For some reason, the iPhone 17 Pro colors and rumored iPhone 18 Pro colors make me feel nostalgic...

Somewhere within Apple, there's probably an engineer who fought really hard to update Grapher.app to make it look as cool as its new Liquid Glass icon, and got shut down by their manager :'(
Definitely agree with this take from @gruber - App Store reviews are pretty busted and encourage all the wrong incentives.
I'm one of those developers whose apps *never* ask for reviews - simply because I hate it when an app interrupts my flow, and my design philosophy is to make software that I don't hate.
But John is right, it's not a winning strategy.

"Black & white film emulator app AgBr is the most beautiful product I have ever used"
It's always good to hear reviews from happy customers :)
13” MacBook Air/Neo is 1.25kg
14” MacBook Pro is 1.5kg.
The people yearn for a sub-1kg notebook
The Mac with longest mainline OS support was the 2013 Pro (9 years); shortest were the 2020 Intel models (4 years)
6 years in, I wonder where the models with M1 chips will fall. They hold up so well, I could see them get 10+ years of support
EOL will likely come due to some new hardware feature or coprocessor
Feels weird that somehow there's about the same amount of time from the OG Macintosh to the G4 as there is from the OG iPhone to the 17 series
Using Camera Control in the 65×24 app frees the viewfinder to completely fill the screen, transforming the iPhone into a magical immersive panoramic camera
Form meets function, a device with a panoramic screen is meant for panoramic photography
According to Hasselblad, there were 16,800 XPan + 5,500 XPan II cameras produced.
Just noticed the user count for https://65x24.app went over this total number recently - a fun milestone to think about.
"Every decision you made on https://BayerCam.app seems to me to be the perfect one"
Some user reviews hit just right 🙇🏻♂️
