I’m not abandoning this place entirely - I still get value from the tweets of brands such as tech accounts & some personal ones even though most people rarely post now. But I’m here a lot less these days & you’re more likely to find me on BlueSky - marcsettle.Bsky.social. 💙🦋

If the glasses captured video LANDSCAPE (like our eyes are) she wouldn’t have to move her head left and right so much…ditto for the people filming while holding their phones vertically.
Meta just blew this commercial out of the water. As everyone else stares at a screen, not truly living in the moment, you'll be able to watch without worrying if you caught it on tape, fully enriched in the experience. 10/10

Another good iPhone video camera option that is adding a lot of nice updates…
MoviePro 10.0.4 is now live. Built for iPhone 18 Pro/Pro Max and iOS 27, with per-axis exposure controls, Pro Video Storage, a thermally optimized long-recording pipeline, more accurate scopes, improved Remote workflows, and much more. More coming soon.

It’s only taken THREE YEARS but the “next train” display is *finally* working again. Well done, @tfl .
Replying to @TfL
@TfL is there a timescale for fixing this display at Wembley Park, broken for *weeks* now? It can be very useful, telling passengers when a Met is due & therefore if it’s worth getting off a Jubilee line as the Met should get to Finchley Road first.

Always a must-read on Apple release day. Viticci gives the definitive review every year:
I've been working on this for 3 months, and here it is: My iOS and iPadOS 27 review: macstories.net/stories/ios-a… Customizable Liquid Glass, iPadOS, 15 system apps, and a big Siri AI chapter. And no, it's not a Snow Leopard release. Enjoy!

Does this mean that if I cause some minor cosmetic damage to my phone, I would get a *better* price than if it were spotless?

Much as I love Arsenal, I cannot defend this. I dread to think how many people have received this email and the really terrible spelling error. 🤦🏼

Most people will, inevitably, shoot videos in portrait. iMovie can’t export portrait video, without bars in a 16:9 frame either side of the 9:16 video or unless they know an unintuitive workaround. A lot of people won’t be happy to have edited their holiday videos in iMovie.

I’ve literally had that written on takeaway coffee cups 😂 And I also once had a letter addressed to Mark Withersea
“Hey mate, what’s your name?” “Marc with a C” “Sound”

I hate that I don't know if DROP is being used here to mean "no longer offer" or the very opposite "start to offer" as both work in the context of the headline.

When the features listed are a) a new chip; b) heart rate sensor getting “always-on” support; c) a ceramic case option…i’d argue that this is in fact only one new *feature.*

ITS 2026 AND WHEN YOURE IN UPPERCASE IOS STILL DOESNT KNOW HOW ITS MEANT TO USE APOSTROPHES yet they’re fine when you’re in lower case where it’s not a problem.

Why won’t a relatively simple automation work in iOS 27? (yes I’ve filed feedback on it) It’s hardly @mattcassinelli or @stephenrobles levels of complexity and yet it doesn’t work 😢

IPhone photos don’t do it justice - but watching it Spain beats watching it on TV.

I guess it’s better than the spate of Farage AI adverts from a few months ago, but the market for this one - for moving troops around - must be very very small?

These are all *brilliant* names for places in the UK - foreigners would barely believe they are genuine 😂

Love how this guy @Redfoxi has gone bonkers viral. He usually tweets once a month (if that…!) and usually sees barely any interaction. He’s going to get the shock of his life when he next logs in…

Time for another one of these then #tomorrowspaperstoday
With most of them in, here’s how Friday’s newspaper front pages in the UK are treating the end of Boris Johnson as leader of the Tories…and at some point, the end of his tenure as PM. #tomorrowspaperstoday

Big test for AI noise cancellation software and whether they should be used: will the fact Starmer’s resignation speech was delivered to (drowned out by?) the unwanted soundtrack of “Ode to Joy” mean AI tools will be used to remove it?
