Rumor roundup
Apple 2020 preview: iPhone 12, Watch 6, iPad Pro 4, and more!
1
2019 is over. Everything that would ship did ship. And now it's time to let the past die. Kill it if you have to. It's the only way for all of us to get what comes next. Wait, no, that sounds so nihilistic. And I'm, like, so totally optimistic about what this year could bring. So, let's go over it all.

Rene Ritchie's gadget of the decade: Apple Watch
3
In my Apple Watch Series 5 review, I said that the addition of always-on took it from being the best smartwatch in the world to being the best damn watch period. And, three months later, I stand by that. Absolutely. 100 percent. But, it's also something more: Not just the best watch of the year, but the best gadget of the decade.
But where?
Apple is still missing some Macs
1
Even now, at the end of the decade, there are still some gaps in Apple’s lineup. Some holes. Some products just plain missing in action. Let's start with the Macs.

iPhone 11 vs. iPhone XR vs. iPhone 8: Which new iPhone are you?
The iPhone 11 has launched. It's here. And while I was at the launch at Apple's brand new, redesigned, reimagined, 2.0 version of the 5th Ave. Store, I started thinking about, if I was there… if I was lined up, if I was looking over all the choices… not just one iPhone and only one iPhone any more, but a range of choices and options and colors… which would I get?

16-inch MacBook Pro Review: 2 weeks later
1
I've been using the 16-inch MacBook Pro day in, day out, as my main computational machine, since just before Apple announced it. I've done all the emails and messages, surfed all the websites, watched all the TV, written tens of thousands of words, and edited 7 or so YouTube videos comprising about an hour of a-roll and just a ton of b-roll.

Bluetooth: The secret to Apple's ecosystem
The power of the Apple ecosystem. You hear so much about it. How, once you get in, it makes it oh just so easy to stay in. Once you get one product, like an iPhone, it makes it oh just so easy to get more, like an Apple Watch, iPad, or Mac. But what does it really mean and how does it really work? I mean, not just in nebulous terms but specifically? For me, Bluetooth is a big part of it.
