It’s pretty easy to get Apple Passwords to lose data. Create a new item with a password of “a”. Sync to two devices. Turn off internet on both devices. Set password to “b” on one device, and “c” on the other. Turn on internet. The conflict gets resolved silently. “b” might win, or “c” might win.

Photoshop 27 adds a “quiet mode” setting. I really hope it puts and end to the non-stop ads and tips. I can’t see a “quiet mode” setting in Illustrator 30.

I think iOS 26.1 changed the dock, so icons are no longer aligned with the grid above. I am not into this.

“When we made Affinity free, some people assumed there had to be a catch. Let me be absolutely clear. There is no catch.” I don’t think this comment will age well. You don’t spend USD$1 billion on something just to give it away. Very likely the plan is freemium.

I’ve been working on the iStat Menus, Pinwheel, and Skala Icon Composer app icons. Pinwheel’s icon was updated a couple of weeks ago, and iStat Menus will be soon. It’s great that the mono versions can be entirely different, if you’d like.

Surprisingly, my two biggest gripes with macOS 26 are the lock screen clock animating to the current time, and the new terrible window tabs. The clock seems to animate only when the laptop lid is opened, rather than every time macOS wakes. It’s incredibly distracting.

The new iOS 26 and macOS app icon shape looks like it is based on the iOS 7 app icon shape with a larger radius, rather than a superellipse. Here’s an image diff with my best attempt matching a superellipse. It’s not quite the same.

Can the new Icon Composer Mac app icons use Display P3 colours? It seems like the answer is yes, from my testing. Next thing: The Finder and QuickLook preview of Display P3 Icon Composer Mac app icons is incorrect.

This is a far better idea for iOS 26 and macOS 26. And honestly, an obvious one. Maybe make them look like fully 3D capsules with a bit of a highlight on the top as well?

I wonder if the European Accessibility Act, which comes into effect 28 June 2025, will be a reason some companies won’t adopt iOS 26’s Liquid Glass? It’s possible the accessibility settings cover this well enough, but it’s still a risk.

I did like this shot in the keynote. It looks simple, but there’s no camera or camera operator in the reflection of the Vision Pro. I bet it took some effort to get right.
