For years people have been telling me that SD cards are a legacy feature, they’re just for a niche of users, and an SD reader didn’t belong on a Mac sold to millions and millions of people (despite Apple marketing their Pro machines specifically at people who use
On January 4, 2021 I made this video making a bunch of predictions and hopes for what Apple would announce in 2021. One day before their final event of the year, I wanted to check in and see how I did. iPhone 12 Pro Max camera tech trickles down to
Apologies for the iPhone 13 screenshots on an iPhone 12 body, my mock ups haven't been updated for the 13 yet… Above you can see what is presented to the user when I timer or alarm goes off on iOS. The UI is the same, but the inputs
File this under, "am I taking crazy pills?" but I've been quite confused by one specific part of the Safari 15 complaints I've seen over the summer. The complaint is basically that Safari 15 gets the order wrong of it's main 3
I’ve posted a lot both here and on Twitter about payments over the past year for two main reasons: 1. The App Store rules around payments have been in question, so now payments are just another Apple-related subject. 2. Lots of people commenting on this stuff have incomplete understandings

Is spatial audio for music the next great innovation in music production, or is it a whole bunch of nothing? This is the question I’ve been thinking about this week after Apple announced it was coming to Apple music in June. This is largely because my social feeds are
Yesterday we got word that the new iPad Pros are not compatible with the Magic Keyboard that released almost exactly a year ago today. Let’s talk about it. Why the Change? While Apple didn’t give a reason for the change in compatibility, we can look at the differences
The original iPhone had a 3.5” display at 480x320px resolution, or 163 points per inch (ppi). The iPhone 12 as a 6.1” display at 2,532x1,170px resolution, or 460ppi. Pretty much everyone with good eyesight would agree that the iPhone 12 display looks much sharper than the
I got an email from Spotify this weekend asking me to resubscribe for a significant discount. This comes just days after the company rolled out their “2020 wrapped” report to millions of users. Users who, I must add, were more than happy to share these updates to social media. And
Apple introduces the App Store Small Business Program: With the new App Store commission structure, small and individual developers who earn up to $1 million in revenue for the calendar year are eligible for a reduced 15 percent commission rate — half of the App Store’s standard commission. The savings
A few weeks ago, the email service, Hey, released an update to their iOS app that added widgets. The widgets are great, and I use two of them because they’re so perfectly suited to how Hey works. The Android app does not support widgets. Despite Basecamp keeping their iOS
Jon Porter writing for The Verge: Apple’s core argument for taking the charger out of the box is that it avoids piling on accessories that a lot of people already own. During its presentation, Apple estimated that there are 2 billion of its power adapters out in the world,
