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.

😱

This is where I prefer to place my finger for a comfortable grip on the device. We might call this the camera plateau’s positive byproduct.

Interesting fact: since iOS 27 and Siri AI, my use of non Apple AI services dropped close to zero for answering mundane questions. Integration within apps plays a major role in this change.

First photowalk today with my iPhone 18 Pro Max. The main camera produces new visual artifacts: the dot is well known, but the weird shape is new. Thankfully, Apple Intelligence can easily remove these, especially in that image. Yet… 😔 you can see the removal of these using Apple Intelligence here.

My dictation success on the 18 Pro Max is not very good, a real regression compared to my 15 Pro Max. Dictation often stops in the middle or comes up with missing word. I don’t know how to explain this. Very disappointed. 😔

Impressed. Coming from an iPhone 15 Pro Max. 😬

It’s fun to see developers share their first screenshots as they try running their apps on the iPhone Duo simulator for the first time… it goes from great to… utterly weird.

Such a great day outside, so I’m taking my coffee outside the house on the entrance, just in case the UPS truck shows up with my iPhone 18 Pro Max! 👀

This is the first year in a long time that I’ll gladly tell people to upgrade ASAP to Apple’s OS 27. Better Liquid Glass design, rock-solid stability, and noticeably faster performance? That’s enough to make me look like a hero. 🤣
