Apple's unrealized plans
The trial battle between Apple and Epic gave us insight into the inner-workings of the Apple. One of the sources of information are internal emails. One email in particular is very interesting because it's an agenda for a Steve Jobs' meeting from August 2007. Back the Apple was working on some unreleased products:
- 15-inch MacBook Air,
- Mac tablet,
- new iPod shuffle.
The 15-inch version of the MacBook Air has never been released or even rumored. The Mac Tablet is probably the iPad, which was released 3 years later. And the last, the iPod shuffle has never actually got an update.
Windows 11 is coming?

Software giant has been teasing this for a while, and it looks like it will be the biggest update in a decade. Recently Microsoft has been added small, but cool features to the Windows, so hopefully the new version will follow this pattern.
