People this was one year ago today and it's his birthday too so send best wishes to @spreen.co and, uh, if you're single and into dudes, idk just think about it

So far, iOS 26 has fixed the biggest amount of my feedback requests in the history of iOS releases.

Definitely a good year 🙌

…and still a long way to go 😃

it’s slow (ca. 5s) and wrong almost every time 🥹

On OSes 26, you'll be able to export your passwords, passkeys, and most of the data in your password manager to another compatible password manager. Your data is yours.

let array = [45, 12, 34, 78, 23, 54, 98, 76, 54, 32] print("Original: \(array)") Task { let sorted = await array.vibeSort(sortingDescriptor: "from smallest to highest pls") print("Sorted: \(sorted)") }

I built a small Swift Array Extension called “VibeSort” for the new iOS 26 Foundation Models:

(You’ll never have to guess again what areInIncreasingOrder actually means)

Just type what you want and the LLM will sort it out at runtime ;)

Events screen showing "Ready for Review" and "Archived" sections. Includes current events like "Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System" and "Friends of Fauna: Peafowl," plus past events such as "Friends of Fauna," "GAAD 2025," and "Earth Day 2025," each with unique images and details.

Really love the looks of the In-App-Events for The Art of Fauna! 🐢🦚🦤

My App Store Connect analytics tool is coming together nicely. There's so much more data available than ASC displays.

These are some of the best people you can ever meet. I’m so fortunate to call all of these my friends ❤️

See you in 2026. Mahlzeit❤️

The Art of Fauna just *WON* an Apple Design Award in the Inclusivity category. 🤯

But it is also a finalist for Social Impact. 💚
Two nominations, one win. I still can't believe this. What a year 🥹

Before WWDC, I’ll be two days in SF!

Anyone has good current food recommendations? 😃

endlich mal ein Gegenwartscheck wo ich nicht wütend gegen eine Laterne treten muss

Warum ist KI gleichzeitig so beeindruckend und so enttäuschend? Ich habe noch mal versucht eine Antwort zu formulieren auf diese Frage, die mich so umtreibt

www.zeit.de/2025/22/witz...

it is! @davidpierce.xyz and @pjvogt.bsky.social discuss anti-tech tech. i’m trying out @frederik.riedel.wtf’s one sec—which prompts you to do a short breathing exercise when you open addictive apps—and it seems to work well so far.

I’ve experienced this as well, it’s soooooo annoying!

Why would I subscribe to a channel if I don’t understand their videos? 😅

YouTube automatically translates and synchronizes videos now. It’s super annoying and in the browser there is no way to turn it off, there is no way for me to say “I know English don’t translate” and if I switch settings to English, all my German videos will be translated with a horrific AI voice

Is there any setting to prevent Finder from popping up when receiving something via AirDrop?

Especially from my own device?

TestFlight pls 😍

Can any of my Apple friends please fix this bug: FB14082790

It’s been haunting us for over a year now.

And there has been ZERO feedback coming back 😭

I have provided a sample project to reproduce and a video explaining the bug.

I would even fly to Cupertino to help the team reproduce this.

I would've thought that Apple Intelligence is such a big deal for them that they go all in and make it as easy as possible to adopt…🥹

is there really no simple way to make a SwiftUI TextField allow Genmoji input?

I have to bridge over some UIKit stuff??

Spotify is down, I’m glad I still have some bangers on disk in my iTunes library

no way that’s gonna end up in iOS 18.5

Viel zu viel Wasser Brudi

Are there any release notes for the iOS 18.5 beta?

These four tiny bug fixes can’t be it, no?

How to fix social media?

While we still work hard to understand the exact problems we are facing, many people are also already working on solutions. I wanted to highlight some directions that I was lucky enough to be involved in (thread):

🐻‍❄️✅

Anyone else having issues that the Xcode branch picker is stuck spinning after switching branches?

Nice, I’ve changed my bluesky handle to my website’s domain 🥰

I think the delay is only visible on devices that support Apple Intelligence
