I’m so glad I can touch type. (A little bug I’ve just encountered with iOS 18.3 with the soft keyboard and Messages)

Happy New Year Everyone, I hope you all have a great new year.

That’s all I have to say. #AndroidXR

Now Apple’s .2 release is finally available. For the time being, I’m going to stop on stable for a while unless .3 beta 1 brings something so excellent that I have to try it.

iOS 18.2 now enables RCS for O2 UK, I went the about page in settings and a dialog appeared for carrier settings update, tapped update and sure enough RCS support. Ironically I was looking to see if it had been added, before I did the update it hadn’t.

TestFlight has just been updated with a dark app icon 🤮.

The new rumors about the iPhone 17 lineup seem confusing. Apparently, the Pro iPhones are switching from Titanium to Aluminum, just like the non-Pro iPhones. (Oh, and it also appears that 2025 might finally be the year we, outside the US, will bid farewell to the SIM tray.) How Apple will differentiate the Pro and non-Pro iPhones in 2025 remains a mystery?

Had a waste-of-time hospital appointment today, and I don’t know if it’s just me who thinks this, but having flashing Christmas lights in a hospital is a VERY bad idea. Fair enough to have decorations up for Christmas, but lights that are flashing, NO!!
