As a longtime Android user, I didn't expect on liking the iPhone 17 lineup, yet I’ve ditched Android and Windows for Apple’s Mac-iPad-iPhone ecosystem. There are also three photos you might like to see :) #Apple #iPhone #iPhone17 sjlua.dev/chronicles/p...

OCARINA OF TIME LOOKS SO GOOD AND I NEVER EVEN FINISHED BOTW

We, Australia, get the Zelda concert?????? Damn I did not expect that LOL

anyone else on #macOS 27??

testing from the #menuBar 👀

underrated macOS 27 improvement: the messages app not lagging when switching between different chats 🥲🥲

High cost of entry and everything being vibe coded in a pretty generic way does not bring confidence

has anyone done a comparison on the developer communities on bluesky, mastodon, threads and twitter/x -- specifically how alive and active each of them are 🙃

i made the jump to macOS 27 beta. i finally have siri ai on 2 devices now, AND the uniform rounded corners!

I think it’s time for me to really begin my foray into iOS app development 👀

BEEP BEEP BEEP

dealing with AR on android devices is a pain, i love it when a device on the AR supported list doesn’t actually support the APIs we need 🫩 the list: developers.google.com/ar/devices

the best feature of Siri AI is 100% alarm management.

The MacBook Neo jumping price too is crazy 🫪 EDU: $749 to $899 AUD Standard: $899 to $1049 AUD

i finally have new siri after 2 days on iOS 27 beta 2. i’ve been waiting since june 12th (i even asked siri what date that friday was!)

how do people decide on making an app when so many already exist that solve your problem???

Wordle 1822 2/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 #Wordle 🤯

i spent 40 minutes trying to make a widget that would open a video for a friend’s iphone. the new create shortcut via ai helped but not enough since it would open up the file name, not the file itself. #iOS #iPhone #iOS27

day 2 of no siri ai

has anyone gotten siri ai outside of the US??

first iOS 27 thoughts: the new icon outline does help with making icons look clearer, but wow do the edges look grainy 🫪 #Apple #iOS27 #iPhone

i’m on my way iOS 27 😭

resisting the urge to update to iOS 27 on my main iPhone 😶‍🌫️

Curious what does the developer community activity when it comes to reach/activity look like between Threads, Bluesky, X and Mastodon??

the biggest win from #WWDC26 is truly macOS 🙏

I think a boring #WWDC26 is good, that’s exactly what we were asking for since last #WWDC25 🤫

the next big update being dedicated to optimisation 🥲 thank goodness #WWDC26

APPLE DID IT THEY CHANGED THE CORNERS BACK TO NORMAL IN MACOS 27 🙂‍↕️ #WWDC26

The ultrasonic sensors really are better than the optical ones. But Face ID clears them all surprisingly, 3D LiDAR ones at least.

WWDC26 coming next week 👀

Issue re-confirmed yet again, not only Discord but Google Meet. I should’ve stayed on Sequoia. Why is 26.5 causing echo issues 🫩 #macOS #Apple #MacBook #macOS26

I realised that this year's #WWDC26 will be the first one where I actually own Apple devices instead of being surrounded by them as an Android user 🫪

I think iOS 26.4.2 finally fixed the 60fps folder opening animation in the App Library, which has been there since iOS 26 🤦‍♂️

I was watching a video on YouTube, and now when a YouTuber says subscribe, there's a red glow that appears around it 🫪

Pokopia has taken over my life so much to the point where I’m writing an article on it 🤦‍♂️

I think this would be a net positive for Apple, surprised to see it announced 5 months before it would take effect though!

linux.

emoji of the year i can already see it 🫪

TIL whatsapp has chat themes??? since feb 2025???

The MacBook Neo seems like a genuinely great competitor in the education price range, especially in Australia where Chromebooks with 128GB or Windows laptops with the lowest tier Intel Core i3 remain. #Apple #MacBook #MacOS www.apple.com/au/macbook-n...

i wonder if this can be integrated with expo-web 👀 @expo.dev

Since the version of Sikarugir used in the video is a bit different, I made a little article expanding on it, specifically on how to play Super Battle Golf. #Gaming #SuperBattleGolf #macOS sjlua.dev/chronicles/p...

I got Super Battle Golf to work on the M4 MacBooks by using Sikarugir!! Keyboard might not work at first but if you Cmd+Tab in and out then it’ll work flawlessly at 120fps on high. Somewhat old but it’s a good starting point: youtube.com/watch?v=pCgY... #MacGaming #MacOS #SuperBattleGolf #Gaming

In honour of #PokemonDay, #Pokemon30, Dexern has gotten some nice updates: - Buttons, icons and card layouts everywhere. - Better themed stats screen. - Personalise your Partner screen with your name and region. Available now as a Web App 🛜 sjlua.dev/dexern #Expo #ReactNative #Web #BuildInPublic

Ok so the S26 series dropped, pretty standard year on year upgrades, except for the standout stabilisation and the privacy screen (cool display tech despite the downsides). But more expensive? 🤦‍♂️ The S26 and S26+ didn’t get nearly as much change to justify their price increases at least in Aus.

Pixel Agents A VS Code extension that turns your AI coding agents like Claude Code into animated pixel art characters in a virtual office. It shows what the agent is currently doing with animations. You can also customize the virtual office however you want. Repo: github.com/pablodelucca...

oooh very cool badge 🙂‍↕️

TIL that Delta Emulator (and others) exist on iPhone after being Android exclusive for years due to APKs 🤯

Interesting, and it’s based on MLS, the same tech that powers RCS e2ee!
