@marcoarment If you think this is bad, start a workout on your Apple Watch.

Unread 4.7 is available from the App Store. This modest update adds liquid glass support on iPhone and iPad when running iOS 26 or iPadOS 26. Alerts, software keyboards, and context menus for selected text in articles now look more modern. There is still very little liquid glass in the core user interface.

It’s been long enough that I feel confident in saying the information artchitecture on the watchOS 26 workouts app is garbage.

Nothing is where I want nor expect it to be.

Some Apple Music Atmos mixes are completely broken. A flag per Album to select if you want Atmos or Stereo is nearly necessary. Feels like they sent a bunch of content through a tool and didn’t listen to it at all. The vocals in this one are fading in and out. @viticci do you have a hot tip to help with this? I do like Atmos mixes that effort has been put into. https://music.apple.com/au/album/hum-hallelujah/1445734010?i=1445734017&l=en-GB

@caseyliss my carlinkit wireless CarPlay dongle has been working well again on my 17 Pro after installing 26.1b3 last week. I think the kicker why 26.0.1 didn’t help me was because I have an Apple Watch too. Other friends with 17’s and wireless CarPlay had their issues settle after 26.0.1 but they don’t have watches. What’s your experience like now?

@caseyliss I just installed Callsheet 2025.5 but still seeing (Posthumous) for some, and the new dev for others. The Dark Knight is an example. Is that a difference in how the data is stored for Heath Ledger in this case (Compared to Sean Connery)?

@caseyliss I’m searching for Tron in Callsheet and the results are a bit strange. It’s giving me the movie from ‘82, then actors, then the TV show from ‘12 at the bottom. TRON: Legacy only shows if I add : to my search which doesn’t help when I couldn’t remember the full name. How could I have searched for that better?

@marcoarment do you have latency issues using the Era 300’s as PC speakers? I’m considering some 100’s but it seems like I’ll be stuck with a 75ms delay even when using the line in adaptor which isn’t going to work for watching videos and some gaming. Thanks.
@caseyliss did you end up doing something similar with 100’s?

@unread FYI, webpage text parsing isn’t working this morning. Everything else looks ok. Thanks.
