@MKBHD Working on something of my own and can see the pricing being reasonable. I think your team did a good job on the cost analysis part. With the number of audience you have, it would be financial wreck if ain't that price.

Part of building in public is getting mass feedback immediately, which is pretty dope. Almost exactly like publishing a YouTube video First thing we're doing is fixing the excessive data disclosures, as people rightfully brought up. For transparency, we'd never actually ask for your location, internet history, etc. The data disclosures (that everyone is screenshotting) is likely too broad, and largely driven by what the ad networks suggest. Working to fix that ASAP. As far as pricing, I hear you! It's our own personal challenge to work to deliver that kind of value for the premium version. (Weekly Friday drops are already starting) I'll also be dialing back ad frequency for the free experience 👍🏾 Much more to come. I appreciate you all

There is no such thing as free. If you aren't paying cash for it, you probably are paying with your privacy. And no tech is free. Everything costs. Every request sent from your devices costs. You pay your isp. But that doesn't cover the server cost, so somebody have to pay that.

@rsgnl Lol. I tried the app and it's alright. It offers no account usage too. It isn't bad product. For what he does, it fits for what he could create in that space. And that app does have premium feel to it. But it ain't useless like many are saying.

Perhaps the MKBHD wallpaper app is a swing and a miss, but some of the reactions on here are so strong, as if he personally insulted everyone 😂

@UMAD @flyosity I agree with Asem. I don’t use it either. It is accessible from everywhere at this point and thus no need to have it take more space than needed.

@flyosity Just because some control moved to an inconvenient location for “you” doesn’t mean it is wrong. I almost never use the search in the photos app, so for me putting it out of the way is great. Most of their changes are informed by usage statics they collect.

Apple broke the Photos app in iOS 18 because they stopped thinking about it as a Utility and started treating it like an app they are trying to grow casual usage of, which is insane. Apple’s goal should **never** be to increase usage of it like it’s some social product or game. Their goal should be to provide whatever a user is trying to find when they open it. Here are my primary use cases: (1) I need to find an item in my library that was added recently so I can edit it, share it, copy it, etc. (2) I need to find an item that was added to my library long enough ago that just scrolling back and glancing at thumbnails quickly is laborious or won’t lead to success without frustration For #1, the best way to solve that is to show me a chronological list of items as quickly as possible For #2, the best way to solve that is to have a Search feature that can accept arbitrary queries like “pumpkin patch” or “last Thanksgiving” or “baby pics” or “Dad with a beard” I don’t care about moments, slideshows, dynamic collections, memories, or anything else Photos is trying to put in my face. I don’t open Photos to stroll down memory lane, I open it for 1 of the 2 use cases outlined above. So what did Apple do? They jumbled the quick list of recent items with a bunch of dynamic collections and memories into a new main screen, but more egregiously they took Search out of the tab bar (closest to my thumb) and put it at the top right of the screen, which is the 2nd hardest region to reach when holding a phone. Moving Search to an ergonomically inconvenient location would be bad enough, but Apple designers took it a frustrating step further by shrinking the tap target wayyyyyy down from iOS 17. How much smaller is it? 91% smaller by area compared to the iOS 17 tab. 91% fewer individual pixels to try to tap on, now placed in the most inconvenient location they could find.

@sondesix It was true but I kinda like it now. Might just need to get used to it.

The only thing that I would consider "bad" about iOS 18 is this new Photos app. It doesn't look bad (it looks great). It's just that they ruined the usability. Why would they change a perfectly working app?

@AnxiousHolly Or, change your phone ever two year. Buy the phone with two year financing and it will cost around the same price and you get to keep the phone that you used.

so tempted to just do this

Hear me out, a notion-like application is just a file explorer but slower. If File Explorer has in-app editing and customization abilities, it will replace all these other applications and be faster. But that would be hard to maintain for sure. Just a thought.

@AnxiousHolly For scanning documents on note app icon. Still, rarely though.

how often do you press down for more options?

@iOS10Pro Prime example of: Different doesn’t mean easiest. How long does it take to switch apps? Not as long as you wait to load all the apps from that shortcut. Personally, I prefer apple way.

This cool thing I enabled on my iPhone allows me to switch between apps without going to the Home Screen

@cooltechtipz With that logic, it could be any company. 😂😂

Now I know

@IntoGalaxyy Bro, your video shows how awesome Face ID is. 😂 No need of all that finger dance. Come on. 😂😂

I think I will say it for everyone... Samsung's Ultrasonic Fingerprint Scanner >>>>>> Apple's Face ID

Every idea has its contradicting version. Only when you sat down and work through with both ideas, you get to decide what is better for you.

@DystopianRevolt Cry about it. But people know what apple did and how it is different than any other companies. People working in this industry know who is contributing and who is working toward what. Least informed is the fact here. ✌️

Apple AI is just Gemini and ChatGPT with an apple sticker on it.

@AnxiousHolly Yet people argued they didn’t copy. 😆

oh dear 💀

@AviSchiffmann Bro, back in the days, they were super popular for 1 day. 🤣

hello, friend

@yasirbugra Don’t try.

Light mode & Dark mode

@AnxiousHolly That’s smooth ngl.

call me crazy but I'm actually excited to have this little dynamic pill and live activities in One Ui 7 👀

Pushing 3rd party code is like going through TSA with a random package your relative gave and believing they didn't put something illegal in it. Don't do that. It would be best to double-check and test in the virtual development environment that mimics prod.

I think each company that took this update blindly should also be blamed. All these companies' CEO and CTOs should also be blamed for what happened. No companies should put their systems to take in and push 3rd party code into production without testing. youtu.be/I1quYr2qCuw?si…
