Welcome to the Tech Meme Right Home from Monday, June 17th, 2024. I'm Brian McCullough today.

Mark Germin says Apple is going to go all in on making the thinnest and lightest devices in the industry,

though the Apple watch is probably going to get a bigger screen.

Here's what you miss today in the world of tech.

Well I guess Tim Apple didn't listen to my rant recently about making devices thicker in order to make their batteries last longer.

This is quoting Mark Germin in his newsletter from this weekend.

Over the past several years, Apple appeared to be shifting away from making devices as

thin and light as possible. The Macbook Pro got thicker to accommodate bigger batteries, more powerful processors, and more ports.

The Apple Watch got a heftier option as well, an ultra model with more features and a longer life.

And the iPhone was fattened up a bit too making room for better cameras than more battery power.

When Apple unveiled the new iPad Pro in May, it marked a return to form.

The company rolled out a super- thin tablet with the same battery life as

prior models, an impressive screen and an M4 chip that made it as powerful as a

desktop computer. In other I'm told that Apple is now focused on developing a significantly skinnier phone in time for the iPhone 17 line in 2025.

It's also working to make the Macbook Pro and Apple Watch thinner. The plan is for the latest

iPad Pro to be the beginning of a new class of Apple devices that should be the

thinnest and lightest products in their categories across the whole tech industry."

On that Apple watch point, what if they do go thinner but also bigger according to minkie quo the

Apple watch series 10 will be thinner but at the same time its screen will grow
