@jsonbecker Wow, great service!
@numericcitizen That does look nice. It sort of leans into their existing aesthetic.
@matt_birchler And did he get fired from Fox like Matthew Dowd did from MSNBC for being “insensitive” about Kirk’s murder?
@ismh86 Bummer! It was the smoothest in years for me. I woke up at 8:30a eastern, didn’t remember for a few minutes that I had something to do, then clicked the store notification and had checked out with launch day delivery within 40 seconds. Pro, 256, Orange. I bet that’s what they made the most of.
@agiletortoise Not sure if this was intention, or supposed to be “now much easier”.

@jarrod I’m feeling more secure in my pre-pre-order of a Cosmic Orange 17 Pro.
@jddavis And then you and I both sent them screenshot within 7 minutes of each other 🤣 jb.heydingus.net/2025/09/1…
@birming You and me both! heydingus.net/blog/2025…
@birming @Havn @imyke @matt_birchler I wonder if that’s why they opened with the “design is how it works quote” this time. They’ve leaned into function over form this round. I think I agree that the Pixel lineup looks overall more balanced and aesthetically pleasing. But the iPhone Air is pretty gorgeous.
@bapsi Good question! I’m pretty sure I went from Series 5 to Ultra 1 — I don’t think I had any in-betweens.
@simonbs Wow! Were there even watches compatible with that feature out then?
@manton Yeah, especially as they leaned into the “iPhone 16 family” phrasing this year. I guess the Air isn’t part of the 17 family.
@BasicAppleGuy A marvel!
@stephenrobles Glad I still have the original!
@jarrod Well, I guess my Apple Watch Ultra 3 order wasn’t as cut and dry as I thought. I waffled a little more and decided I want to keep the Ultra 1 as a backup and for its better overnight health sensors. And I don’t need the more extravagant Milanese Loop band. So I canceled and re-ordered with the old Series 5 as the trade-in.
But then thought better of it again and canceled and re-ordered without any trade-in. I can get much more than $30 for a Series 5 by selling it myself.
I’m very thankful for Apple’s easy ordering/canceling system, but it did push back my delivery date to early October.
@steven_aquino That’s so awesome to hear!
@lmika Right? I wouldn’t be offended if they got the perspective right!
@jarrod As is squircle icon jail… (And yes, that’s an Apple-owned Pixelmator Pro icon that’s been locked up.)

@manton @gregmorris Count me in too. Probably all those Instagram posts I imported ages ago.
@joesteel It’ll have history soon with 26, but not yet. Which doesn’t help you now, unfortunately. Weird though…I did that reset today too after getting the email, and I didn’t have to put in my old password. I went to their webpage manually though, not by clicking the link in the email. I wonder if that made the difference.
@joeross that’s pretty awesome. I wish more feed readers allowed this!
@Viditb Well done
@jonathanreed Congrats on the new show!
