| An impressive seamless loop that's only 10 seconds long

| Sand is made of silicon.

| Apple Silicon.

| M3 announcement!

|
| I wonder how many others are thinking the same.

| Is that a lot? I'm still using an iPhone 11 and honestly don't
| see a reason to upgrade. My friends who use iPhones are rocking
| the old ones that are round at the sides. Yet on public
| transport etc I see iPhone 14's everywhere. Buying a new phone
| every year or every other year is cringe imo.

| The in person events was due to steve jobs and was only kept

| Without him it's just another corporate event, so the videos
| are fine, and probably better.
