On today’s ABC podcast, I talked about my evolving thoughts on App Store fees, and how they’ve changed over time.
Hopped on a flight yesterday and walked by not 1, but 2 people in first class using MacBook Neos.
Everybody loves these lil cuties.
Recently I read a post by some jackhole techbro who wants a default automatic feed algorithm here just like Big Social™.
Opening the door for AI bullshit is not even the worst part of this idea.
Folks, all of us here ARE the algorithm. Personal curation is a feature, not a bug.

I'm not here to shill my friend's app, I'm here to shill for an app I genuinely love.
If you want a launcher and don't need a million other features, consider this one!
I’m thrilled to launch Apple Frames 4 – a massive update to my shortcut that frames Apple device screenshots.
Now featuring:
💻 The latest Apple devices, including Studio Displays and MacBook Neo
⚡ A rebuilt (and faster) shortcut
🎨 Support for multiple frame/Watch band colors
📐 Proportional scaling
...and:
🛠️ I'm launching an Apple Frames CLI for developers! It can frame hundreds of screenshots in seconds, and it's designed for AI agents too.

Saw The Format again this weekend in Denver, and this time had the iPhone Air with me. I still got a few good photos, but it really made me appreciate the difference in capabilities between this and the Pro.
No raw, longer exposures, generally softer/painterly images, and waaaaaay worse zoom (I was meaningfully closer this time).
App Review isn't helping.
Also I've learned what Google Chrome developer review is like, and it's…fine.
