One more thought (or better said like “hope”) about Apple’s HomeView: I hope Apple will iterate faster with new software updates for the HomeView than with its other hobby: the Apple TV. I don’t expect a new App Store, but…

Of all Apple’s HomeView reviews that I watched, very few are covering Siri AI interactions with the device. I find this surprising as this was believed to be the main way of interacting with it prior to its official launch. Now that we learned about Siri AI capabilities with iOS 27, it has become a secondary subject for the HomeView. Many tech pundits prefer discussing the weird state of its operating software, something that might not be important for the end users.

What else to do in an airport than to check MacBook Pro configurations and delivery times? 🥸 I’m hesitant to go with the 2TB of storage as I look at my current usage on both the M2 MacBook Air and M4 Mac mini, I still manage to have 375 GB of free space out of my 1 TB configurations. I really should future proof this upgrade but ouch, it’s pricey. 🫣🥴

Well, everything comes to an end. Now entering the 20+ hour flight schedule divided by a small excursion in Istanbul, Turkey (if all goes according to plan). I can’t wait to start processing my photos, which I’ll do while flying.

Well, you might have seen a few images of a troubled sea coming from my Glass page as we are going through some rough weather on our way to Bangkok. All activities are cancelled. We even had one overboard case last night. 😳 It ended up well, the person was rescued after staying afloat in the ocean for two long hours. 🛟

Entering the final stretch of our trip to South Asia, now heading to Bangkok. I’m planning to visit the Apple Store there since our hotel is less than fifteen minutes away by walk. It does look impressive from Apple’s own website. Can’t wait.

Fuck yeah: AI should kill cross-platform platforms:

React and Electron made sense in a world where code was expensive and duplicating the same work on multiple platforms was tons of effort. React and Electron allowed you to save time, which was valuable to companies, and frankly, to those on smaller platforms (don’t get me started on how much software form the past decade runs on the Mac only because Electron made it easy to do so).

AI coding makes code cheap, so now there’s less benefit to having reusable code. In this world, if writing native apps gives a better experience and AI coding agents make it easy to implement what you want across all platforms, then you may as well write native. After all, you’re asking your agent to create the actual code, anyway. How hard is it to add “make it for the iOS and Android projects” at the end of the promot?

Matt is on something here: there is no reason to build apps on multi-platform technologies like Electron. I hope to see those technologies disappear in the short term.

What 20$ AI monthly subscriptions can buy?

I keep seeing signs that using AI is becoming more and more expensive: reduced tokens budget for the same pricing might be a trend now.

As someone who’s pondering whether I can and should buy a Mac to develop native apps on it with Claude Code, this trend makes me pause a little bit. Hardware is now very expensive and if you add more pricing pressure on AI subscription this adds up.

One question that comes to my mind is: what capabilities a 20$ a month subscription of Claude buys me when developing native iPhone apps?
