a quick bio because why not eh?
After quickly prodding around macOS Tahoe beta on my M2 Mac mini - wow I 100% need a new monitor.
I already discussed this a bit, but it’s def more apparent here more than anything else. Liquid Glass just doesn’t “pop” the same way lol… maybe in a few months hopefully🤞

you can kinda see here (although colours aren't like this irl - just my iPhone picking it up like this
I've had this one for like nearly 4 years I...

Hey! Where’s iPodOS 26?!
#AppleEvent 

Gonna update my M2 Mac mini (8/256) to the Tahoe RC. I prev said I’ll reinstall the whole OS when Tahoe drops, but it looks pretty complicated, so ima reinstall it on the 15th when the official thing drops so that the macOS Recovery mode will just download the latest… hopefully this won’t be slow!
I really like the sage green iPhone 17 base model tbh
I’m torn between getting a new Apple Watch to replace my previous one, or upgrading from my AirPods 2nd gen (I’ve had for over 4yrs atp).
Apple Watch was pretty useful for notifs, etc.. but the 3rd gen AirPods Pro can do HR - will have to think about this lol
ANC seems rlly cool and I wanna use it!
Now we watch our social feeds be filled with iPhone 17 this, that, etc.. for a week lol
Well, Apple Event just ended. Just finished my spam, posting spree on Bluesky and Threads!
Curious what people will say their fav things are. I’m a pretty big fan of the AirPods Pro 3 tbh. Idk how I feel about the 17 Air/Pros, but it’s also nice that the base model got a 120Hz display.

The music on the Apple Event stream is pretty nice lol

was discussing this with a friend earlier, iPhone “17” just sounds off lol… 16 and 18 just sound better :P
other odd numbers kinda work, like the iPhone 15, but idk I’m not sold lmaoo
Why are loading screens on pages always white?! I don’t wanna be blinded every time I open my phone at night 🥲
I’d appreciate some links for apps that are on TestFlight with Liquid Glass! Open to test!
Rn I’m only on about 2, and all others don’t have Liquid Glass lol
#iOS26 #wwdc
one of the rare times i went on Reddit, but got an email and the title caught my attention, this setup is soo cool.. idk why they count a 2021 MBP as an old laptop but the idea is cool.. sadly to get any sort of similar performance with decent models the hardware still costs quite a lot :/ https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1n8n9u6/converted_my_unused_laptop_into_a_family_server/
pretty cool yt video from a smaller creator. shame that current network providers don’t work with the original iPhone, but the rest of it is actually pretty surprising imo
There’s something kind of satisfying about reporting feedback from iOS 26 lol. Feels like we are actually possibly helping improve the OS? (but it’s still buggy af lol)
For some reason there were a ton of seagulls lining up like this, not sure what they were doing, funny to watch though

The estimated time to (x%) charge feature on iOS 26 is nice
Anyways I’m gonna leave this plugged in for a bit whilst it keeps processing whatever it needs to for the update in the background and I’ll do some work 😭 (or try.) 

Even with all the bugs, #iOS26 is super fun to play with, I’d never be able to go back to non-Liquid Glass now lol

(it’s so buggy since I only just installed the beta on my iPhone 16 from iOS 18 lol.)
