@daringfireball I wrote something similar about the new prices. Youā€™re exactly right, it went from ā€œeh, might as well get one moreā€ to ā€œdo we even need one in the first place?ā€ really quickly! Percentage wise, Apple TV is a bigger price increase than going from iPhone Pro to Duo šŸ˜³

@gruber Please speak for yourself. As a man who likes to sit behind judges in the courtroom and think about car insurance, I found this ad tasteful and it really spoke to me.

One of my favorite things to do every September is sit down somewhere comfortable with a cup of coffee and read that yearā€™s iOS review by Federico Viticci. While most of the Apple conversation this year has been about everything else (iPhone Duo, new CEO, etc), Federico spends his time on the software itself. How it looks, how it works, and what it actually means for the people using it.

The whole thing is worth your morning, but his take on the new Siri AI is the part I keep thinking about. Heā€™s spent years building agentic workflows and really cool shortcuts at MacStories,...

@CJDenbow Hey, I found this post when I was setting up my own blog and just wanted to say that it really resonated with me. Iā€™ve bounced on and off of social media and maintaining a cumbersome website, and what you wrote really encapsulates what I wanted. A lighter, easier to maintain place for photos, travel, journals, whatever. And one that doesnā€™t take me out of the moment that Iā€™m in. So bravo. Iā€™m gonna keep your post bookmarked.
