I’ll be taking a break from Twitter.

@rsgnl I also went from the 11 Pro to the 14 Pro and I couldn’t agree more. In some ways it’s a step backwards as it’s less comfortable to hold and harder to use with one hand

[Abel Demoz @demozabel]

@sama For one…

[Kelly Vaughn @kvlly]

I… don’t think that’s how you’re supposed to play.

@engineering_bae Let’s play a game of poker with really high stakes

It has already been 2 years since the first Apple Silicon Macs were released 🤯

@TerribleMaps Pretty sure a fish didn’t draw this map

@jack The web is a user-hostile environment. Native apps provide a better user experience than web apps. I think a more sensible solution is to more tightly regulate the duopoly of app stores we currently have.

If the reports of Apple expressing interest in buying Manchester United are true, I look forward to seeing what the acquisition means for Ted Lasso.

@9to5mac @ChanceHMiller Epic Systems, not Epic Games.

@meggsila Xcode, SwiftUI, GitHub. Any other answer is insane.

Musk fans think he is an infallible genius by virtue of his wealth and status. He’s actually incredibly dumb.

[Abel Demoz @demozabel]

@SamiFathi_ I wouldn’t say it’s that simple. When companies’ products or services become too large and are woven into the fabric of society, some regulation is needed. This is precisely why suppliers of energy are regulated — everybody relies on it.

The iPhone 11 Pro is the best phone of all time. This isn’t up for debate.

@Stephen_Geiger The word “charlatans” made me laugh more than it should have

[Abel Demoz @demozabel]

Real developers spend 8 hours automating a 2-minute task that they have to do once every 6 months.

@appltrack @theinformation If true, the marketing team needs to come up with a really good name for the search engine. The name needs to be something that can be used as a verb. A boring name like ‘Apple Search’ won’t do them any favours.

@johnsundell Great to have you back, John!

[Abel Demoz @demozabel]

@imyke @jsnell When Apple sells an iPhone 14 for for $799, they receive $799. When they sell one for £849, they receive £707.50 as the 20% VAT is included in the retail price. At current exchange rates, £707.50 = $811. UK customers aren’t overcharged by Apple, they’re overtaxed.

@engineering_bae I’d ask for triple my previous TC and no less!
