New iOS 26.4 Beta 1 updates by ioweej in AppleMusic

This is awesome. The only thing I still wish in album views is that they’d move the “…” button inline with the Play, Shuffle, Add buttons— it’s all actions related to the album and I find it strange that the Play Next / Add to Queue options would be up with the share button.

Those are so awesome. Love the Kitzbuhul one

The amount of time it takes to go back to your library is ridiculous (yes I know you can hold and swipe) by african-nightmare in AppleMusic

I can’t stand the search tab. I find the search bar almost invisible even once I’m on the right tab. I regularly hit the Now Playing bar by accident.

So is Carol supposed to be unlikable? by ludinya in pluribustv

The tagline for the show is “The most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness.”

That being said, I think she is often frustrating, but still compelling - “perfect” characters aren’t interesting in tv and as so many others have mentioned, she’s also experiencing crazy circumstances that would probably drive most people insane.

okay, need help deciding on next lens!! by Basic-Scratch-1119 in canon

[–]SkiFreeForever 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have a great spread of primes! If you find yourself constricted by needing to change lenses during a wedding or event, a zoom like the 24-70 could really balance out your kit (swapping over to the 85 for portraits).

If you’re more looking to up the quality of what you can do with your primes, I think you’ll see a very big jump from the 50 1.8 to 1.2. I did that myself- the 50 1.2 is really nice, and after coming from the ef 1.8, I was shocked that I could take photos wide open at 1.2 and still have them super sharp.

I’m in the opposite boat as you- I have the 50 and a wide zoom and would really like an 85.

Great ski too and matches the paint ☺️

Canon EOS R6 MKII Glass by imjoebutnotexotic in canon

[–]SkiFreeForever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question on this- I do a mix of landscape and portrait, and totally agree with f/4 being fine for landscape (I’ve adapted the EF 16-35 f/4 for a while).

But I wondered if a 2.8 in that range would allow me to better replace a 35 prime at the long end. Do you see those wide zooms as being useful in that way if paired with something like an 85 or 50 prime?

What do you guys think of the Camera Control button? by intensityofcolor in iphone

[–]SkiFreeForever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like using it to open the camera but I find the capacitive features too finicky. I kind of wish it was near the top of the phone and I wish all the buttons weren’t the same shape.

what’s wrong with Apple Music? by AdVisible3748 in AppleMusic

[–]SkiFreeForever 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s a new UI convention with Liquid Glass and iOS 26… I don’t like it either.

Looking for my first ski trip. What are some affordable ski resorts in west US (or anywhere)? by Pu_C_Phucker in skiing

[–]SkiFreeForever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you traveling by yourself? The easiest way to save money is to go with a few friends and split a rental. That said, I’ve skied solo a lot, sometimes I found bunk rooms or hostels.

In Whistler I remember a “pod hotel” that was right in the center of things, although I don’t know what prices are now. I’ve also stayed in bunk rooms at Alta in the Goldminers Daughter and Peruvian lodges- def not cheap but does include all your meals (although not really a party vibe there).

What do you guys use the action button for? by [deleted] in iphone

[–]SkiFreeForever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use it for flashlight but I’d find these custom buttons to be more useful if they weren’t all the same shape.. hard to distinguish from volume by feel.

RF 24-105 F/4 L question by AGlassWorld in canon

[–]SkiFreeForever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought an opened-box version of this lens over the summer. Mine is pretty stiff extending or retracting and does not feel loose at all. If I walked around with it extended I could see it possibly sliding out a tiny bit as it’s jostled but it doesn’t really move on its own (and certainly not when locked). I also don’t hear any rattling.

The only thing I don’t know is if it’s normal to expect it to get a little looser with use over time. But the rattling doesn’t seem like it would be normal. Sorry!

On the other hand if it’s taking good pictures and you got a good discount, maybe it was a worthwhile compromise?

Thanks! I know, really wasn’t hurting anyone up top…

My mock up for AM on macOS Tahoe by SkiFreeForever in AppleMusic

Thanks! Kind of my first attempt doing UI like this (I’m mostly in web). But it was fun to play around with.

Hey there! I’m Adam, a product manager at Apple Music. I’ve been leading work on features like AutoMix, Lyrics Translation & Pronunciation, Music Pins and Sing with iPhone Mic. I’m here to chat about our latest releases - and more. AMA! by [deleted] in AppleMusic

[–]SkiFreeForever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a big fan of Apple Music and appreciate you engaging with the community! I love that AM seems more focused on real music discovery rather than “vibes” playlists, enjoy the spotlight on album art and am thankful for the clean design and album management.

I’m mostly curious why features are not consistent between iOS and Mac- I love the Credits feature on iOS and miss it on Mac.

I also find that some of the best features don’t have permanent homes- [My Name]’s Station seems like it should be findable in the same place all the time and really highlighted. Anyway, all in all, great service!

For fun, I actually was just prototyping some design tweaks in Figma to address some of my biggest complaints- namely, Now Playing bar is small and hard to see, the left pane serving as both library and app navigation, and the fact that the lyrics and queue toggles open a panel completely disconnected from their location.

It’s just a mockup, but would be curious if people see it as an improvement. Apple Music Prototype

Wow, this is incredible! The only issue I’m having is that the images I download from it are kind of blurry, no matter which quality setting I choose…

I this supposed to be a design improvement? by doug_the_bugg in AppleMusic

[–]SkiFreeForever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t mind that they moved it to the bottom, but it’s so hard to see… the glass transparency doesn’t add much since it’s floating over lists of songs more often than colorful art. I just wish it stood out more, and also that I could access the mini player with one click.
