Remember when someone mentioned about the Camera app being redesigned for iOS 27 with customisable widgets, and got some screenshots mocked up as a ‘scoop’

Fun times

@WarnerCrocker Thank you Warner!

This week has mostly been preparation for #WWDC, but after using iOS 26.5 for the past week, I’ve gathered up some thoughts.

App Picks is back on @springboard.

Featuring @soapboxsoftware's Indigo, a chat with @BenRiceM all about it, as well as others like PageTurn, PureMac, and more.

Never take anything at face value.

Unfortunately, when I see the words, ‘I just made an app’ in a post, I now have to double check if it’s been made with AI.

Such a shame.

Nothing unusual about it.
It's not a good update.

But, also: Go on TikTok and Reels, and many teens are saying the same thing. It's a trend that's certainly growing in that age range. It makes a difference.

I've been having a nightmare with Safari these past few weeks.
It becomes a big memory hog - to the point where typing in the address bar is a 5-second delay.

Anyone else having this?

@fesshole Sounds like something that Jay from The Inbetweeners would say.

Some observations from yesterday:

A lot of hypocrisy here. After seeing a lot of justified criticism to Apple and Tim Cook this year, I saw it disappear due to an orange iPhone and a series of overexcited posts.

The improved hardware means almost nothing, as it's going to be used on software that's nowhere near ready.

The iPhone Air is not called the iPhone 17 Air. There's also an iPhone 16e. The lineup is now as confused as the iPad has been for years.

Apple is seemingly honoring T*ump even more by bringing out an Orange iPhone later today.

Get ready for the Truth Social post.

I’d add to @gruber’s good piece here, that the fact Apple Intelligence *turns itself back on* with every new software update is a terrible look in every sense.

I've been using Shareshot on Mac for a while now, and it's fantastic.
It would have been a lifesaver back at iMore when I'd create banner images.

Stay classy, New Apple

There's going to be a Siri Plus in June isn't there.

It makes too much sense for Apple's Services division.

Ah no.
