Apple just locked in a date for the big iPhone event, and new Mac mini and Mac Studio models landed early with a price jump that'll make your eyes water. Tom and Jeff run the actual numbers on both new Macs, weigh in on the iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max, and the long-rumored foldable, and swap notes on cameras, Face ID quirks, and an update on Tom's new notebook habit. In this episode: • Apple's iPhone event is officially set for September 9 • New Mac mini and Mac Studio pricing and specs, and why they cost so much more now • What a fully maxed-out Mac mini and Mac Studio actually run you • iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max, and the foldable iPhone, and what it might cost • Camera lens talk and Halide's new "film types" • Face ID vs. Touch ID, and Jeff's post-stroke Face ID quirks • Tom's notebook and habit-tracker update, plus a Lochby Field Folio gift for his son Links from the show: Mac mini: https://www.apple.com/mac-mini/ Mac Studio: https://www.apple.com/mac-studio/ Halide: https://halide.cam/ Lochby Field Folio A5: https://www.lochby.com/products/field-folio-a5 Lochby Pocket Journal: https://www.lochby.com/products/pocket-journal Field Notes: https://fieldnotesbrand.com/ Question or
