Going into 2026, I intend to ditch most apps that don’t follow the iOS 26 app UI guidelines. There are plenty of just critiques of Liquid Glass but those apps do cleverly implement it are far more enjoyable to use than those that don’t. And those that don’t even try are going to fall behind.

I don’t see many people praising iPhone 17 Pro battery life the way it deserves. It’s the very first “battery phone” iPhone and everybody focuses on the orange color and the plateu … Got the US version in NYC when I was there for @farcaster dev day and I am so glad I did! These SIM-only models easily match iPhone 16 Pro Max battery life! I can’t even imagine how long lasting the battery of 17 Pro Max must be.

I’ve been playing with my Air Pods and the Japanese translation features and it’s meh. I can definitely watch the news if I’m in a room with no other noise and I can put my phone right next to the speaker. Newscasters are also really good at speaking clearly :) I tried it on a tour and it didn’t work at all. I ended up using Notta and transcribing the Japanese and them hoping over to ChatGPT to translate. I ran out of Notta real time translation credits quickly. Whisper was good except it stopped working when I changed apps which was annoying. Notta would keep working in the background but wow did it use a lot of data. If Apple can get to the level of the transcription apps, it could really be something one day. Right now it still feels like a buggy beta.

iPhone with Touch ID can still be found regularly used in the wild. Could be iPhone SE 3rd generation. Regardless Apple hardware gets longtime use. Many still use MacBook pros with the touchbar. That’s hardware holding up for 6+ years. Incredibly resilient hardware.

Having tested Orion a little bit, it seems like a pretty solid Safari replacement. I'm a Brave user and so it's not what I'm used to, but I can see how folks would like this super modern approach. Here's some screenshots. Assuming they post in the order I placed them, they should depict: 1. Regular view (sidebar collapsed) 2. Sidebar expanded 3. Reader Mode (Not the default: I changed the font to New York, increased font size and widened the page wrap size) 4. Focus Mode (strips away all menus)
