I just returned my iPhone 17 Pro because it’d immediately gained a nick in the camera bump from normal usage on the 2nd day.

Same. So good. What’s your username? I’ll add ya.

There’s a certain level of “If you don’t know at all, you don’t need it.”

But I’m curious for all types of developers, or especially folks who work with developers but aren’t themselves.

Thanks!

Developers – I will be sharing posts from apps updated for iOS 26 tomorrow.

Create a post sharing both what your app does and what’s new, and I’ll add it to an ongoing thread – on all platforms.

Reply here or when you see the post on Monday.

Looking forward to seeing your updates!

Not gonna lie this is exactly why Shortcuts exists and why it’s dumb that more brands aren’t adopting Apple Intelligence.

Please let me get to my goal and move on.

Any proper nouns can be capitalized, like "Adjust Sleep Schedule" is correct because "Sleep Schedule" is the name of the feature.

Parameter Summaries are always preferred and really help users understand which fields are required vs. optional, as well as how to connect actions together logically

This is cool, looking forward to seeing more.

FYI the standard for Parameter Summaries is using sentence case—I was trying figure out why type of record an "A" record was at first—so something like "Create a record" would read better alongside other Shortcuts actions.

Basic Apple Guy wallpapers are now featured & bundled into Widgetsmith! 🤝

Kinda wild to say this… but my work is now featured in Widgetsmith! Huge honour to be part of an app that’s on millions of homescreens! I'm grateful beyond words.
