 Does iPhone season come every Autumn? You bet it does! Apple took the iPhone X to the Max today announcing the iPhone XS, the iPhone XS Max, and the iPhone XR. The XR will bring edge to edge screen to users at a value price using LCD technology. Meanwhile the OLED display on the Max (and its battery) are the biggest Apple has ever shipped. You need to watch the intro video just to see the new depth of filed adjustments that can be made AFTER the photo has been taken! The other improvements are too numerous to mention.

 At Precursor, we always have something on the go in our "Muppet Labs". Sometimes it is a resounding success like our implementation of Managed Software Center. And sometimes they are "close but no cigar". One labour of love that might fit the latter description is our work on a pet project called "Tools of the Trade" -- something that only another Apple Consultant could love. But before we retired the project altogether we made a set of videos to describe just what it does. Caveat: video production standards are shocking low; lighting is pretty pathetic; and no, those are not earings I am wearing, they are my Apple AirPods used in this case as the microphone.
