The new Lock Screen. Diggin’ it.

I’ve never purchased an Apple iPhone case because they’re just too darned expensive for what you get. I have a couple of custom cases from Syd Cases and a couple Unicorn Beetle cases.

They do the job I intended for them to do, they protect my $1,000+ investment.

If I decide to get an iPhone 15 I’m totally buying a FineWoven case just so I can enjoy all the ugly marks it gets. I don’t mind them and I miss the olden days of aluminum iPhone bodies that scratched and wore over time. My iPhone 7 is a perfect example and I love the way it looks.

Maybe we can convince Apple to abandon Xi charging on the low end models and go to 100% USB C charging with a change back to an aluminum body? 🤣

I’d welcome it.

NetNewsWire Blog: “Our mission is to make the best RSS reader that we like making. We value stability, high performance, clarity, and lots of figurative air and space rather than a mélange of features.”

I love how Brent and the NNW team hold true to what they believe – and what they want – a feed reader to be.

If you haven’t checked out NNW you really should, it’s a great product.

MacRumors: ‘because it “opens the door for ‘Pro’ applications to come to ‌iPad‌."’

I picked that bit of a sentence from the article because it’s complete B.S. If folks want to bring Pro apps to the iPad they have the means to do it today on their Mac. Having Xcode on an iPad won’t magically make that any better. The Mac is the perfect tool for building Professional Mac and iOS apps.

Xcode on iPad would be fine. I can’t personally see using an iPad as my primary development machine. Mainly because I like using a bigger display for development. My 15in MacBook Pro display is about as small as I’d like to use.

If I could set the iPad on a stand of some sort, hook it up to my full size keyboard, mouse, and 24in display? That is something that may work.

We’re getting closer to that day, we’re just not quite there.

Do all Apple related podcasters believe every nerd carries around the latest greatest iPhone?

I’m a professional iOS software developer. Have been since 2009. Prior to that I made my living writing Windows and Linux based video viewing workstations. Prior to that I worked on a an extremely popular Windows desktop drawing and diagramming software. I’m approaching 30-years as a pro.

I carry an iPhone 7.
