Apple needs to explain that bug that resurfaced deleted photos

Apple markets itself as one that cares about your privacy. So why has it stayed silent on a bug that resurfaces deleted photos?

I love that people were like ‘wahh, I never use all that power in my iPad Pro for anything!' so Apple designers + engineers went 'sick, that means we can render high-poly 3d tools with this new Apple Pencil Pro to cast dynamic shadows at 120fps’
Why does @flexibits Fantastical’s complications keep disappearing from my #AppleWatch? Second day in a row. Never had this issue before. Anyone else?

@danielpunkass Bringing my ~yearly ping from Twitter to Mastodon :)

Any news on MarsEdit getting ghost.org support? Thanks!

The T-Mobile Sidekick’s Jump button made mobile multitasking easy

Before the iPhone, before Android, before webOS, the Danger Hiptop, and its task-switching Jump key, made it incredibly easy to get things done.

2027. I set up my new iPhone. I insert my EU mandated replaceable compostable battery. I choose my default browser, phone dialer, Lock Screen, health app, NFC payment app, and Siri voice (the EU mandated an open market for Siri voices in the amended 2026 Digital Markets Act). I go to the App Store, dismiss the cookie warning, select my App Store search engine and download the Coca-Cola App Catalogue to get the Disney+ app to load up on MickeyCoins to purchase the latest Star Wars game.
I love the new Apple Watch gesture to open control center. You swipe up from the bottom, then try the crown, then try it again, then hit the big button.

I also want to finally clear up that ‘iCloud logo is made with the Golden Ratio story’, because while I couldn't say so at the time, it's a huge load of bullshit. It was never made with the golden ratio, and no serious designer makes things with the golden ratio.

And the diagrams they used to prove that weren't even accurate! Nobody ever checks the receipts.

It's here, folks: the annual iPhone camera review.

Most say it's an evolutionary step — my experiences were a bit more complicated than that. https://www.lux.camera/iphone-15-pro-max-review/
