Starting a YouTube channel about user experience – with a twist

[Alex Kan @alexkancom]

Amid Vista jokes and legibility concerns, the ‘liquid’ bit of the Apple’s ‘Liquid Glass’ redesign is getting overlooked. I’ve made a short to catch you up #Apple #WWDC25 #LiquidGlass

The foldable is coming

[Aaron @aaronp613]

iOS 27 also allows the Health and Fitness apps to run in landscape mode on iPhone.

[Alex Kan @alexkancom]

👀 Pencil mini for the foldable phone incoming?

[Aaron @aaronp613]

New in iOS 27: Apple has added a new iMessage app called “Drawing”

[Alex Kan @alexkancom]

@designbypepo They might introduce them with the new watches in September

[Alex Kan @alexkancom]

Here we go again. Remember when people thought that last year’s promo materials teased how Liquid Glass was going to look?

[Parker Ortolani @ParkerOrtolani]

that’s absolutely the new Siri animation right there

[Alex Kan @alexkancom]

We don’t get much sun in the UK, so need to take some time off not to miss the experience

[Andy Molitor @AndyMSFW]

someone from the UK explain this to me

[Alex Kan @alexkancom]

@AndrewHart As the Hardware VP, he had enough power to do something about it, if he wished

[Alex Kan @alexkancom]

Congrats to my best bud, John Ternus, on becoming the next #Apple CEO 🙌 Here’s us catching up in London, proper mates that we are.

(in the video, I’m next to John – as we’re good chums – just out of frame)

Learning regional British English makes me feel like Ryland Grace in #ProjectHailMary

Not a good sign for the future of the iPhone Air, innit 😬

[Joe Rossignol @rsgnl]

As spotted by @ihxrtlxy, Apple is offering 30% off (‼️) the iPhone Air on Amazon in the UK.

Pixel density has left the chat

[Ben Geskin @BenGeskin]

Studio Display XDR (27" 5K mini-LED 120Hz) for $3299 or 32" 4K OLED 240Hz for $899? 🤔

[Alex Kan @alexkancom]

@pwnies @MKBHD They’ve tried. Apple’d been investing in microLED since at least 2014, but it’s proven to be challenging to bring to consumer market

[Alex Kan @alexkancom]

It's telling that Birmingham (the UK's second biggest city) isn't considered even in fantasy scenarios 🥲

[Alexander @alexanderrX_]

london tech hype is cool but limiting it to london is a mistake. manchester, edinburgh, glasgow. all of these should be startup cities. give them a fast reliable rail connection, cash injection, tax breaks, and the uk becomes a genuine tech powerhouse. it’s not even that complicated. just do it.

[Alex Kan @alexkancom]

Not when it comes to monitors though 🫠

[Luke Miani @LukeMiani]

I fear we have entered the ‘Apple becomes value king’ stage of capitalism

[Alex Kan @alexkancom]

@soamjena @ilyamiskov Unlikely due to bandwidth limitations

[Alex Kan @alexkancom]

@avstorm You forgot to mention the tilt- and height-adjustable stand included in the Studio XDR

[Alex Kan @alexkancom]

@_notnotjake @BrandonButch It also got a TB5 downstream port for daisy-chaining or accessories

[Alex Kan @alexkancom]

@app_settings Nope, you can see even from the icons that’s not the case: it’s included in the XDR only

[Alex Kan @alexkancom]

@deestiv @akeltheartist Sinners is a horror film too 🙃

[Alex Kan @alexkancom]

~40% less screen space is not insignificant though

[Tim 🏳️‍🌈 @LuftkoppTim]

So we finally got a new XDR Display after 7 years!

And it's way cheaper?? From a minimum $5000 to $3300

Also a big jump in dimming zones. From 576 to now 2304.
That's still a bit less than the 16" MacBook Pro tho which comes with 2554 zones

[Alex Kan @alexkancom]

@mweinbach @adamwathan @tim_cook Absolute not the same panel, the Pro Display XDR wasn’t miniLED
