I learned Objective-C and developed iPhone apps from 2009 to 2013, and I believe my experience would have been greatly enhanced by generative AI. Continue reading →

Is Apple about to get another “Apple Silicon moment” with the C1 modem in the iPhone 16e? I think so. A 24% power consumption reduction for the same performance level is significant in my book.

Wondering about using other generative AI services beyond ChatGPT. Looking for recommendations. Continue reading →

I’m currently testing OpenAI Deep Research on two very specific subjects. So far, I’m quite impressed, not only about the end-results but also with the progress status report during the researching phase. It’s a great way to start looking into specific domains, and it gives many hints as to what to look for. Coupled with OpenAI Canvas, this is a powerful tool for a writer like me. What a great time to be alive to test those things and see how I can take advantage of all this to be a better human. Continue reading →

Using the new Reeder.app∗ to read content from some Bluesky users I follow is a rather surprisingly good experience. Quote posts, replies are all beautifully rendered, like you could expect from Reeder’s developer.

Thought of the moment: eliminating the cease in the foldable iPhone is certainly a differentiating factor, but reducing the thickness of any upcoming foldable iPhone is another one, and the solution might reside in the upcoming iPhone 17 Air. All addressed challenge to make the iPhone 17 Air as thin as possible, it’s a step forward to a thinner foldable iPhone.

Best call from Apple. They had no choice but to leave, otherwise their credibility would have been questioned.

Will Apple release iOS 18.4 beta 1 the same day as the just announced iPhone16e? 🧐

I find it amusing that Apple releases a new iPhone member with Tim Cook and keep pitching Apple Intelligence as a breakthrough. Are VPs at Apple aware that Apple Intelligence is far behind everybody else and that it still in early beta? Do the engineering teams ever get poked by VPs as to where they are in their journey to bring real generative AI to Apple users? 🤭

What? HP is buying Humane remains? HP? The leader in generative AI looking for a modern, lightweight and nifty dedicated AI device to hum along their AI backend services? Silicon Valley is hard to decipher at times.

Apple is set to unveil a strategically priced new iPhone tomorrow, alongside anticipated developments in its cellular modem technology. Should I be excited? Continue reading →

The Rotten Side of Tim Cook’s Apple: Should I write a take 2 to this piece published in 2020? I think so.

First, Tim gives his money to this orange clown and dictator and assist the presidential circus inauguration and now Apple resumes advertising on X? This is not the Apple that I want. 😡

With a secret request by the UK government for a backdoor in iCloud, can you imagine if it was to be granted and then later down the line something like what’s happening in the US is taking over the government and institutions happen? It is hard to comprehend what is happening every day these days.

Apple told the developers that building an iPad was a matter of clicking a checkbox (more or less). Now, why is Apple Sports, Apple Journal and more recently, Apple Invites are not optimized for the iPad? 🤨🤷🏻‍♂️ Continue reading →

Quite positive experience with Apple Invites so far. I feel they move the needle and bring a much more enjoyable experience compared to other similar offerings. Nice user interface visual language. It feels new and very Apple. I like it. Is it something that preclude what is coming up with iOS 19?

Apparently, the EU get porn apps, but we get Apple Intelligence. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Great article from Adam Engst comparing Grammarly to Apple Intelligence Writing tools. It’s ironic that a third-party software brings better integration, less friction to the writing experience than Apple’s first-party offering.

I think that every single day that I’m working on a Mac I tell myself: “What a joy is this working with this”.

We are solely responsible for the concentration of power in the hands of a few large tech companies. As individuals, we granted all that power to these megacorporations, which, at one point, were not yet large corporations. Thinking otherwise is ludicrous.
