The best way to download a large iCloud Photo Library
I use the Apple photos app less and less these days and I was looking at ways to get my data on my laptop so that I could decide whether or not to delete them from Apple and start again. I was thinking first to download them all locally via the photos app (55,000 images,…

Apple, I paid for a larger screen on my phone 🤷
Just one of the daily paper cuts with reduce transparency. (I know this is a very first world problem with everything going on right now but I’m trying to distract by writing about what I usually do).

iOS 27: Don’t get your hopes up for Liquid Glass improvements
I’ve written quite a bit about why I haven’t been enjoying Liquid Glass but it boils down to the fact I use the accessibility option of display zoom, cannot read text easily when it’s not got a solid background and reduce transparency being broken in many places. We’re on multiple revisions past iOS 26 (26.3…

My iPhone Air Home Screen setup
I don’t think there is much here in terms of new apps but I’m on a one page Home Screen setup on my iPhone Air right now. When you’re dealing with overwhelm sticking to a plain dark wallpaper is the way to go. I’m using Apple apps right now as you’ll see because it’s a…

iOS 26 continues to leave accessibility behind (reduce transparency is broken)
I forget how many times I’ve written about display settings on iOS and how turning on accessibility settings breaks the interface. Here’s the latest discovery. I’m using (not anymore) reduce transparency on iOS 26 to help me see the text better but… I’m in Mail and searching for all mails with Apple in them. I’m…

Turn off Apple Intelligence reporting
I recently completely restored my iPhone Air and when I was digging into settings I noticed that Apple Intelligence reporting is turned on by default. I don’t have Apple Intelligence turned on at all but I still wanted the reporting off. Call me paranoid but I don’t trust Apple software to not be taking up…

How waterproof is the Casio F-91W?
This is a cool video, taking the watch I have as my current daily wear (the classic F-91W) to extremes. It’s such an underrated day to day wear and I bet holds up better than a lot of very expensive watches available.
