@gruber Can we talk about iOS 26’s camera’s new (partially eaten cookie & crumbs? Croissant & glitter? Ahh, night mode!) indicator? I assume the debris between 12 and 3:00 is supposed to be stars. Apple is aware that stars don’t appear IN FRONT OF THE MOON when the moon is less than full, correct?
@daringfireball just got a new Mac from my work and these started showing up. I assumed it was due to some setting imposed by the employer but I’m actually kind of glad to see it’s a broader, and new, issue so I don’t have to obsess over tracking down how to turn it off.
@hotdogsladies I assume “calamitous ORTBOs” is on the next screen?
@daringfireball This probably feeds into the long on-ramp to profitability, which presumably includes the time it takes to build up a deep enough library that you can’t binge all the good stuff from the past year over a month or two.
@daringfireball one thing I’d add here about Apple customers’ predicted “stickiness” / low churn. I also assume Apple customers are more savvy, not just in a technical sense but more broadly. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a substantially higher fraction of AppleTV customers who subscribe to the service for a couple of months, binge the shows they want to watch, then cancel for a year until their shows are available again.
@daringfireball somebody stop me
@daringfireball that’s the ticket
@hotdogsladies amazing that there’s not a hint of the John Williams score in there.
@NanoRaptor the great thing about that one was it doubled as a window-mounted air conditioner.
