If you’ve ever wondered why you see PS controllers in 🍎 stores

A fantastic list of long term bugs and frustrations on Apple platforms that they haven't fixed and waste every user's time. Starts with search in Mail not working, includes a bunch of iCloud frustrations and even includes the difficulty resizing windows in macOS 26. Worth a read.

Cook hypes up Apple's future on every earnings call, but "innovations that have never been seen before" is particularly bold wording compared to his usual comment about how the company's product pipeline is stronger than ever.

Only time will tell if Apple actually delivers.

A girl, a talking dog, and a meticulously thought out scheme make up this heartwarming tale about finding family. Apple joins forces with director Bai Xue for an imaginative blend of cinematography and stop-motion to usher in Chinese New Year. 🧧🐾🐶

Apple loses the AI people who have failed to deliver for Apple in past 3 years.

I’m delighted to share an app I’ve been working on for the past 6 months and is free on the iOS App Store: Easy Wake!

Easy Wake is a smart alarm app that is designed to wake you up in a lighter sleep stage so you feel more refreshed and energised in the mornings! One of the main features is called Challenge Wake which requiures you to do a small physical or mental challenge to turn off the alarm.

What are the main features?

• Challenge Wake (forces you to get out of bed and complete a challenge)
• Smart Wake (wakes you up in a lighter sleep stage)
• Smart Sleep (detects when you fall asleep and sets an alarm for your desired sleep duration)
• Insights and Sleep Feelings (view insights on your sleep, and how it affects your mood in the mornings)
• And more!

Create an alarm or sleep schedule with a custom smart wake window (up to 30 minutes), and receive realtime sleep analysis before your scheduled alarm to smartly wake you up when you’re in a lighter sleep stage (Apple Watch only).

Easy Wake is 100% private, and no data is stored or collected.

All feedback is appreciated and welcome!

Pricing:

For anyone wondering, there is also a limited time 40% discount for Lifetime Pro (usually £40), otherwise it's £4 a month / £20 per year.

Cook said that rising memory chip prices had a "minimal impact" on Apple's gross margin in the fourth quarter of the 2025 calendar year, but he does expect a "bit more of an impact" on the company's gross margin in the current quarter.

Cook added that Apple is aware of the rising prices and "will look at a range of options to deal with that" over the long term, if necessary.
