Parcel (all platforms): the best shipment tracker you’ll ever use
Solves (all platforms): it’s basically identical to the built in calculator but is 1,000,000x better
Music Library Tracker (iOS, iPadOS): keeps track of the change in your Apple Music library and can automatically make a spatial audio playlist for you
Mlem (iOS, iPadOS): the best Lemmy client
Vinegar (all platforms): a Safari extension that makes YouTube use the native video player, adds PiP for free and removes ads!
Baking Soda (all platforms): replaces custom video players in other sites with the native one
Crouton (all platforms): a natively built recipe manager. I don’t use it much but it’s really well made

Monitor Control (macOS): allows you to control the brightness of external monitors (other than Apple’s)
Calipers Tape Measure (iOS): a super accurate set of Calipers for your iPhone
Cric Pulse (iOS): the only cricket app with live activities
While Apple may not be perfect when it comes to privacy, they are objectively better for privacy than just about every other manufacturer as it’s profitable to their business model
This is an app clip suggestion based on your location. Siri suggestions can suggest things based on many factors such as location, time of day, recent apps, etc. These suggestions can be things like opening an app or texting someone. All of that processing is done on your device. As I said, this is for an App Clip based on your location. An app clip is like a mini app designed to do one single task. For instance, an app clip might be for paying for fuel at a petrol station. App clips are designed to be extremely small so you can download it quickly and easily and the delete them when you’re done. So in summary, you’re seeing a Siri suggestion to download an app clip that is linked to that nearby church. It’s probably some touristy thing. You can change all of your Siri suggestion settings under Settings > Siri & Search
Previously, you’d just tap (done) and it would simply close the report window without any confirmation whatsoever that the report had actually been submitted
I don’t use Bing search (who would?). But Bing chat is honestly really good
Bing chat is actually really good. Way better than Bard. It’s legit just ChatGPT with web access
You think we should just destroy millions of dollars worth of cutting edge internet architecture which aids rural communities have usable internet globally because you don’t like the guy who paid for it? Seriously?
I have to agree. Especially with that last one. The amount of cynical and/or pessimistic people on here making up a strong vocal (hopefully) minority is really disappointing
Hopefully they add palm rejection for the edges 🤞
That’s ”open dyslexic”. As far as I’m aware, it’s a font specifically designed to be easily readable by dyslexic people
I think Mlem is on track to be better than Apollo was at this rate. You gotta remember, Apollo had been released and in continued development for years. Mlem is around 2 months old
It depends where you are. Apple Maps gets its data from different places depending on where you are. If you’re in any place with Apple’s “new map” which is data collected and maintained by Apple themselves, Apple Maps will be pretty dang good! Better than Google in most cases. This includes places such as the U.S., UK, Australia, France, Spain and many more. In some larger cities such as San Francisco, London, Melbourne, Paris and more, Apple Maps has a dataset (also collected and maintained by Apple) called the detailed city experience. This is pretty comfortably the most detailed map available and is super good! In other countries it’s hit or miss. The data will either come from Tom Tom, OSM, or a local provider. Sometimes this data is super good, sometimes it’s average, and sometimes it kinda sucks. But that’s all just the actual map bit. When it comes to locations on the map, chances are, Google will have more information. Personally, I prefer using Apple Maps (I’m in a location with the detailed city experience) but you’d have to have a look. Feel free to tell me your region if you’d like to know what data they have where you live
I’ve just installed the unreleased iPadOS version into the visionOS simulator! It’s pretty cool! (I am not affiliated with Mlem Group at all for the record)
Is there any eta for this version releasing? Do you guys know if it will be in the App Store version?
Dude, watch the video. This wasn’t done by Apple. It was modded by ELO, a company which is still around today. They made it for shopping centre payment stations and other similar use cases. And frankly, from the looks of it in the video, it worked just as well as they do today (which is to say mediocre at best).
