Courtesy of Kevin Kelly’s Recomendo newsletter (it’s free), here’s a neat iPhone ring hack for those of us who keep the ringer silenced:

Like many people I keep my phone ringer on vibrate, but I don’t usually carry my phone on me – I may leave it on a desk – so I often miss calls. I’ve greatly reduced missed calls by setting the phone to flash its flashlight and flash its screen while it vibrates. That flashing light is enough to notice from a distance. It is easy to program on the iPhone. Go Settings > Accessibility > Audio Visual > Flash for Alerts. For Android: Settings > Accessibility > Audio & Screen Text > Flash Notifications. — KK

My wish for #WWDC2023 is if I get a voice mail on my iPhone, I actually have the voice mail available before or at the same time as the transcribed text message, instead of hours or days later.

Rockin’ old school today, both in terms of music and the throwback iOS interface thanks to Zhenyi Tan’s Medley.



There has been what I hope will be a temporary change to my iPhone home screen.

Yes, the Twitter iOS app sucks so bad, I spent $12 on the third-party client everyone said was still working, on the hope my credentials would work with it.

So far, so good.

There have been some changes.



Riddle me this: why is my “space gray” iPhone 12 mini more black than my “space black” iPhone 14 Pro?
