I've been letting my kid watch movies on my iPad in the car, and his reactions to the playback control buttons in different streaming apps are hilarious. Apple TV: "Why does it have a bubble?" Disney+: "Why is it so small?" I didn't realize I was raising a tiny UI design critic.
My child's love of reading is due in no small part to the anticipation of receiving a new book in the mail every month from Mrs. Dolly. She's touched countless people through her talent, but it's the endlessness of her giving that I'll remember most. May we each strive to love others so well.
I've never done the "some personal news" thing before, but here we go: Yesterday was my last day at MacStories. I loved getting to write and edit for a website that meant so much to me, and saying goodbye isn't easy, but I have a lot to be thankful for.

Is Riding the Beta Train Worth the Fare?
We are now firmly in the middle of beta season, moving ever further away from WWDC and closer to this fall’s much-anticipated OS updates and potential new hardware. With the various platform betas now publicly available, you may be wondering if it’s time for you to board the beta train. Apple sees the software as

Confession: I've been using the Clear app icon appearance for a year now, and I don't think I can ever go back.
Happy Public Beta day! To celebrate, I've got a preview of visionOS 27, including custom panorama Environments, curved multi-tab browsing in Safari, and what it's like to have Siri AI floating in the room with you. You can read all about it on MacStories: www.macstories.net/stories/vi...
visionOS 27: The MacStories Beta Preview
Summer beta season is in full swing, with a new wave of testers coming aboard via the just-released public OS 27 betas. While visionOS hasn’t ever been included in the public beta program, now is as good a time as any to check in on visionOS 27. What’s it like living with the features Apple

That long list of platform improvements at WWDC grabbed my attention and hasn't let go. It got me thinking about my earliest experiences with Apple software and how we might be returning to the past – in a good way. My latest in the Club MacStories Monthly Log: www.macstories.net/club/month...
“It Just Works” Is the Feature
I got my first Mac as a graduation gift in 2010. It was a MacBook Pro – silver, since that was the only color available at the time – with a 13” glossy screen and a CD drive. Its operating system? Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. The timing couldn’t have worked out more in

Apple Highlights New Services Features Coming This Fall
As much as I love the keynote, one of the parts of WWDC I look forward to the most each year is Apple’s roundup of features and changes coming to its services alongside the fall’s OS updates.

Siri AI and the Latest in Apple Intelligence: The MacStories Overview
The big question coming into today’s WWDC keynote was what Apple would have to offer in terms of AI – or, as the company refers to it, Apple Intelligence. Given Apple’s behind-the-scenes struggles, delayed features, and partnership with Google to re-architect its Foundation Models based on Gemini, expectations were high, and the company delivered with

My state added support for IDs in the Wallet app a week before I had to renew my license, but I threw caution to the wind and tried it anyway. I'm currently at the DMV, and the Wallet app notified me that my ID was updated before the new card was even finished printing. This system actually works?

The iPhone Air Tradeoff I Didn’t Expect
When rumors were swirling about an ultra-thin phone from Apple in anticipation of the iPhone Air’s announcement last fall, there was a stock list of reasons why the device might not appeal to mass audiences: Its thin design would leave less space for battery capacity and thus lead to shorter battery life.

Tonight's episode of Rooster on HBO gave me the rare gift of a true, deep, unhindered belly laugh. So glad I decided to give this show a try.
This is disappointing. 😕 What a wonderfully weird show Palm Royale was. I loved every episode, and I still think it's worth a watch even though it won't get a proper ending. 9to5mac.com/2026/03/02/apple-...

The Surprising Longevity of the M1
You’ve heard it said before: Apple devices last longer than products from other tech companies. Both in terms of their reliability and their software support, iPhones, iPads, Macs, and the like have a reputation for their longevity, and it’s well earned.
