Next Apple Watch SE Could Be Made From Plastic

Apple used to sell a plastic ‌iPhone‌ 5c, for example, and it came in vibrant blue, yellow, pink, and green colors. Plastic would also better differentiate the ‌Apple Watch SE‌ from the standard Apple Watch models as the current ‌Apple Watch SE‌ is basically a modified version of the aluminum Apple Watch without the latest features.

I wonder if Apple could use 3D printing for the SE plastic case. There are rumors that Apple might use 3D printing in building devices. That could be it.

At the very least, I could reserve my username on Instagram and Threads, just in case. While maintaining strong principles is important, being open-minded and reasonable can also be valuable. May the night be beneficial. 😒

Something really BIG is coming to Craft: Objects. Thoughts?

The latest edition of my weekly creative summary is out! This is a jam pack one. Email version coming out soon to subscribers! Pass editions available here.

I always enjoy MKBHD’s videos, and this one about the Microsoft Surface ARM laptop is no exception. His views are well-balanced and feel honest. Now, about this specific lap, supposedly being fast with long battery life, great built quality and… a touch screen, certainly feels like a … read more

When one of my colleagues presents me with a text produced by ChatGPT (or any other comparable tools), I am sometimes astonished by what I read, but what interests me much more is the initial prompt that allowed the content to be produced. It helps put the results into context.

Apple results: big increase in services, big increase in iPad sales, increase in Mac sales, wearables sales in decline (AVP doesn’t move the needle, Watch in need of a reboot), China in decline. That’s pretty much it.

I’d like to try non-Apple mechanical keyboards because they look cool and they got stylish design but the problem with those third-party keyboards like Lofree is the lack of non-English language support.

Today is my mother’s 91st birthday. She passed away 18 months ago, but the memories of her remain vivid. This morning, my iPhone suggested a video memory highlighting cherished moments with her, which nearly brought me to tears. Time may have flown by, but my affection for her endures, even … read more

If I get it well, each iOS 18.1 beta release will be a few days later than each iOS 18.0 betas, provided that iOS 18.1 gets all the fixed and features in iOS 18.0, right? But public betas will be a week later for each iOS 18 branch release? Or iOS 18.1 branch will be devs only? Still with me? 🤪

If I set my iPad to use US English so that Apple Intelligence can do its magic, my iPhone is also set to use the same settings automatically. What?? What is going on here?

I want to use my iPad in full US English for Apple Intelligence testing but leave my iPhone alone so that I can use it in French Canadian is the old Siri stuff. 😳😔😡

I believe it could take anywhere from 12 to 18 months for Apple Intelligence to make its way to Canada and support the French Canadian language. (This text was originally written by me than processed by Apple Intelligence to make it more friendly). #appleintelligence

That’s interesting. #ipados181 #appleintelligence 🧐🤨😏

I am installing iPadOS 18.1 beta 1 on my iPad Pro right now because… just for text proofreading¹ and summarizing, it’s worth it. Most of my creative hobby happens to be done in English. Also, changing the device region (not the Apple ID region) to US is not a big deal. Finally, I don’t talk too often to Siri on my iPad (which I do in French on my iPhone, though).

So iOS 18.1 is a thing, after all. Well, as I live in Canada, I’m not going to set the region to English US on my phone¹. I rather wait and see other devs and YouTubers delve into this beta of Apple Intelligence and see how it goes. That should be fun and interesting.

Update: changing the region of the device doesn’t do much except for date formatting, temperature metric and dollars amount formatting. Oh, and if you set one device (iPad) to use one region, the other device (iPhone) will also use the same region. Why?

Is today’s world (AI models training, security, etc.), I wonder if site owners are well equipped with robots.txt as the only way to control who’s in and who’s out when it comes to deciding free and massive content consumption on their site.

There will not be an issue of my weekly creative summary newsletter this week, as I have been focused on another project. You can, of course, visit pass issues by visiting this index page! I hope you don’t mind!

I had a bug in one of my IFTTT applets that usually gets each post I share and stores it on Day One. The applet hasn’t run since July 7th, but I only found out today. Sadly, the IFTTT RSS feed service doesn’t keep a pointer of the last successful import. I’m not sure what to do to recover the posts that weren’t saved. 🤔😒

Who is the Micro.blog community manager, again? Thanks.

FYI: Synology Drive Client with macOS Sequoia aren’t going well at all together. Beware.
