the best feature of Siri AI is 100% alarm management.

A screenshot showing Siri AI saying “I’ve updated your alarms to be eight minutes apart, ending at 10:00 AM.” Each alarm is in fact 8 minutes apart, starting at 9:36 AM and ending at 10:00 AM. The clock app is in the background showing that the changes made are real.

i spent 40 minutes trying to make a widget that would open a video for a friend’s iphone. the new create shortcut via ai helped but not enough since it would open up the file name, not the file itself. #iOS #iPhone #iOS27

A bubble that says “Try describing something different for the shortcut.”

A screenshot of the New Shortcut screen. It says “Play specific video”. There’s a bar that says “Describe a shortcut..”

Jacob in #AbbottElementary S5 E6: No Phones, proudly using an Android phone with RCS 🫡 The same episode he also mentions Bluesky 😂

Jacob's hand holding a Pixel 9 Pro, which shows the Best Spuds group chat. He sent two messages. The first one is an image of a potato happily stepping. The second is a message saying "You guys! Just in case you haven't heard -- The Supreme Court handed down its decision in Idaho Department of Water Resources vs. U.S. Bureau of Reclamation!"

Watching #AbbottElementary and I see a computer running NOT Windows 👀 Time to play what distro is this....

An IT guy is fixing the computer, via the terminal, with Jacob from Abbott Elementary talking to him happily. The computer is running some Linux distribution.

A field of purple flowers under a cloudy sky. The flowers are tall and slender with small purple buds. In the distance, there are green hills and a hazy sky.

The colour science of iMessage bubbles is truly hostile. The real reason I think people have issues with the green is because it’s not as legible. The contrast levels seem lower for white on neon green, versus white on iMessage blue. #iPhone #iOS #iMessage

A green iMessage bubble saying “for what”.

- the post, followers and following buttons having different backgrounds is a bit weird. i get that the other two are buttons, but something is missing 🙃 - super happy to have the draft feature here! - not sure about locking dm creation to pro. - the stats features are a nice differentiator.

Small feedback thread on @getskyscraper.com :) - feels very native, super nice. - missing the + for additional thread post while making a post, so i couldn’t actually make this in skyscraper lol - the buttons being both grey, blue and sometimes filled/not filled feels a bit inconsistent

Using it to generate a baseline alt-text for my iPhone 17 article and it’s great, discussing parts of the image that I didn’t actually notice until I zoomed in. #iOS #Shortcuts #iPhone

There’s something about @zed.dev that I really like but I can’t figure it out. It just feels light. I do use the AI integration, but I also really love being able to just turn it all off from a single toggle. #Programming #IDE

I followed @codewithbeto.dev’s video on making a React Native/Expo Pokédex, and with a bit of extra polishing with FlatList, it actually looks really nice. It’s my ever first React Native project. In the future maybe I’ll add more features :) github.com/sjlua/pokede... #ReactNative #Expo #Coding

A smartphone screen displays a grid of pixelated Pokémon labeled with their names and types. The top row features Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur, each with a grass and poison type. The second row shows Charmander, Charmeleon, and Charizard, with fire and flying types. The third row includes Squirtle, Wartortle, and Blastoise, all with water types. The bottom row presents Caterpie, Metapod, and Butterfree, with bug and flying types. The background is a gradient of teal and blue, and the bottom navigation bar has icons for Dex, Search, My Partner, and App Info.
