I rewatched Apple’s Surprise and Shine event today and found the iPhone Duo segment really good. In fact, the device seems to have a magical touch. Even though it doesn’t make sense, I would love to get a foldable iPad. I would love an iPad mini when folded and a large iPad when unfolded. While I wait for such a device, I would gladly use the new multitasking gesture to put two apps side by side on my current iPad Pro. Apple, I hope you get the message.
According to my Micro.blog timeline, it appears that Sunday is the busiest day for creative people and I love it. From vibe coding, blogging to photography, everyone seems happy creating and sharing their little digital bits to the universe. Keep it coming guys!
Watched: Dark Matter S1E4, The Corridor 📺 One thing that bothers me in this episode is the author’s obvious confusion between time & space travel and alternate universes at a specific time. I would prefer the latter. Maybe I’m missing something here.
Took this photo last night during a short walk while I was still testing the iPhone 18 Pro Max’s photo capabilities against my previous 15 Pro Max. I’m not sure what to think about those visual artifacts. The star shape is likely from blades in the main camera, but what about the other lens flares? I was using manual aperture at f1.48. 🤔🧐
Watched: Dark Matter S1E3, The Box 📺 Third episode. I’m slowly getting there and understanding what is happening. Looking forward to the next episode. I prefer one version of the main character over the other. But I’ll keep it to myself for now. 🤫🤐
The upgrade from the Ubiquiti Dream Router to a pair of UniFi Express 7 units is now complete. The process is similar to upgrading to a new iPhone and uses the previous router configuration backup. Overall, two Wi-Fi 7 devices meshed together offer better house coverage and support the latest Wi-Fi standards. The Ubiquiti Network UI is also much faster to work with.
I went to the Apple Store today to see the iPhone 18 Pro in other colours. Burgundy is much darker than I expected, but not as bad as I was expecting. The light blue could have been my first choice because it’s really nice. The nuances vary depending on the lighting. It’s a great one. I’m still happy with my silver 18 Pro Max, though.
I decided to upgrade my Ubiquiti Dream Machine Router (acquired in 2020) and Beacon HD to a pair of Unifi Express 7. I should be getting this today. I can’t wait to set this up (hopefully I’ll restore my settings from my backup).
I like this image of my new iPhone. Straight but true to the device’s simplicity.
Apple Will Soon Announce an All-New Operating System:
homeOS would join iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS.
😱
