If you’ve read that Apple Silicon Macs are great at AI inference because unified memory lets all the system memory be used, there’s some nuance to the discussion. It’s mostly true. We did some testing here to see how much memory the system would allow for GPU use:

M1 with 16GB: 11GB (71.58%)

M4 Pro with 24GB: 17GB (71.58%)

M4 Max with 48GB: 38GB (80.53%)

I assume “everyday designer” is how Figma intends to pitch their growth story for their IPO. In other words, Figma is coming for Canva. https://www.figma.com/blog/its-time-we-expand-our-definition-of-design/

2025 should be the year you stop using WCAG 2 colour contrast testing, and switch to APCA. This article is a few years old, and covers everything well. https://blog.datawrapper.de/color-contrast-check-data-vis-wcag-apca/

Acorn 8 is out with a bunch of new stuff. I think it’s the only indie Mac image editor left? Anyway, it’s great. You should buy it. Amazing work, @ccgus! https://flyingmeat.com/acorn/

We’ve just released the Pinwheel Figma plugin for exporting colour variables as Design Tokens JSON. We think it might be the first plugin to do this with full support of sRGB and Display P3. Also, it’s free. We hope you like it!

Pinwheel can now auto-generate higher contrast versions of colours and colour sets! It can also now import and export DTCG JSON with colour profiles. That feature isn’t in the official spec yet, but is coming soon.

I’m not going to look up the specs for every Android device, but I think all the flagship models have been Display P3 for ages, too.

Are you using any wide gamut colours in your design work? It’s strange that it’s rare, given how common Display P3 screens are. I think the base iPad is the only phone/computer that Apple sells that’s not P3?
