Anyone else have a 30 pin to USB-C cable, or just me?

iPhone 17 is $200 more than the new 17e.

Over the 17e, the 17 has:

* Bigger 6.3” screen(vs 6.1”)
* ProMotion
* Always On display
* Dynamic Island
* Camera Control button
* 1 More GPU core on the A19 SOC
* 4 more hours of video playback battery life
* 18 MP Center Stage front camera(vs 12MP TrueDepth)
* 48MP Fusion Ultra Wide camera
* 25 W MagSafe charging(vs 15W)
* Weighs 8 grams more

There are a few other very minor differences:

Why has the entry level iPhone had Face ID for over a year now, but the middle of the road iPad Air still doesn’t have it?
Probably says something about me that autofill from Messages working in Firefox might be the feature that gets me to finally install macOS Tahoe.
So no mention of @atpfm recording tonight by @siracusa, @marcoarment, or @caseyliss? Did I miss the memo or are they just being silent cuz they got an interview with some Apple rep?
Whoops, let too many apps do live activities.
This app sucks anyway, SteerMouse is better.

@rmondello Oh, my bad then. Glad to see there’s been some tech investment in WebKit, that’s a good thing for the web in general. Thanks for correcting me.

(And yes, the “new IE6” line wasn’t supposed to be taken literally. I just meant there’s been a point when Safari was such a PITA for frontend devs that the comparison could be made, but I agree it was an overstatement.)

This post is wrong on a key detail: WebKit. WebKit has an influence on the direction of the web platform. To say it’s only Firefox that exerts influence here is fiction, betraying a lack of understanding of how web standards work in 2025.

“Full control over web standards” has little to do with the Blink/WebKit shared lineage and a lot more to do with an engine’s market share and the values of the contributors to that engine.

Gecko is important, but don’t kid yourself into thinking things that aren’t true.

@webkit @jensimmons Temporal coming soon? Firefox has it, and soon Chromium. I'm so over JS Date. I'm ready for Temporal!
