If you have family members with Xfinity service who struggle with signing into their Xfinity Stream app to watch their TV package, this might help. I crafted this simple shortcut for my parents this Thanksgiving and it seems to have done the job. They were able to sign in easily.

I just installed iOS 26 beta 4 and this is an email in the Mail app. I’m not sure how they can release this as a public beta and I’m having serious concerns about the release in September now!

Look at that Liquid Glass toolbar at the bottom of the screen. WTF?

Hey @bardi
I really like the Tusks app, but this bugs me…
Apple's new app has me wondering if there is any other app Apple has released whose name is a verb instead of a noun. 🤔

From this screenshot of Apple‘s new Mac mini introduction commercial, it appears you can easily access the power button without lifting up or turning over the computer.

Only one Highwayman left now.😢

Like everyone else, I do like the new iPhone Mirroring feature in Sequoia, but if I have to manually unlock my iPhone with my passcode the first time I use the feature each day, it is a lot less useful than I thought it would be.

I'm getting this when trying to connect for the first time each day. Maybe it is because I power off my laptop at night and this has to be done after each restart.

Anyone else seeing the same behavior?

I’d have thought you guys would have been on Apple TV+ before Netflix but congratulations @imyke and @jsnell on the new endeavor!

These brief release notes seem like they could have been even briefer.

Is the word “known” really necessary? Do they sometimes fix unknown issues? 🤔

The 13 year-old in me can’t help but wonder why this was not the show title!

🤣
