@CarlosBBuild Their WWDC25 video on Icon Composer really helped youtu.be/4usD1hP1nYY?si…

For some reason, making the app icon is harder than the actual app

@atzydev This is sooo fun! 🤩

🚇🇸🇬 we made a SG MRT station guessing game - 3 tries to match the names to 5 stations on the MRT map - hints provided for line + direction - speedrun mode so you can brag to friends - island-wide tour if you're good enough try it here: 👉 mrt.eiti.dev 🚇

@louisagareiss Whats the app to track all the events? I need it

Events I’m going to during #WWDC26 week. See you there!

@Barbapapapps @DylanMcD8 But I wanted to only show the hours and minutes, I had to use a remainingTimeText(until:) helper to show “1h 31m”. It fixed the width expansion bug, but the trade-off is that it only updates when the system refreshes the Live Activity view (every few minutes), not every second.

@Barbapapapps @DylanMcD8 It’s so annoying. There’s a known SwiftUI bug that Text(date, style: .timer) expands to fill all available width instead of taking only the space it needs, which screws up the Dynamic Island compact trailing region. I had to use hidden text and an overlay to workaround it.

Implementing a Live Activity on iOS is one of the most dehumanizing experiences known to humankind.

So I accidentally became an indie app developer? @SignPrepApp is live on the App Store. Built for sign language interpreters — by one who got tired of wrangling multiple calendars, countless open tabs and messy notes. 😵‍💫 🔗 Check it out! apple.co/4sBtyoP

@LeakerApple 🙏🙏😭❤️

Only those closest to me can reply to this post.

@ReddCinema It’s @joelycett’s “gloryhole in a glass door” joke idea come to reality 😂

This hotel has everything. Even a hand-holding hole in the shower. Amazing

@VerdeSelvans The way I would wipe that bin out 😵‍💫

Some old Apple accessories I kinda want to buy the iPhone 5c case for my pink 5c…

@ParkerOrtolani Same here. I also use scheduled prompts. One of the use cases is I have it acting as a chief of staff, giving me daily briefings of my day and tasks. Super useful.

I think the combo of perplexity computer and comet is quickly changing how I use my iPhone, more so than even Claude

If you’re wondering how much the replacement of the Apple Crossbody Strap connectors are, it’s about 9-10 USD. You have to make a service appointment at the Genius Bar for it.

@ParkerOrtolani Agreed, I ordered it the moment it was released. It looks so good 😍

best color this entire generation, wish they’d just make white again tho (and red too)

@_poolday_ the app doesn’t seem to accept a valid Singapore phone number, it just shakes the number 😔

@VulgarVomit @ShadyLikeSlim @hlovo_ Okay, then iPhone users shouldn’t pay for the electricity used to charge the phone?

@ShadyLikeSlim @hlovo_ False equivalence! Your car needs fuel in order to run. Your iPhone doesn’t need Apple Music in order to run.

As an iPhone user, I shouldn’t be paying for Apple Music

@DylanMcD8 I have the same problem, it won’t show on my Mail app too. I don’t know if it’s because I added the email to my contact, though. Maybe contact photos override the branded mail profile

Anyone have any experience with Apple Branded Mail? I setup my domain and it’s verified but I’m still not seeing it

Happy New Year 2026 Singapore

@brinashollanov The editing, the music choice. This scene broke me. Then right after this clip when we Shane was dead centre staring at the camera… 😭😭😭

Still kind of the most insane two minutes in television history to me
