iPhone’s been a thing now for 18 years. iPad, 15 years. Never in all those years has there been a user-facing Fonts folder.

I like Fontcase as much as the next guy, but jeezus pleezus, Apple! #wwdc25

One of the superpowers of the iPad mini is its ability to switch the Safari display from normal iPad mode in landscape to a supersized iPhone mode in portrait. I don’t know if this is a thing app developers can do or if it’s specific to Safari, but it would be nice if Apple held a session at #wwdc25 to help devs navigate this amazing capability of the smallest iPad.

On a side note, the Waterfield Designs Tech Folio not the best iPad bag for everyday use, but it’s fantastic when you’re traveling and want to sneak an extra bag in your carry-on. (They come in MacBook sizes as well, if that’s what you’re into.) https://www.sfbags.com/collections/folios/products/tech-folio-2

I keep thinking about that stretch of roughly 13 years in which nearly everything new from Apple was iSomething: iMac, iBook, iTunes, iMovie, iPhoto, iPod, iLife, iWork, iPhone, iPad, iCloud. iM sure iM forgetting at least one iSomething.

(To be fair, they did introduce Apple TV during that period, but they’d have called it iTV if they could get the copyright.)

And ever since, it’s Apple Watch, Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, Apple News, Apple Fitness, Apple Vision Pro, Apple Intelligence. (Apple Podcasts really became Apple Podcasts during this period as well.)

Something to think about as we head into #wwdc25 next week. Apple under Tim Cook focuses on Apple, whereas Apple under Steve Jobs focused on i even long after i had ceased to mean “internet” and started to mean the user.

The thing I want most from Apple at #wwdc25 is acknowledgement that they’ve gone too far in making everything about Apple when they wouldn’t even exist without developers and users.

I will settle for them letting me edit TextStyles.plist to change the fonts and sizes in the app formerly known as iTunes, like I used to do back in the day.
