Welcome to our hebdomadary compendium of all the Apple news show you missed this week , in a handy sharpness - sized roundup . We call it Apple Breakfast because we think it goes great with a morning cup of coffee or tea , but it ’s cool if you need to give it a read during lunch or dinner hour too .
The law of surprise
Sometimes you write an article and wince slightly when you post it on the site . “ That ’s a surety to luck , ” you think to yourself . “ That might not age well . ”
So it was with last week’sDifferent suppose newspaper column , in which I sound off that Apple ’s imminent summer event would n’t be “ the jubilation of the Mac that WWDC ought to be . ” The fresh 13 - column inch MacBook Pro would n’t be denote , I lamented in approach , while the MacBook Air would just be a trivial redesign with no sign of theM2 processor .
Reader , hands up : I ( and much of the technical school media bubble , to be fair ) acquire that one wrong . Theredesigned MacBook Airhad the M2 after all , and Apple chucked in anM2 13 - column inch MacBook Profor good measuring rod . Apple faked us out . Or perhaps , given that Apple did n’t assure us anything in advance , we fake ourselves out .
Apple has a report for secrecy , and for springing fully formed intersection onto a bewildered world that did n’t see them come . The realness is more nuanced . The company sure enough prize discretion among its faculty , but a mass of the time it simplycan’t keep a arcanum . ex-serviceman of the tech press will call back that even the first - gen iPhone , a proverbially sensational launching , was the subject of surmisal for eld beforehand . ( I was make for for a PC cartridge clip at the time , and we used to joke about the name . It ’s like an iPod , but it ’s a telephone set , so they ’ll call it aniPhone ? You ’ve catch to be jolly ! Amazing how you get used to thing . )
Whether it ’s down to the leakiness of its straggle Asian supply chain , designer taking prototypes home with them during the pandemic , or just the figure of eager eyeball see its every regulative filing and demesne renewal , Apple ’s secrets just keep getting leaked . There must be 10 products that we know about in advance for every genuine surprise . Professional cynics often argue that technical school fellowship deliberately release leaks to generate hype , but why ascribe to sneakiness what can already be explained by human weakness ?
In fact , for a fellowship as prominent and leak - prostrate as Apple , keeping a product completely private might not be realistic . Success in this context is something low : it ’s expectation management . It ’s persuading the media to under - predict so you may over - render . It ’s drop a shoulder and play a joke on the defense about the direction you ’re manoeuvre .
This brings us back to WWDC , where we fancy again Apple ’s honest sensation : hit customers mad about iterative change . And the way you do that is to convert them first that there wo n’t be any variety at all . If you ’re expecting nothing , anything is a surprisal .
