I'm specifically interested in comprehensive news coverage about Apple. The fields I focus on include, but are not limited to, strategic changes, product releases, organizational changes, product feature changes, user growth, revenue, new patent, AI hardware, etc. Importantly, DO NOT include any news that is unrelated to Apple or purely focused on product promotions. The goal is to get a well-rounded view of Apple.
A user updated from Catalina to Sonoma (14.6) on a 15-inch MacBook Air and noticed that Preview windows cannot be made narrower than half the screen width, making it impossible to view two documents side-by-side. The same issue is present with Safari, where the minimum width is about 2/5th of the screen width. The user is using 1440x932 resolution, which is the correct 2x scaling for the retina screen.

Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, was shown a picture of the Apple TV Remote and a Google TV remote with a full QWERTY keyboard during AppleCare training in the 2000s.

Apple's 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max camera specs list 'fusion' in parentheses for 4k 100fps and 120fps video modes without explanation. The term 'fusion' is used for new camera features, but its meaning is unclear. The video modes may not be actual 120fps or it could be a feature allowing framerate conforming later.
