There's no reason why iPhone couldn't drive macOS on an external display. Same goes for iPad.
"Can," "should," and "would" are all very different words. It's possible, and Apple probably should give users some options, even if it's just iPadOS on a display. But will they?
Probably not.
I wonder if CloudXR can give us a big game library that's fun to play on Apple Vision Pro. Though I'm highly skeptical about how well this will work streamed.
The blog is on pause during moving week, but I'm still writing stuff like this at AppleInsider. Marble does make an appearance.
The Apple Journal Insights page showing a 555 day streak, 124 week streak, 70 days journaled in 2026, 1.9k days total journaled, restaurant visits 156 times, and 212k words written.
Still going strong
Color me skeptical. Look at what iPhone 17 CADs looked like. I'm aware it could be a different view or layer, but it's odd too that this just looks like the render file that made the December renders and 3D printer files.

While inventors haven't quite given us a "Star Trek" replicator, 3D printers are the next best thing. After success with titanium printing, Apple will tackle the challenges of 3d printing with aluminum to make products like the iPhone.
Idk how many blogs talk about Pokopia and MacBook Neo in the same place, but there's at least one.

Yeah I saw a few people say as much about the sports app.
Apple Music is broadcasting the announcer audio of the F1 race on Apple Music One radio. That's pretty smart, but really, why not just have an F1 station?

@appleinsider.com doesn't use gen AI! It's human made content all the way down.
The most (not gen) AI that is used is Apple Intelligence powered grammar checking instead of Grammarly. We write our own text, take our own photos, and pay a render artist.
Owwkayy dayyuuuudddd
If you want some more Pokemon personality on display, the "short" that played before Pokemon the First Movie "Pikachu's Vacation" is an excellent time spent with just the Pokemon interacting with each other. It's very cute and captures similar feels to Pokopia.

Apple released a slew of new devices this week, including the stellar MacBook Neo and iPhone 17e, plus the very good Studio Display XDR, all on the AppleInsider Podcast.
God we need more Devil May Cry
Pokopia has a whole 3D printer and it surprised me so much that I ended up reanalyzing how Pokémon treats technology in general. Gift link if you want to read :) www.theverge.com/games/890131...
yup, inevitable
Evergreen advice: if you're going to reference Orwell or 1984, read something by Orwell like 1984 first.
Also: just read 1984. It's quite good and not what you expect considering how people use its quotes and imagery.
I have about four photos of me before 2008 then several taken on a Nintendo DSi. My photography didn't pick up any traction until about 2010. Even then it was limited until about 2015.
I remember being ahead of the curve in my social circles. People would ask "why are you taking a photo?"
Apple's week of reveals is over, but the base iPad is missing. That Neo is neat though.

Rumors were almost certain about the base iPad being updated this week, yet it wasn't. I think this serves as a helpful reminder that rumor mongers aren't always accurate.

Pokopia has fully replaced Animal Crossing in my brain. There can only be one.
Eh, happens a lot. Especially Amazon. I can get a pair delivered tomorrow from the Apple Store.
I think it's stuff like this that made Anthropic want to pull out. They had their disagreement and the administration declared it a risk before the war was started. The fact that Claude is involved in this operation is a sign of how difficult it will be to remove Claude from these systems.
People are losing their mind over the MacBook Neo having an iPhone chip and, dear reader, there's no such thing as an iPhone or a Mac chip these days.
It's all just Apple silicon.
It's even more simple than that. It's 8GB because that's how much RAM was used in the iPhone that used that chip. It's what's needed for Apple Intelligence.
If Apple needed more RAM, it would have needed a different chip. MacBook Neo doesn't need more RAM.
Pokopia time
