You may have heard that iOS 26.4 beta includes AI playlist generation for Apple Music.

So *of course* we went back and compared its results to Beats Music's The Sentence feature from 2014.

Unsurprisingly, it did not like "I’m in bed, and feel like waking up, with your mom, to musica Mexicana."

Today, we’re relaunching MacStories as one unified website for everything we do. No more separate Club and MacStories websites. No more standalone AppStories website. Same subscriptions, same perks – fewer complexities. It’s always been about MacStories. It’s time for everything else to be part of it, too. My editorial about today’s launch, and the journey so far: https://www.macstories.net/stories/welcome-to-the-new-unified-macstories-and-club-macstories/

Tomorrow, we're taking a major next step for @macstories@mastodon.macstories.net – something that we should have done years ago.

Scary and exciting, but can't wait to see the results of our work tomorrow.

Stay tuned 👀

For the final issue of @club@mastodon.macstories.net MacStories Weekly of 2025, I'll do something I haven't done in a while:

I'll write about my iPhone Home Screen and what I've finally settled on.

Now's a great time to become a @club@mastodon.macstories.net member (and get access to 10+ years of archives): https://club.macstories.net/plans

Here we go 🚀

Today, we're introducing the 2025 edition of MacStories Selects, our annual celebration of our favorite apps for Apple platforms.

I'm especially happy with our selections this year, and proud to put the spotlight on the excellent work of indie developers.

Enjoy 🏆 https://www.macstories.net/stories/macstories-selects-2025-recognizing-the-best-apps-of-the-year/

This poor iPad mini is doing 8 windows at once on iPadOS 26 and it’s both so funny and incredible at the same time

Given that Math Notes are available on iOS 18 too, so far, I count exactly *two* exclusive iPadOS 18 features:

- Redesigned tab bars
- Apple Pencil Smart Script

Operating system for $2,000 computer. Two exclusive new features.

Makes sense. 👍
