I make @sixcolors & @incomparable & @upgrade among other things. I've been writing and talking about Apple since back when it was doomed.

@AllenFinchum that's okay, the giants took the series

@jimmyjamesuk I also find time a curious choice but 🤷🏻‍♂️

“This narrative that is was vaporware is nonsense”. Craig Apple. My guy. You announced something that never shipped. You made ads for it. You tried to sell iPhones based on it. What’s the difference if you had it running internally or not. Still vaporware. Zero difference 🤣

@lincolnshaun I was right behind that end zone for that one. Great stuff.

@jimmyjamesuk privacy, probably. I don't think I've ever used a clipboard history item that has gone back more than a few hours. Regardless, these sorts of decisions are what allow alternative apps to keep customers

If you don't think I took this opportunity to make a reference to Cal beating Stanford you don't know me

@godofbiscuits @craiggrannell

We are so close that it's impossible to judge whether it's "new == bad"

That said, as someone who is very familiar with the "storytelling" that accompanies new designs, I really just let that stuff go in one ear and out the other. It's PR. A lot of it is generated after the work is done. It's meaningless.

@sdjmchattie lots of them are, but rarely do you have two people in one physical spot... and even more rarely that they'd only have an iPad. But this is the stuff I learn as I figure out how this thing works.

2025-06-12

@jeffcgd yeah-the signature edition is a little better but either is fine

2025-06-12

@sdjmchattie record two people

2025-06-12

@nSonic @timo very few podcasts are recording with multiple people on an iPad on one end of a VOIP call. It's not a big deal, but it's worth noting

2025-06-12

@frumble probably expedience in packing it into an mp4 that can contain video

2025-06-12

@max sorry, you misunderstand. This is the new local recording feature in iOS 26 that works while you're on a VOIP call. Entirely different scenario.

2025-06-12

@sullust if you record with two mics you want both mics to be separate for editing reasons

2025-06-11

iPad local audio capture appears to be mono FLAC in an MP4 container. Stereo gets mixed down to mono, multichannel interfaces appear to just not work.

Biggest need: manual gain control with preview of levels.

@AllenFinchum email headed out now, actually
