What icon style do you use on your Mac and iPhone? So far, the Default style is vastly more popular than anything else. Let's see if that changes with a wider audience responding.
@mwichary Thought you might be interested in a tweaky UI inconsistency when dragging app icons somewhere in iOS that you shouldn't (but think you might be able to).

I miss the days when April 1 was the only day when people intentionally published things that weren’t actually true
There's a new episode of Magical & Revolutionary before we take a brief hiatus until July (WWDC and some travel.) I'm joined by @adamengst of @TidBITS fame (among the many other things!) and he was gracious to geek out with me about the early days of the Mac web and how TidBITS has changed and adapted over its run:
Still getting blown-out CSS for the iPhone 17e tech specs page in all browsers. https://www.apple.com/iphone-17e/specs/
And it's not appearing on Apple's site. @gruber linked to a comparison page that's now not showing it so it must have been there before. Perhaps a CDN failure?

This might resolve some issues you might be having with apps remembering their proper windows!
@TidBITS Needs Your Support in 2026
«’m not exaggerating the importance of reader support—it made 93% of our revenue last year. The only corporate sponsors we have are those who actively choose to support the Apple community while promoting their products. That’s because the level of tracking employed by the broader surveillance advertising industry offends me, and I far prefer to write for readers than feel like I’m collecting eyeballs for advertisers.»

If you’re a fan of TidBITS and the work done by @adamengst and others there, have you considered becoming a member? They have different levels starting at a measly $10/year. Here’s a list of benefits, but the main reason to do it is to keep this amazing content coming!
