As pointed out by @Sonikku_a2, if you’re wearing a mask, iOS 13.5 goes straight to the passcode screen if you try to unlock with Face ID (keypad not shown because iOS hides it in screen recordings)
Personal news: I’m leaving my part-time job and becoming a full-time indie! Many of you who are reading this are likely part of what made this possible, so thank you very much for your support. Look forward to new things coming later this year 👀
You can use your Apple ID on a 1st-gen iPhone even if it has 2FA enabled. iPhoneOS 3.1 instructs you to append the code to the end of your password, and it works. 🤯
So, about those marketing images: they came from the recap section of the special event website. I used the URL pattern from the last event and guessed the device’s names. Apple took them down immediately after we published.
Me using my 16” MacBook Pro after using the M1 MacBook Air exclusively for a good while:
- Why is this so hot?
- Why is this so slow?
- Damn thing is heavy
- What’s this noise? (Oh, right, the fan…)
I’m happy to see Apple hasn’t given up on integrating cool 3D animations for devices in its UI. This one will be used to teach about the new features in AirPods Pro.
You can take some pretty cool product shots with iPhone using the ultra wide lens and slomo. I used the side of the MacBook Pro to support my thumb so that it would look like it was shot on a slider.
Back in August, Apple locked me out of my developer account, preventing me from updating my apps on the App Store.
They didn’t provide any explanation or reason, and since then I’ve reached out to them many times, without success.

The fact that it doesn’t even get a new model code makes me think that the rumors about a redesign were right, but something went south at too late of a time to be fixed, and they had to improvise.

So apparently the way Apple found to hide SwiftUI (Amber) from the eyes of curious engineers was to implement it in a framework called “TimerSupport” lol
ALT Image shows a screenshot of a macOS error message saying "You can't open the application 'ARM64APP' because it is not supported on this type of Mac. "On this type of Mac" is highlighted.
Stanford is releasing its “Developing Applications for iOS using SwiftUI” course (CS193p) on YouTube. This is a great resource for programmers who want to get started with iOS development: piped.video/watch?v=jbtqIBpU…
AirTags have a user-replaceable coin cell battery that Apple says should last for about a year. There’s a little tutorial on iOS teaching you how to perform the delicate operation.
🧵 Thoughts on iOS sideloading. Apple (and people who defend Apple no matter what) make it out as being a big deal that’s going to completely destroy the security of the platform and harm a huge number of innocent users. The reality is way less exciting… 1/
I’d say even this stretched out version of Instagram on iPad, without any special considerations, is better than using the iPhone app on iPad as it is right now. (paging @MKBHD)
The launch screen cache on iOS can be a pain when you want to quickly iterate while creating a new launch screen in a storyboard. Today I learned how to fix that 😄

Fun fact about iOS apps on M1. When you quit them with ⌘Q, it’s like swiping back to the Home Screen: they keep running in the background until they finish their background tasks. To really kill them (the equivalent to swipe up in the App Switcher), you have to use Force Quit.
