I'm sorry, Instagram, you're not allowed to hijack this user interaction in this way. It's one thing to delay a tap, it's another to halt a scroll. It's a UX bridge too far. https://spyglass.org/cut-the-bullshit-instagram/

And so they have to continue to partner with a partner with which they’re increasingly at odds. While that partner also partners with other partners which will put the two sides even more at odds. It’s all quite odd. ⭕️🔒

As we’ve learned time and time again throughout the history of technology, it’s not good enough to have the best technology, you need to make it sing. AI is no different. Nor is Apple. 🍎⭕️🔒 https://spyglass.org/apple-ai/

New iPad looks great -- but also a bit ridiculous. Bending over backwards to make a touch laptop without making a touch Mac. (Inner Ring ⭕️) https://spyglass.org/the-ipad-macbook-pro/

Currently banned on Threads. No idea why. So, hello.

Apple messed up with the timing of the Vision Pro launch. They should have let it bake for another year. Consumers, developers, and even Apple would have benefitted. https://spyglass.org/vision-pro-launch-disaster/

Free idea for Apple to announce any would-be AI partnership at WWDC. Just think back 15 years... Boom. https://spyglass.org/apple-openai-iphone/

Apple's perhaps not totally out of touch with their dug-in positions around App Store policies in the face of immense regulatory pressure. They *need* the Services revenue to keep growing. It's the only meaningful element of the business that still is... https://spyglass.org/apple-antitrust-fight/

Obviously very unlikely, but what if Apple did just say "C Ya" to the EU... https://spyglass.org/apple-eu/

Apple Introduces Sweeping App Store Changes to Ensure the Status Quo is Maintained
