Name that tune.

I was reminded this morning that Apple added a new “Music Haptics” accessibility feature to iOS 18, which I hadn’t actually tried out yet, that subtly vibrates along to songs for those affected by hearing loss to feel.

Putting it on a box is fun!

Apple Sports 2.0 has arrived.

Last month, Apple announced an update for the Sports app that adds Live Activities support to help you follow games on the lock screen of your iPhone or Apple Watch.

Now, it has been released in the App Store just ahead of the launch of iOS 18 and watchOS 11, and it includes a new drop-down menu and search setup to switch between leagues and teams.

A reminder about marketing.

Before you buy something like Anker’s new MagGo SD card reader to take advantage of that high-fps video capture on the iPhone 16 Pro, go read PetaPixel’s warning about product marketing and the limits of SD cards.

PetaPixel today confirmed that the iPhone can technically shoot 4K at 30 frames per second (FPS) in ProRes Log to a UHS-II SD card, but attempting to choose a higher frame rate would guarantee dropped frames.

The iPhone 16 won’t come with stickers.

Like with Apple’s newest iPads, Apple won’t include Apple logo stickers in the boxes of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro, 9to5Mac reports. You can apparently ask for a sticker when purchasing an iPhone 16 at an Apple Store, though.
