I’ve read many, many words on the iPhone Duo. Realistically, I’m both curious about the device, and eager to make sure I didn’t make a mistake not getting one. Every review I’ve read and every video I’ve watched has given me confidence that no, the Duo isn’t…
Thirty countries and counting. And Apple continues to fight, frustrating developers and consumers alike.
It’s long past time Apple stop approaching support for third-party iOS app stores only when forced, while complaining about it the whole time. Apple only allows the App Store for iOS in the US. But various countries have issued rulings requiring that Apple…
Everyone loves the hinge and the matte screen. Everyone wishes it weighed less. And nobody’s sure about that cover screen.
The iPhone Duo reviews landed, and I read a slew of them. Because I care about you. And because I’m curious about Apple’s new folding phone. The phone arrives Friday — for the lucky few whose pre-orders didn’t slip to later, anyway. I should say up front: I…
A read-later app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac built around turning pages instead of scrolling
I don’t know who invented the “read it later” app concept. I know I’ve used and loved several apps for later reading over the years. The read it later craze was at one point so frothy that my pal Dan Moren and I created a joke bookmarklet called Read It Now.…
The iPhone 18 Pro Max AT&T issue a recent example
We know Apple likes to keep secrets. The company aims for big, splashy, exciting, and (perhaps most importantly) newsworthy reveals, and secrecy is a big piece of that. (That’s why I remain surprised that Apple’s never been able to plug the leaks that Mark…
John Gruber: I seldom suggest you spend 47 minutes watching a video, but this one is worth your time. (And, given that it clearly fell off the back of a truck, you might want to put a copy on your own truck sooner rather than later.) A lot of times with a…
New iPhone Day should be exciting. I kind of dread it.
I got a new iPhone 18 Pro today. My early review: It’s good. But I am genuinely shocked at how little Apple has improved the new iPhone setup experience in recent years. I did the thing where you get Apple’s take on a QR code, point one phone’s camera at the…
Developers, developers, developers… are annoyed, annoyed, annoyed. And their users will be, too.
UPDATE: MY WHINING WORKED. Previously: Apple isn’t setting the iPhone Duo for maximum success from day one. Oh, it’s an impressive feat of hardware engineering. While I don’t want one as my main carry iPhone, I’d love to play with one. But I’m a-okay with the…
I wear earbuds to sleep. I never thought I would be that person, but here we are. I specifically wear the Soundcore Sleep A20 earbuds. They’re designed to be worn while sleeping and do a great job of staying in my ears while my head is on the pillow—a feat…
Stephen Hackett points to this Mastodon post from David Smith. Smith’s stats show that 0.3 percent of Widgetsmith users are using the iPhone Air. Anecdotally, I’ve never seen one in the wild outside the Apple Store. Hackett: “The graph is pretty pretty pretty…
Jason Snell: I can’t wait to try out the iPhone Duo. As someone who spends a lot of time using an iPad, I’m seriously intrigued if it might fit in my life as a primary device. But for most people, it will be not just too expensive, but too weird. That’s fine.…
The new starting prices for the three models now look like this: iPhone 16: $799 (+$100) iPhone 17e: $699 (+$100) iPhone 17: $899 (+$100) iPhone Air: $1099 (+$100) Via MacRumors. Fun!
Apple announced the cool things that they were expected to announce. You’ll read detailed analysis about it, but you probably watched the event Wednesday, and if not, you can go watch it now. The iPhone Duo certainly looks cool and makes some clever design…
Mark Gurman at Bloomberg: Ternus will now need to persuade consumers — beyond the most devoted Apple customers — to shell out more money for a device that introduces new complexity and some trade-offs. The phone has to be opened to take full advantage of it…
