On Monday, Apple showed it heard user complaints about the MacBook Pro, returning the SD card slot (UHS-II at 300 MB/s+), dropping the Touch Bar, and bringing back the long requested MagSafe connector with a new woven cable and its reassuring green power indicator.

In another sign of Apple hearing the madding crowd, the macOS 15.1 developer beta has restored the old Safari tab design, eschewing the poorly received bubble tab design that came with the latest macOS and iPadOS releases.

Great to see these changes. Feels like Apple has turned a corner, dialing back from the “we know best” position to allow a whisper of “what does the customer want?” in its design process.
