Jess Weatherbed, The Verge:
Samsung is preparing to axe its first three-panel foldable phone less than three months after launching the device in the US. Sales of the $2,899 Galaxy Z TriFold will first be wound down in Korea and then discontinued in the US once remaining inventory has been cleared, an unnamed Samsung spokesperson told Bloomberg.
Maybe five blades on a razor is too many?

I was just going about my day then James Thomson of PCalc and other fine applications dropped these images on me and said I could share them.
Also, something fun for those of you with 3D printers.

Another crackerjack essay on design and attention from Terry Godier. (Note that the Casio in the essay not only shows the actual time, but has functional buttons.)

Apple Newsroom today:
Apple today announced AirPods Max 2, bringing even better Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), elevated sound quality, and intelligent features to the iconic over-ear design. Powered by H2, features like Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, Voice Isolation, and Live Translation come to AirPods Max for the first time. The new AirPods Max also unlock creative possibilities for podcasters, musicians, and content creators, with useful features like studio-quality audio recording and camera remote.
AirPods Max 2 will be available to order starting March 25 in midnight, starlight, orange, purple, and blue, with availability beginning early next month.
Seemingly no change to the Smart Case for the Max, which I know some people were hoping for. (I only use AirPods Pro, not Max, but when I tested the original AirPods Max I thought the case was fine.) Here’s a link to Apple’s Compare page showing all the differences between the Max 2 and original Max, with AirPods Pro 3 in the third slot. (Archived for posterity here.) One neat new feature: the Max 2 will support using the Digital Crown button as a remote camera shutter button for a paired iPhone or iPad.
