New Jersey Macintosh Users Group

This Month's General Meeting:

Meeting Date: Tuesday, October 21, 2025 at 6:30PM

iPhone 17 ProMax, 14-inch MacBook Pro, updated iPad Pro, Revamped Vision Pro, Gemini’s new Nano Banana, Seedream, Holiday Tech Suggestions, BoringNotch and Mark’s Ultimate Packing List

NJMUG’s October meeting will held at the Clifton Allwood Library on Tuesday October 21st at 6:30PM in our old room.

Heard about the new iPhones but haven’t gone to an Apple Store yet to see them? Bruce will show his brand new iPhone 17 ProMax and let you decide if you need to upgrade or not.

On October 16, 2025 Apple announced a new 14-inch MacBook Pro , updated iPad Pro , and a revamped Vision Pro. Bruce will show a short video detailing these new products.

Bruce has been obsessed with Gemini’s all new Nano Banana which claims; "it is the most advanced AI image editor on LMArena. Revolutionize your photo editing with natural language understanding." While he showed this at the last meeting, only a few people were in attendance, and it's so important he wants to show it again.

Bruce will also breifly show Sora which promises to "Turn your ideas into videos with hyperreal motion and sound."

Continuing on his Ai theme, Bruce will also show ByteDance’s Seedream, a new-generation image creation model, which integrates image generation and image editing capabilities into a single, unified architecture.

With Black Friday about a month away, Louie will delve into Holiday Tech Suggestion’s at this months meeting.

Have you ever thought "the notch at the top of my Mac screen would sure be better if it could show me information like the notch on my iPhone", well now it can with boringNotch which promises to make that empty space "not so boring".

Whether you are traveling for a few days or a few weeks a packing list is essential to making sure you are bringing everything you need for your trip. As he was unable to make it the September meeting, Mark will be doing a deep dive into his Ultimate Packing List in our October meeting. This Excel based file can be modified to handle any trip you take.

Letters to NJMUG

Date: 2/9/2022

To the New Jersey Macintosh Users Group,

I'm now a 51-year-old professional in New York City, but I grew up in New Jersey at a time when Apple was first rolling out the Macintosh. I now have two teenage sons myself, and after I was discussing what I did for extracurricular activities in high school, on a lark I looked up the New Jersey Macintosh Users Group, which I was involved in starting up. I was absolutely delighted to find the web page below referencing my participation, and I wanted to say thank you so much for memorializing the group's history. I'm glad it continues, and I'm writing to say how much I appreciate the costless but meaningful gesture of remembering the group's history. I'm only sorry I wasn't on a mailing list to be able to commemorate the 20th anniversary! Wishing best of luck, and another 35 years of success, to the New Jersey Macintosh Users Group!

Very truly yours,

Michael ("Mike") Waldorf
