Wild how useful this is

Jungle’s Sunshine Stereo albums never disappoint

Two weeks with the iPhone Air and zero battery complaints. It actually feels a better batter than my 16 Pro.

Instagram should have a feature where you can search for the brands that have advertised to you. They’ve shown me so many running clothing ads, and now I’m ready to buy I want to browse the ads and make a choice

The iPhone Air is what all phones should be

This is a big’un. Putting your context to work.

@economist.com is an unserious newspaper 😂

Waymo in London!!

We’re obsessed with anthropomorphising technology. Assistants. Agents. Copilots. Siri. Alexa. Clippy. Why? www.speci.news/stop-calling...

Massive internet companies like Google or Meta didn’t embrace brand-building until much later in their lives as companies. Why? www.speci.news/the-model-ma...

My favourite part of Destination X is that they were obviously told no branded t-shirts and Daren has shown up with exclusively branded t-shirts that they’ve had to cover up every day

Liquid glass is *lovely*

Say hello to Granola Updates! 100% vibe coded by me. No CMS. Very little code knowledge. A home for each Granola release. granola.ai/updates

A Monday morning ego massage from my telephone network

Using Granola to reflect on my first day working at Granola.

The Uber Apple Watch live activity in the Smart Stack is very cool and useful.

Happy WWDC to all those who celebrate!

Inspiring set of Apple Watch band choices in the Apple Store this spring!

This is a terrible look

I have no idea how Apple’s going to (a) address the year it’s had not shipping Apple Intelligence and (b) respond to Google I/O and all of OpenAI’s (great) announcements. No clue. What an exciting time to be competing in consumer tech.

Another check in the “AI is killing UX” box! www.speci.news/how-ai-is-ki...

Jony Ive has always been at his best when he has had a collaborator. Steve Jobs was his most famous collaborator. Ive has found his next Steve Jobs. youtu.be/W09bIpc_3ms?...

In a Stratechery interview a few weeks ago, Zuckerberg waxed lyrical about how Meta's basically going to replace marketing departments. It's sat with me since I listened to it because I think he's really wrong. #brand #marketing #meta #ai www.speci.news/meta-wants-t...

Four days on and Bellboy is living in my head rent free

Say hello to your new favourite brand mascot, Bellboy www.youtube.com/watch?v=POHk...

I have just vibe coded for the first time and it has totally blown my mind.

Is advertising an output or a process? @rorysutherland.bsky.social thinks it's a process. But Mark Zuckerberg thinks it's an outcome. Who's right? www.speci.news/meta-wants-t...

Happy first shorts day of the year to all those who are celebrating

hello

What’s your niche annoying thing that’s happening in your industry? Mine is that Uber Eats is using the wrong Waitrose logo in its big advertising push for groceries

Tim Cook still the most effective Trump manager of them all

Notion is slowly taking over my Dock.

Think this might be a new Banksy? 👀

ChatGPT has yet another viral moment, proving - I think - that it really is the consumer brand for the AI revolution

What a day

Would be a shame if we all bought this book wouldn’t it

Great companies build credibility by *showing the thing* - being proud to show off the product they’ve made vs surrounding them in marketing bluster or showing them before they’re ready. This is is why Apple events were always so magical - they showed off exciting new things that actually worked!

I just ate an entire pack of Fox’s triple chocolate cookies, how’s your day going?

It’s great to have Formula 1 back.

@profgalloway.com is that you on the phone to Jason Isaacs on this week’s The White Lotus???

Need

there aren’t enough: - key changes - sax solos anymore

I think this is a smart move, actually. Could be a mea culpa moment, and has happened a few times in Apple’s history already (Atennagate, as an example). Would need to make sure it can technically handle timers and home automation, though.

AI isn’t a product, it’s a technology that enables products.
