https://www.apple.com/macbook-neo/specs/ There's one thing it's certainly excellent at. Using the same SoC as iPhone 16 Pro, it manages to show the difference between restrictive philosophy of iOS and fully usable MacOS. On the same hardware.
In the era of unhinged vibecoded projects, I propose:
Unsolder A18 Pro out of MacBook Neo, put it into iPhone 16 Pro and run a rooted OS of choice. How about that?

Uhhh, how do we merge the monikers Pro and LED in a way that makes it sound like OLED?
Wait, no, it is an OLED. A Public Relations OLED?

MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display has the world’s best laptop display. Featuring the M5 Pro or M5 Max chip, it’s a powerful platform for AI.

According to experiences from post above and Apple's documentation at https://support.apple.com/en-us/125666, people in Australia, Brazil and UK running a recent enough iOS (will?) have to verify their age to have an unconstrained browser and in-app communication without a local ML model checking incoming and outgoing media. The string "To change these restrictions, your country or region requires you to confirm you're an adult." is quite self-evident. I suppose the limited discussion on this topic comes from an automatic pass for people with a *credit* card added to their account or this feature simply doesn't apply to people who ran an earlier version, where it was disabled by default.
An interesting extra aspect is that even though Apple claims local processing in age estimation from selfie, they claim it works alongside the cloud, for an unknown reason.

You might've heard of SimpleX, conceptually meant to be the TOP1 chat app when it comes to the offered level of privacy, as they avoid the presence of (shared) identifiers as much as possible and bounce data around. Basically, the equivalent of GOS in communicators. Of course GOS admins wouldn't recommend it, as it's a small scale project relative to the well established Signal.
Turns out they're into monetization nearly as much as Telegram and you have to update or tap (I did both while not looking closely) the banner (which thankfully doesn't open your browser) for it to get a close button in its top right corner. Perhaps this way they won't run out of money too soon despite unsustainable ideas, such as client side file size limits, but their rep to me is permanently tainted 😬

I think I didn't write about it here yet, but Signature 27 got a dedicated "action camera", which doesn't seem to be anything particular. As you can see on this photo, supposedly coming from it, the star symbols are absolutely bent by rolling shutter. No global shutter there, no "event-based sensor".
My bet is on unused stock of IMX563. It's a really fast 12MP 2PD sensor they already used in the past that may offer a slightly faster capture than LYT-L910. And while it's capable of 4k240, the hands-on video this comes from is missing even 4k120 from normal video mode and so presumably from manual video mode too (if there's one). Not a very action experience if you think about it, guess they'll sell it to people on next year's device instead.

I'm a VERY BAD person by linking this to people dealing with certainly stolen devices and never devices previously in hands of people who merely logged into their Google accounts and weren't asked to confirm "make factory reset impossible without credentials" 👿

It just didn't work??? IMX563 would at least genuinely reduce rolling shutter, I don't know what are they doing with an EVS...
