iPhone Duo is here! Excited to have worked on the design of our open/close transition. It’s designed to make the two displays feel like one seamless experience by perceptually bending the focal plane, not the content, so that it feels like opening a window onto a singular view.

I built Light Touch, a full-featured iPod touch 2G emulator for Mac. Networking + Wayback Machine proxy, GLES/3D games support, a built-in app store via legacystore.app, rotation, screen capture, the works. Have fun github.com/samhenrigold/Ligh…

anyway in 2007 Apple secretly backported the prerelease implementation of Core Animation (nee LayerKit) to the Tiger fork used by the original Apple TV, so I extracted the Apple TV binary, transplanted it into Tiger, resolved its private framework dependencies, and now Tiger has Core Animation. it's a christmas miracle

Are you a developer working on iOS 27 app updates? Drowning in screenshots and screen recordings?
I made something for you. Free and open source.
Apple Frames CLI lets you (or your agent) frame any screenshot or screen recording from any Apple device.
It supports *every* official Apple frame color, grouped batches, it can merge images and videos, and so much more.
I just released version 1.4 with even faster performance, videos with transparent background, and lots of fixes.
This has been a labor of love over the last few months, and I hope it can help you automate your App Store screenshots as much as it helps me for my articles ☺️
Enjoy: github.com/viticci/frames-cl…

What if you could let an yolo agent compile your Xcode projects without giving it the keys to your entire Mac?
That's xcbox (very pre-alpha): Apple container-based sandboxing for Xcode. No babysitting, no "my Mac exploded" vibes 😄

My attempt to protect users from scam apps on the @AppStore has gotten my Apple Developer account flagged for termination - ironically, for "dishonest activity".
Unless it's reversed by June 30, all new installs of Sparrow Wallet will fail, and development on macOS will end.
The context: since 2023, more than a dozen fake "Sparrow" apps have appeared on the App Store, as recently as April this year. Users have contacted me after losing their savings, in some cases their life savings, to these impersonators.
I'm the developer of the real Sparrow Wallet, a desktop app, and I hold the registered US trademarks for the name and logo. I have publicly warned @Apple and the community about these fake apps from early 2024, but they keep appearing.
The app @Apple flagged was a placeholder that was never published. Its only purpose was to warn users that Sparrow is desktop-only and that other "Sparrow" apps aren't mine. This approach may have been misguided, but there was nothing dishonest about it.
I'm confident this is an automated misclassification that Apple would reverse on review - but I may be terminated before a human ever looks at my appeal. The cost would fall on @Apple's own users: blocked installs and no updates for a tool people rely on, which opens the door for more fakes.
If you value Sparrow, a repost would help. @AppleSupport

It's very cool that Apple shipped a 20B parameter on-device.
You can't put 20B parameters in RAM at any reasonable precision. To make it work they are using pretty exotic architecture by today's standards.
A small model predicts from the query (or prompt) which experts to load from Nand into RAM. The key distinction from a typical MoE is that you do this once per query and then generate all the tokens with the same experts (instead of switching the experts for every token).

Here are the skills that ship with Xcode 27.
Apple did a fantastic job with these (no surprise) from what I've poked around and looked at. Baseline SwiftUI guidance, and nuggets on how to use the new stuff like the reorderable APIs.

Apple still sets the bar for software design.
The way movies on Vision Pro reflect in the icy river of the new Iceland environment during the day, and how the snow softly glows at night, genuinely gives me goosebumps.

It’s so good to have Stacktrace by @johnsundell and @_inside back after two years.
Seeing it show up in my Overcast feed genuinely made my heart skip a beat.
I’ve honestly missed it quite a lot 🥹

I'm too lazy for budgeting apps. I generally only want to know if numbers go up or numbers go down over a period of time, so, introducing Bread Count =D
