Relax - digital is efficient, so we don’t need to be…

MG Siegler:

”Facebook, an app where people share baby photos and conspiracy theories…”

Passing though Croydon. It’s almost 22 years since I worked here. Not far off half my life ago… and I think I’ve only been back twice.

I find upgrading firmware on devices a surprisingly satisfying process.

Weather could be better, though.

Nice to be heading up London late enough to drop a bag off at the charity shop and get a coffee from Tom Foolery.

Of all the things to find, a shopping list from my Mum, who has been gone over a decade:

It’s 2019, and, yes, you still need to own your content.

MailOnline’s traffic absolutely brutalised by Google algorithm update.

Craig Federighi on iPadOS:

“It’s become a truly distinct experience. It’s not an iPhone experience. It’s not a Mac experience. The name is a recognition of that.”

Jason Snell (@jsnell) on why Catalyst apps might be good for…

Here’s what excited me about the WWDC keynote today. The iPad Pro lifestyle just got more feasible.

Thank you, micro.blog folks. I enjoyed sharing the keynote with you!

My favourite sort of Apple keynote: I have no strong desire to buy anything new as a result of it, but I know all my devices will get better in the autumn. Result.

All in all, that feels like Apple worked its way through a big old list of things people have been complaining about for years, and got pretty much all of it done.
