Does MacOS fix the Intel #KPTI Issue? Why yes, yes it does. Say hello to the "Double Map" since 10.13.2 -- and with some surprises in 10.13.3 (under Developer NDA so can't talk/show you). cc @i0n1c @s1guza @patrickwardle

There's a barometer in Xcode for Apple's prioritization of platforms. They're not alphabetical, so be on the lookout if they ever change.
