here’s a demo of Sound Glow on the HomePod mini 2! the light moves around the surface and changes its brightness based on what’s happening also, if the album art has multiple colors, it uses a different color for each voice/instrument- pretty cool! (ps: the flickering and bright highlights in some parts of the video are only because of the camera it actually looks evenly lit irl- 0:05 is the closest to what it’s actually like irl)

kinda interesting how Priority Notifications went from having a background, to having a glow, to becoming just a regular notification with a Priority label on it lol, i wonder what happened

i just remembered this concept i made over two years ago in the time since, Apple’s given iOS a button above the keyboard to paste whatever you copied, but still no clipboard history…
hear me out: clipboard history on iPhone

it’s kinda funny how my Apple Watch has the same amount of storage as seven “current” iPhone models lol the iPhone 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, iPhone 12, 12 mini, and iPhone SE 2 and SE 3 all started at 64GB storage and also support iOS 27

for the first few days i had it, my Apple Watch was always below 20% by the time i went to plug it in but now that it’s done optimising, i can go a whole 24 hours with 50-75% left lol (AOD and stuff are all on, and i even wear it to bed on most days) genuinely insane

very interesting how Google’s finally begun adding Liquid Glass to its iOS apps except every single app has a different design lol

Apple: *makes a system of design components so apps look consistent* Google and Meta devs for some reason:
so interesting to see how apps handle liquid glass transparency differently

Theater Mode on the Apple Watch is so clutch (it silences notifications and turns off your always on display so the watch doesn’t distract you while you’re at the movies or watching a play) i love Apple’s quality-of-life features so much lol

people need to chill about the Action Button lol Apple isn’t REMOVING it, they’re just reassigning it to the Camera Control button so pressing Camera Control opens the Camera, and long pressing it triggers the Action Button, just like it’s always worked you’d know this if you read the first sentence of the article 😭
