Don't be surprised if Twitter looks very different on the web in the near future. The social network has started rolling out a previously teased web redesign that, for starters, boasts a much simpler look -- the three-column view is gone in favor of a simpler (not to mention more vivid) two-column layout. It's thankfully about more than cosmetics, even if it doesn't have everything users might like.

The alternative video platform became a hub for misinformation and conspiracy theories. Now, it wants to become a leader in culture.

A few weeks ago on AppStories, I mentioned to John that I was looking for the “Things of read-later apps”. What I meant is that I wanted to find an app to save articles for later that felt native to Apple platforms, had a reliable text parser, but, more importantly, featured deep Shortcuts integration to

Thanks to Filmic Pro, the iPhone is capable of recording in both Log (HEVC) and ProRes 422 HQ. Both formats have their pros and cons, and it’s important to know how to best use each. I’ve been having fun experimenting with Filmic Pro and trying to really push the iPhone to its limits. Recently I shared this test shoot where I compare the iPhone to an Arri Alexa, and today I want to share another experiment. Filmic Pro has offered Log recording for a long time, which is a favorite feature of many filmmakers. It creates the flattest possible starting point to maximize dynamic range, much like any dedicated cinema camera would. But only more recently has it become possible to record ProRes internally on the iPhone with Filmic Pro. This is a massive achievement […]

Given the early access releases of Aerofly FS 2, it might be tempting to dismiss the program and move on to other more established flight sim programs. However, the fact is, once you do give it a try you will very likely find yourself begrudgingly liking what is unfolding before you.And while there are still ways to go in terms of high-resolution add-ons and scenery (which will surely come with time) the initial feeling is one of positivity, even if there is a longing for more quantity of such scenery a...

Once Twitter was established in 2006, the way we communicated changed. With Twitter’s arrival, keeping our thoughts to 280 characters became the new norm. People rushed to the platform to respond to celebrity tweets, post updates to their friends, and be a part of bigger conversations.  A lot has happened to the company since 2006, […]

John: Every year, it seems like the MacStories Selects awards roll around faster than the last, and this year was no exception. For most people, the year begins on January 1st, but for us, WWDC marks the beginning of our year, and the MacStories Selects Awards feel like its conclusion. Plenty happens the rest of

The internet is run by adtech right now, and all the biggest companies are thriving on that, and I think the sooner we get out of that, the better. It is certainly going to be hard, and I'm not against ads per-se, but I'm against ads everywhere, ads by default, ads making our lives crappier and more miserable.

It’s clear from David Smith’s iOS 17 update to Widgetsmith that he intends for the app to hold its position among the most customizable widget creation tools available. That’s exactly what he’s done with a long list of new widgets, customization options, and features that push interactivity to the limit of the technologies Apple provides.
