If Ternus can bring Apple's software, services, and developer relations up to the level that Apple's hardware has reached under his watch, the company will be in very good hands. But that’s a big if.

I wrote about AI and design and speed and business and sports. www.jeremykanter.com/thoughts/spe...

If my iPad can remember my preferred window sizes and positions in landscape and portrait, my Mac should be able to remember my preferring window sizes and positions when I connect and disconnect from external displays.

So many apps and websites out there get this wrong (given their focus on such verbs) that I finally sitdowned, rollupped my sleeves, and speakupped in visual form. A sign for me to tap in the future!

"A new study out of Cornell Universit found workers most excited and impressed by corporate speak may be the least equipped to make effective, practical business decisions, and it can leave companies with dysfunctional leaders."

Could every major tech company please challenge themselves to go one year without shooting themselves in the dick? Every day there is a new Google rewriting headlines or DLSS 5 or Liquid Glass fiasco and it’s exhausting.

This is the greatest bracket UI I’ve ever seen. Whoever at Apple had a hand in this, bravo.

When Apple replaced all the sheets with floating dialog boxes, that's when we should've realized that macOS software design was in decline.

I wrote about the one thing I would change about social media timelines if I could. www.jeremykanter.com/thoughts/a-t...

Someone should calculate how much energy we’ve wasted as a species embedding the contents of the entire email thread in each reply.

Why the hell isn't “Type to Siri" just one of the options within Spotlight?

I once saw a woman on the subway with 100+ page print out of her Facebook comments, magnified by 50%. She was reading through them, highlighting, and pre-writing (by hand) her responses. AI could never in a million years predict this behavior

Noticed the PayPal app got a new icon. Opened it up to see if they had updated anything else about the design. Got hit with 8 different layout shifts or UI stutters in 9 seconds.

My smart litter box which is smart enough to recognize my cats and track their weights is apparently not smart enough to know about daylight savings time.

“We haven’t decided what to charge for this” doesn’t really give me a ton of confidence that they have answers to other big questions like “how do we make sure the store isn’t filled with malware and other junk.”

is my dishwasher negging me

i got this air purifier for christmas 3 years ago and now suddenly there are hard boiled egg ads in the app

What does it say about the value of these models when Apple would rather license one than build their own? When the best deal Google can get (after allegedly spending $100B+ to develop Gemini so far) is a small fraction of what they already pay Apple each year to be Safari’s default search engine?

no i do not want to give you my email for 10% off. and furthermore, I don’t think i should have to click a button that says “i’m a dumb bitch” to indicate that. you’re a website that sells blankets and you can’t speak to me like that.

"It sounds like science fiction: A company turns a dial on a product used by hundreds of millions of people and inadvertently destabilizes some of their minds." I dunno, "science fiction" sounds an awful lot like basically every social media platform.

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

It all happens on Bluesky

Boss, we’ve got a problem. Users don’t want this stuff! They keep wanting to turn it off, even when we keep turning it back on! Boss: I have an idea

I wrote about some weird gross stuff I saw on the App Store. www.jeremykanter.com/thoughts/the...

Is it just me, or does the iPhone 17 Pro come off as vaguely cyberpunk to anyone else?

Tim Cook is using a familiar strategy to stay in Donald Trump’s good graces: handing him a shiny toy and telling him he can keep it.

The worst thing about Substack is all the nazi stuff, but the second worst thing is how many of its newsletters use Spectral as a body text font. I made a Safari extension that replaces it with something more readable. apps.apple.com/us/app/spect...

Somatic - David Lanham

I want to love Firefox, but this is absolutely unhinged UI.

For every repost this gets I will share one (1) opinion or observation about Liquid Glass.

Oh hey, they did my thing. medium.com/design-bootc...

Launching competitors to Webflow, Lovable, Illustrator, and Canva all in one event is actually insane.

Going through a checkout flow on a government website and one date field strictly requires MM/YY format (you must type the / yourself) while the next strictly requires MMYY format.

we don’t need “Frutiger Aero” or “Aqua” or “Skeuomorphism” back or whatever the aesthetic was never the problem what we need is designs that have actual love and care put into them

This is how I learned that TikTok had an Instagram-like Notes app.

We all know someone who leaves Figma comments like this.

It’s not gonna make a difference but it did make me feel 0.5% better.

Whoa, when did ChatGPT fix their logo?

normalise whole-arsing your apps

So they’re one step away from showing your friends pictures of you doing things you didn’t do. Cool cool cool. Very cool stuff. Very cool company.

Well this is unfortunately the realest thing I've ever read. trends.uxdesign.cc/2025
