Apple

Well, why is Apple not capable of translating from/to Swedish. At least they could use a existing translation service.

I once again watched the presentation of the first iPhone on YouTube. I watch it once in a while since it is iconic and I simply like the way Steve Jobs gave presentations back then. This time I saw something I haven’t noticed before. After he introduced the iPhone, the iPhone is connected to the presentation and he shows the call app, how to watch videos, how to play and rate music, how to move through cover flow and how to scroll contacts. At one time he opens a detail page in the iPod app (i.e. music app), similar like my amazing drawing: From the left list view you can access the right detail view by tapping on one of the list items. At all times the right-most tab is selected (that’s why it’s highlighted in orange). Then you can go back - as we all know - by tapping on the back button in the top left corner (indicated by the dotted arrow). In most cases, you’re also able to do a swipe gesture from the left border of the screen to the right to trigger the back navigation. With the tab bottom bar ¹ the iPod app provides a third navigation method. Tapping on the already selected tab to pop everything from the navigation stack besides the top most view of the tab. This is different behaviour compared to the back button and the swipe gesture for a navigation stack of size > 2. For a single detail view (navigation stack of 2), all three methods behave the same. Coming back to the presentation, at one point Steve Jobs chooses to tap on the tab instead of using the back button² which somehow is kind of not ideal.

For the first time I accidentally opened slack instead of the iOS photos app on my iPhone because I mixed the two logos up. I wonder if this had any legal consequences in the past.

You could also rotate / flip the icons to match even more. They all come with the color combination blue to green to yellow to red. And look at the similarity between Slack and Google Photos icon. This time I rotated and flipped the Google Photos icon.

After the new iPhone 16e release I thought about Tim Cook’s announcement on X . Is the

newest member of the family

here to stay and be a part of the product line? Will there be an iPhone 17e in September or at least iPhone 18e next year? It’s unlikely as it is the successor of the iPhone SE 2022 and it was introduced in February instead of September but who knows for sure.

I thought about buying the new iPhone SE 2025 which is now named iPhone 16e. Until recently I used my iPhone X, upgraded to a used iPhone 13 Pro and would love to upgrade to a newer model. However, the pricing is just out of this world. Like everybody else in the tech bubble I’m too saying 699€ (or similar amount in $) is just too much. Inflation is a thing but not a justification for this price. Still waiting for the next iPhone mini. Sadly, this won’t happen anymore. The only highlight is reading the web’s option about Apple’s pricing policy and business economics.
