These #Kirby surprise eggs are really great! Lucky to have found the "special" Kirby.

Xbox Gamepass was such an amazing product for us consumers. It will be even harder to sell Xbox consoles with the new consoles.

I might or might not be at the Tokyo Game Show today and tomorrow. #TokyoGameShow

Taking my first ride on the Tokyo subway with the AirPods Pro 3 and wow: they are significantly superior to the 2s. Perhaps it's due to their fit in my ears, they are the first AirPods that actually stay in place without slipping out. #AirpodsPro

After few days with the iPhone Air I'm actually quite impressed. Coming from a 15 Pro, the one and only thing I'm missing is Cinematic Mode for videos.
Everything else is superior, including battery. 👏

‎Redirect Web - Browser Ext. ‎Redirect Web is a browser extension that sends you straight to where you meant to go. Skip detours, save clicks, and stop wasting time. — WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT — • Quickly and easily create clear “from…

Just found an amazing extension for redirects! Perfect if (like me) you don't have Instagram, but still need to check events/institutions posts (or your friends’ brainrot memes).
This app allows you to open them without IG’s annoying web limitations 🙌

Last night #F1 qualifying was almost surreal, but lot of fun honestly. Today's race is gonna be great! #AzerbaijanGP

Pretty impressed after one day with the iPhone Air. Coming from a 15 Pro: battery last longer, screen is bigger, much lighter, thinner and brighter!

Been trying out the new OpenAI GPT-5 Codex this past week.
Impressed by the improvements, overall more reliable (at least for me) than Claude Code.

Took about 2 hours to migrate to the new Air, including esim transfer, Apple Watch transfer, Apple Pay etc. Local transfer works really well. Only some apps needed re-auth. #iphoneAir #iPhone

Happy iPhone day! I'm picking up the Air today. Will be interesting to see how to move from Pro to Air will go! #iphone #iphone17 #iphoneair

NewsNinja update for #iOS26 is out! Still In Review for #MacOS26. apps.apple.com/us/app/newsn...

Screenshots for #iOS26 ready!

What bothers me more is that as soon as I disconnect the phone from the charger, it install the updates 🤔. Like I've left it charging all night long, and the best time to install updates is when I unplug it??? 😅

My talk got selected for the #Pragma conference in Bologna 🙌.

#iOS #iOSDev #Swift #SwiftUI

I've released NewsNinja 2.0! It adds support for Reddit, a new UI, discovery screen and more!
Available on #iOS #iPadOS #MacOS #VisionOS.

The duality of #Apple, in the same day, in order:
1. Approve new update of my iOS App
2. Reject same update for MacOS because name contains reddit
3. Approve same update for VisionOS

Fun fact, the name is shared across platforms, and it's already propagated to MacOS App Store..

The new .glassEffect in SwiftUI (for #iOS26 ) it's just 1 line of code and looks beautiful.
(Sorry It might be hard to see on a screenshot).
