“Get Ready for iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro” on Apple.com1, is this new, or was it available for the iPhone 14 launch last year? I find this to be a great way to limit frustration on the day the new iPhones will go on sale (tomorrow). 🤔
-
The new website feature enables anyone to build their iPhone order, including setting up the return of the older iPhone for a credit. In theory, on the day of availability, you’ll click “Buy”. ↩︎

Experimenting with reading my Micro.blog timeline in RSS mode with Reeder. It’s surprisingly very effective for catching up on the last 12 hours of posts. It is, in fact, more effective than reading past posts on the website.

Apple Wonderlust Event — My Initial Impressions
These are my impressions of Apple’s latest product announcements.
The mother nature segment was funny, and I smiled quite often. It was a great way to communicate their progress toward better environmental protection and reduced carbon footprint. Video production quality was top-notch. Aren’t tech press people tired of going to Apple Park to watch a movie?
Many comments during the presentation about the desire by Apple to see people go into their stores to buy and activate the new iPhones1.

First world problem: got this mic for my recordings (YouTube / Podcasts / ScreenFlow). Works fine. Now: how do I plug this into an iPhone 15 Pro with USB-C? 🤦🏻♂️ Can’t find an adapter with microphone support (many are audio out only…) 😔

And It’s the right time to take a screenshot 📸 of apple.com before it gets revamped and refreshed tomorrow with some new stuff. 👀

My Excitement About the Upcoming iPhones Explained
Here are some more details about my excitement for the next iPhone1.
Besides the camera upgrades, here is a short list of things I’m looking forward to with the next iPhones.
- I’m going to the Max. It’s the first Max model that I’m getting2.
- I expect better battery life than the iPhone 14 Pro Max3. I want a real all-day battery life for when I travel abroad.
- I never liked the current chrome finish of the Pro line (since the iPhone 12 Pro)4. I like the titanium finish of the Apple Watch. I can’t wait to see the tweaked version for the iPhone5.
- I’m ambivalent about the rumoured action button. I’ll want to configure it for the camera capture, but I want to keep the mute button.
- The always-on display… I’m not sure. My wife has an iPhone 14 Pro, she disabled the always-on display because of the battery drain. I’ll see with the Max.
- I’m curious about the grey version, but I will go either with a deep blue6 or the darkest one7.
- I love the Dynamic Island. My hope is to see wider adoption by developers.
- Finally, USB-C. Finally. 95% of the time, I charge my iPhone with MagSafe. It’s too convenient. On rare occasions, it will be handy to grab any normal USB-C cable and plug it in. As for transfer speed, I’m not in any use cases for this8.
I’ll catch you on the other side of the Wonderlust event.

Pixelfed Is Working on “Solo”
I’m really curious about this. The idea of having my personal instance of Pixelfed is tempting. I like the idea of having full control and not being at the mercy of some other admin, updating the codebase as I wish while being part of the Pixelfed federation1. It’s expected to be released on October 20th. I should start planning my domain name and username.2
-
Of course, other instance could decide to block mine, but that’s not going to happen, unless I’m being a bad actor in the federation. ↩︎

Why I’m Excited for This Week’s Apple Announcements
I’m super excited about this year’s iPhone announcements. It’s probably because I’m getting one of them1. I try to skip one or two iterations. I went from the iPhone 7 to the iPhone 11 Pro, then to the iPhone 13 Pro, and now the iPhone 15 Pro Max. I’m looking forward to these improvements: the cameras2 and battery life3. Sure, the Dynamic Island will be cool. Oh, and USB-C, finally4!

Episode 03 — I'm Excited and Stressed
This week, Apple will release its latest iPhone models. I’m excited. It will be an exercise of balance between news consumption, analysis and writing. It’s the perfect mix for a stressful week. 😟 Learn why in this podcast episode.

Feeling sad this morning 😥 about the consequences of the earthquake in Morroco. I’m trying to get news from our guide to see if he is ok. 🙏🏻
Early mornings are my favourite creative moments… everyone is asleep, and it is super quiet in the house. 😊👨🏻💻
I find it surprising and annoying that Apple’s PodcastsConnect doesn’t support… Sign in with Apple.1🤦🏻♂️

It means a new podcast episode is coming up soon! ↩︎
