TBM 377: Time Allocation ≠ Capacity Allocation

Before we jump in: September Conferences! I’m heading to Enterprise Tech Leadership Summit in Las Vegas: September 23–25, 2025. I’m a huge fan of Gene Kim’s work and the community he has created. Dotwork is sponsoring, so I’ll be “working the booth.” Drop by if you’re around. I’ll also be in Cleveland next week (9th and 10th) for Industry. Would love to meet people in person.

iPhone 17 Pro review: How pro can you go?

9to5mac.com Chance Miller 2025-09-25 10:00:11

When Apple announced the iPhone 17 Pro last week, it touted that the addition of the iPhone Air in the lineup allowed it to take the Pro models “to an entirely new level of performance and capabilities.” I’ve been testing the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max for the last week to find out just how far Apple has pushed those limits. Design Apple says the iPhone 17 Pro features an aluminum unibody design that is “crafted with a lightweight aerospace-grade 7000-series aluminum alloy.” It’s not

iPhone Air review: The thinnest iPhone ever, but at what cost?

9to5mac.com Chance Miller 2025-09-25 20:00:21

Every so often, Apple makes a design decision that draws a line in the sand. One that feels like a delineation between one era and the next. The iPhone Air is that kind of device. It’s strikingly thin and sets a new standard for how an iPhone should feel in your hand. The iPhone Air is also an example of the compromises that come with pushing the design boundaries of a form factor. The question is whether it correctly strikes that balance. I’ve been using the iPhone Air since it was announced l

In Praise of Idleness (1932)

Like most of my generation, I was brought up on the saying “Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do.” Being a highly virtuous child, I believed all that I was told and acquired a conscience which has kept me working hard down to the present moment. But although my conscience has controlled my actions, my opinions have undergone a revolution. I think that there is far too much work done in the world, that immense harm is caused by the belief that work is virtuous, and that what needs

Apple Watch Ultra 3, Series 11 battery estimates don’t tell the whole story

This year’s new Apple Watch models come with a variety of upgrades, including battery improvements on the Ultra 3 and Series 11.

Apple’s battery estimates now include sleep tracking, but didn’t before Battery life is one of the most important features of any mobile device. Any battery gains tend to be a big deal for users.

What would you do with 52 hours a week of discretionary time?

What would you do with 52 hours a week of discretionary time? Make your time count. Published: 04 June 2023 Productivity Tim Urban has a good article describing how we have 100 10-minute "blocks" per day when we aren't sleeping. It's a great article, but I want to reframe it a little. I just filled out his graph for my weekdays: 8 hours doing school, 2 hours of eating, 50m each of commute & self-care. So after a typical weekday I only have 30 blocks = 300 minutes left of discretionary time

The best battery life iPhone 17 Pro models are not sold in every country

9to5mac.com Benjamin Mayo 2025-10-05 15:34:20

At Apple’s event yesterday, battery life was one of the big marketing points for the iPhone 17 Pro series. However, it turns out that the best battery life models of the Pro and Pro Max are not actually available to buy worldwide. In the United States, Apple quotes 30 hours streaming video playback for iPhone 17 Pro and 35 hours for iPhone 17 Pro Max. But in the UK, Europe, and elsewhere, the tech specs list battery life of 28 hours and 33 hours respectively, two hours less than their US model

AirPods Pro 3 have less overall battery life than AirPods Pro 2

The new AirPods Pro 3 have better battery life than AirPods Pro 2 on a single charge, with the buds lasting up to 2 hours longer on one charge. But here’s a curveball. The overall battery life of AirPods Pro 3 is actually less. Including the charging case, Apple says AirPods Pro 3 are good for 24 hours of listening time, whereas AirPods Pro 2 actually last for 30 hours. That’s a surprising 20% reduction … This means for one continuous session of music and podcast listening, AirPods Pro 3 are s
