Popping on with my yearly feature suggestion for all the #Apple OS engineers I know are here:

If I open an iMessage thread with someone and it’s their birthday (according to their contact card) remind me to text them Happy Birthday!

You still have time to sneak this into 27 😉

Absolutely wild the rate at which Apple is bleeding AI talent. Increasingly looks like their best (and maybe only) path to ship “LLM Siri” and other delayed AI features/hardware next year will be to power everything with Gemini or Claude as reported.

It’s gonna take them so many years to catch up.

It shouldn’t be a question of whether you like how it looks or not.

Apple spent all summer tweaking the behaviours of Liquid Glass and the result is an interface that still does *this* much of the time

I think Apple should be held to a higher standard after their decades-long reputation as leaders of user centric interface design

Human has been stuck in my head all morning. I’ve listened to it three times. So far.

Smoothest iPhone preorder in years. The pre-select option in the Apple Store app is a game changer.

Apparently someone named Nate Bargatze is hosting the Emmys? Am I supposed to know who this man is? Is he straight culture?

Ternus is definitely getting increased spotlight this iPhone season... https://www.macrumors.com/2025/09/11/iphone-air-durability-interview/

I wonder if we're going to see an aftermarket of "plugs" to fill the strap holes on Apple's iPhone cases 🤣 https://mastodon.macstories.net/@viticci/115185065339058375

Attached: 4 images I got Apple's TechWoven case for the 17 Pro Max. - Immediately feels much nicer and more premium than FineWoven - iOS 26 doesn't recognize it, but the 16 Pro Max fits inside it and all the buttons work 😅

If Apple still had courage they would've opened the keynote with this. @atpfm

Why didn’t they reposition the Apple logo on the cases to match the phone? So many strange choices all over the place today. #AppleEvent
