EVERY TIME I open Keynote on the Mac I now get a prompt to upgrade. I can’t recall even severely outdated software pushing this hard for an update after the user clearly expresses they’re fine for now.

It’s fascinating to see how Apple stays true to their tradition of underspecced, overpriced consumer displays. I was hoping for an update to the Studio Display, but I will not shell out $1600+ for a monitor that only has 60Hz. Once you go ProMotion, you can’t unsee it.

Social media’s ability to get you addicted by far surpasses its ability to provide any interesting content. Other addictions seem like way more fun.

The single most common thing I do in Apple Photos is rotate images. Yet it takes 3 taps to do that. Sorry to break it to the team: the sensors in the iPhone are not good enough to get orientation right every time.

Just saw a video that put Apple Music and Winamp next to each other, and it made me realize why Winamp feels so much simpler and approachable than modern UIs.

Its UI doesn’t change.

You click something, and... the UI stays the same. The song starts playing, but not a single pixel moves. There’s no relayout, nothing shrinks, nothing scrolls, nothing animates. It’s stable. It feels predictable. Safe.

Compare that to Apple Music. They played one song and went through three ... 1/3

Apple designers be like: “ok guys, if you come across any remaining readable text across the OS, you need to ruin it asap”

Man, getting spam emails addressing me as Dear Esteemed Professional reminds me of the good old days of spam!

love these icons! what a clever way to draw symbols for:

- TV with antenna
- plate
- shortcuts with line
- tilted TV
- weird clock
- rectangles
- stuff
- McDonalds
- panorama
- street sign under snow

If you put the Apple icons in reverse it looks like the portfolio of someone getting really really good at icon design
