Do you have a second to talk about negative space? It will be quick, I promise. It’s effectively that blank area between objects in a work of art. As the name implies, it’s defined by an absence, but implemented effectively, the negative space may, itself, become an object. You probably know where I’m going with […] Apple leans into the void with the iPhone 14 Pro by Brian Heater originally published on TechCrunch... →

The first AirPods Pro were a revelation.

New features like a temperature sensor and crash detection are clever, but let’s be honest, we’re all going to walk away from today’s big event talking about the Apple Watch Ultra. Love it, hate it, even feel generally indifferent toward it, the product stole the show […] Up close with the Apple Watch Ultra by Brian Heater originally published on TechCrunch... →
