Smart Script for iPadOS 18 is going to make me think I can handwrite notes and draw again isn’t it?
Bring back the iPod nano
This new iPad Pro ad on Instagram just makes me wish Apple made a new iPod nano.
Airpods constant mute and unmute message
Are we all getting this alert over and over and over again every time we use AirPods?
Mac shortcut to auto quit Apple Music
Created a Shortcut on my Mac just to quit Apple Music every time it opens and open Spotify instead.
It’s not that I hate Apple Music that much, it’s just I constantly click the play/pause on my Airpods after a work call meaning to restart podcast/music on my iPhone. Be nice if Apple would let us configure that behavior. (I know, I know.)
Apple announces new iCloud storage tiers
Since it’s not my upgrade year, 6 and 12 terabyte iCloud plans my most impactful Apple announcement of the day. Been at like 1.95 TB for months and had to clean a bunch of stuff off kids’ iPads to get there.
24 hours left
I am a little over 24 hours from being able to punt the client MacBook that is constantly a baffling and frustrating complete disaster to use into the FRIGGIN’ SEA.
(I am an approximately 6 hours from anything resembling a sea, the commute will be worth it.)
“You shut me down… No I shut myself down! ”
I’ve never had a Mac that caused me any troubles, this client laptop is so loaded with unnecessary corporate garbage that it’s constantly freaking out, shutting down, beach balling. After two years I finally get to send it back in a month. ?
(I actually like the project/client, but this laptop has been such a beating for so, so long.)
Remembering Alex Hay
Alex Hay, developer of the super useful Toolbox Pro iOS app, has passed away after a battle with cancer. MacStories has a nice tribute to Alex that’s worth a read and touches on his impact on the Apple automation community.
Apple lets you preload so much of the iPhone preorder process, including payment via Apple Card, that it took less than 10 seconds to preorder my new phone and case this morning.
I ordered an iPad mini before Thanksgiving and didn’t get it until mid January. Supply chain issues definitely an impact.
