After 40 years, the Mac line is as strong and successful as ever — does it have another four decades to go? And in 2064, will we be talking about the Vision Pro launch the same way we talk about the Macintosh?

Over on X, Steve Moser posted that he noticed Safari on Vision Pro doesn’t have the “Add to Home Screen” option, which suggests that you can’t use Progressive Web Apps on the Vision Pro. This is in a simulator, it’s beta software, nobody really knows anything about how the final products will work! But given how much Apple needs great web apps for the Vision Pro to be a hit, it’s definitely a slightly worrying sign.

Big gadget week! The Vision Pro is up for pre-order (are you getting one?), so we talked about everyone’s experience so far and all the things we still don’t know. Then we dig into Samsung’s new S24 lineup, the latest on the Apple Watch ban, and what it means to make a slow-mo video when there’s no slow-mo video to make it from.

Andy Baio has a great retrospective on Ello (remember Ello!?), which digs into all the ways the company’s values collided with its business ambitions — and just the realities of being a company. Even trying to do something the right way still costs money, and money never comes cheap.
