Every week, I organize 400 to 700 links into roughly 60 categories as part of my ongoing effort to learn about AI. This is my personal notebook, which I enjoy sharing with friends… a hobby and a labor of love, rather than a commercial publication or product.
If you arrived here through a search or shared link, this page collects the links I found for Apple for the week ending August 28, 2026.
As part of my learning process, I like to automate the category covers. It gives me a chance to learn Python and APIs.
This week’s cover prompt was written using Claude Opus 4.7, and the image was generated using Nano Banana 2.1.
Category Cover Image Prompt: A 16:9 mid-1980s murder-mystery movie poster of a wide black-and-white engraved Victorian mansion on pure black, with a bitten-apple-shaped attic window, warm amber windows showing a turtlenecked executive holding a glass slab, a trench-coated figure guarding a glowing padlock, a suspect wearing a sleek ski-goggle headset, and still lifes of iPhones, AirPods and a half-eaten apple as evidence; the open center door reveals a slim silver-haired butler in black tailcoat with white gloves holding a silver tray with an envelope sealed by a tiny bitten-apple wax emblem, with fat rounded white title lettering spelling 'Apple' above the roofline, crisp crosshatched engraving style, campy and theatrical.
This Week in Apple News
Summary by Claude Sonnet 5.5 based on this week’s links:
Apple announced the M6 and M5 Ultra chips, pitched as a big jump in performance and AI compute. Artificial Analysis also launched independent testing of small models on phones like the iPhone 17 Pro, measuring how capable they are on typical on-device tasks.
Separately, Pierce Boggan said iOS and Android apps can now be built and tested directly in the GitHub Copilot app.
This summary was generated by Claude Sonnet 5.5 to help you explore the links below. Rest assured, I select, organize, and check the links by hand in Google Sheets, and write the introduction and personal commentary in The Main Newsletters myself each week as a labor of love.

Throwback to the “dinosaur input device” that was used to animate the stellar T-Rex dinosaur in the first Jurassic Park movie. Everything that has happened before will happen again, so now it’s a spatial 3D harness you can control with a Vision Pro and hand tracking.”
