@manton Shortcuts actions would be a nice starting point.

@numericcitizen I’m curious if it has all the same functionality on the iPhone Duo. 

@andycarolan I hope they do bring it to Duo quickly.

@rafa Wait, maybe not Apple’s wallet. Duo’s not on the compatibility list, and this screenshot makes it look like it wouldn’t fit under Duo’s camera bar.

Three smartphones are shown from the back. The left phone is blue with a MagSafe charger attached, highlighting its circular design. The center phone is burgundy with a matching leather MagSafe wallet attached, featuring three rear cameras. The right phone is beige with two rear cameras, featuring a textured case. The Apple logo is visible on the two phones with attached accessories. Each phone showcases different color options and MagSafe-compatible accessories.

@rafa Seems like it!

@andycarolan Right? And a deal breaker since I wear gloves for like half the year here. But if Apple Watch unlock is reliable, then maybe it’s moot?

@agiletortoise Heeeeeey

@manton Indeed.

@sigmund I caught that too!

@manton 👀 Don’t tempt me with a good time! 😆

@manton Timeline sync, forever and always.

@manton Here’s another one in there: keerthana01.micro.blog/2026/09/0…

Is Discover no longer a human-curated feed?

@devondundee Read them earlier this year and was absolutely hooked. Thanks for the heads up!

@Viditb That looks fantastic!

@matt Not too surprised that the Apple-centric blogs I read only mentioned Apple Pay, but I am curious on how popular Samsung/Google Pay are relative to their market share. Are they doing Tap-to-Pay transactions at the same rate as Apple Pay users? Any insight as someone in the industry?

Also, small typo near the end: “they get a tiny fraction of the transaction if you choose to play that way”

@marcoarment Much better! But right aligned with settings in bottom left would let the task list reach the top a little more naturally. 🙂

@viditb Heads up, I think there’s an extra space here in Shiuli’s disclaimer.

A mobile screen displays a prompt to Pick an Image with a fan-like icon above the text and a red arrow pointing to a disclaimer about server-based image description models.

@jifarris I think so!

@daringfireball It’s probably worth mentioning that while the IUP “included” AppleCare+, it wasn’t for free. It was just baked into the monthly cost of the program. If you did the math on the 24 monthly payments, it equaled out to the retail cost of the phone + two years of AppleCare. Within a few cents.

@daringfireball IUP required a big 3 carrier too, which was also a bummer. At least Verizon’s new Simplicity plan approached MVNO pricing.

@matt_birchler “Quickubs” typo in the title, btw. 🙂

@manton very nice!

@agiletortoise Create new actions!

@matt_birchler Nice feature update! Heads up, couple of small typos.

A smartphone screenshot displaying text from a website, birchtree.me, with a focus on RSS feeds. Mentioned authors include John Siracusa and Casey Liss, highlighting their irregular publication as suitable for the feeds feature. Text discusses the convenience of following these writers and using newsletters. The phrase “MacStory Select” is highlighted, and there are icons for closing, sharing, and options at the bottom of the screen. An emoji with a winking face is present near the end.

@lexfri Thank you! 😊
