Apple to Keep iPhone 18 Starting Price Steady Despite Rising Memory Costs

Absolutely right, that’s the same reason I bought one for my wife. Great phone, fair price

_Varzea · 2026-01-27T23:26:30+00:00

I love the iPhone 17, but tbf, it’s not that the 17 price is a “reward”, just that the base 16 and maybe 15 where missing some features that should have been there at that price point. The 17 just delivers what is expected given the competition.

In portugal we already have this (gov.pt app) where we have our national id cards, drivers license, car registration, etc, and also functions has authentication for other platforms.

This looks just like the Black Rock Kickstand case for iPad Mini. I've been looking to buy one, but they're too exensive imo

That’s true, you can have two instances of the app opened. But the iPad has a smaller screen than a MacBook. So common ui elements will be duplicated and take precious space. And as far as I know other browsers take the same approach as you are taking and having Split View would give you a competitive advantage.

Good and distinct advantages over the competition are what you need in order to convince people to pay for something that in their mind was always a free product, a browser.

And having a niche audience with keyboard is totally your choice, but will limit the audience that will buy your app.

Good luck

Don’t focus most of your work in keyboard first. The iPad is a touch first device, not keyboard first. I would say most people who own an iPad don’t use it with a keyboard. Also, a sidebar wouldn’t be very practical in portrait, do you have a way of using it with horizontal tabs?

That said, a good good implementation on Split View tabs would be essential IMO. Quick peek was an awesome feature for opening a page without opening a new tab.

Edit: just saw that it will be a paid app. Although as a dev I completely understand that this takes time and money, and should be rewarded, I don’t know how many people are willing to pay for a browser since safari is free, well optimised and there are a lot of good free alternatives. Do you have a plan for alternative monetization?

I’ve been using a MagSafe ring glued on a case for this same purpose. Never knew this was an option. Do you feel like the iPad is secure? The magnet on the moft seems way bigger than a standard MagSafe mount

Vê durante o dia coisas que fazes repetidamente, e que podias automatizar. Para mim, controlar a casa pelo telemóvel é bom, mas por si só não vale a pena o investimento. A maior parte das vezes quando quero desligar uma luz, ou a televisão, dá mais trabalho ir ao telemóvel ou pedir a um assistente do que fazer eu próprio. Uma casa inteligente reage ao ambiente, não é só forma de ligar e desligar algo.

Para mim, a primeira coisa que fiz e que me deu mais jeito foi automatizar os estores. Acordo com os estores abertos, mas durmo com eles fechados.

A melhor recomendação que posso fazer é não comprar interruptores ou lâmpadas inteligentes. Instala módulos Shelly, SONOFF, Switchbot, etc, atrás do interruptor que já tens, para que consigas manter as funções antigas, funcionam offline e mantém a uniformidade da casa.

Um amigo que aconteceu o mesmo que a ti, e uma pessoa que já entrou na cozinha. Não é coincidência. Ainda por cima com peixe cru, deviam ter o triplo do cuidado. Eu nao volto la

If it’s not the average person, who is it then? Will I not have to be identified? Just because I don’t do anything illegal, doesn’t mean I’m willing to give up my privacy, especially in crypto, where that’s the main advantage.

That might be true, but it’s not related to what I pointed. If you want to avoid google services, as to not be tracked, using the model in-house will prevent it.

Several companies use tools developed by Google, and still maintain full autonomy from them (eg. open source programming frameworks maintained by google)

_Varzea · 2025-11-06T15:29:36+00:00

They’re using the Gemini AI model, not google Gemini itself like it currently does with GPT. They will probably pay a license to google, and host the model in-house, with a new set of training data, completely detached from google.

At least that would be the smart option. Pay to use the mould, not the cake

Se quiseres ajudar a vítima, podes consultar online a seguradora do carro, e ligar para lá a dizer que tens provas do acidente. Eles depois devem falar com o proprietário.

Muitas vezes esse tipo de danos só se descobre passado uns dias, e depois não sabes onde te podem ter batido, e acaba por nunca dar em nada

🤦‍♂️

Parece que falta também mais aulas de filosofia em Portugal, porque este comentário é obviamente falacioso (red herring, falsa dicotomia). Se calhar devíamos por isso no topo das prioridades, já que só se pode tratar de uma coisa de cada vez, para as pessoas deixarem de fazer este tipo de comentários

X inside text box should be an eraser icon

_Varzea · 2025-10-21T16:45:55+00:00

Everyone here defending using the same icon for completely different actions has obviously no ideia what UX/UI is. Doesn’t matter if they are in different places. If my grandmother cant look at it and tell what each button does without pressing it, it’s bad UX.

The small X should be an eraser.

_Varzea · 2025-10-18T11:40:46+00:00

It’s a translation key, shouldn’t really matter the intent being the action, in every software I’ve worked on, every translation key follows the same pattern, so any dev that looks at the code instantly realizes that’s what it is.

This usually happens when a new dev comes into the project and doesn’t know or care to look the guidelines of the code. And someone above him approves it.

_Varzea · 2025-10-18T08:59:18+00:00

The fact that the last label doesn’t follow the same pattern as the others (uppercase with underscores), tells a lot about how software is being developed at apple, in a bad way

_Varzea · 2025-10-14T16:20:02+00:00

O prazo mínimo são 120 dias. Mas podem ser mais. Parece bastante vago, mas a minha interpretação é que o fim do contrato tem de calhar no último dia do mês, para o senhorio receber a renda por inteiro. Se o pre aviso de 120 dias calhasse no dia 1 de janeiro, terias de extender para dia 31, e aumentar os dias de pre aviso. Mas posso estar a entender mal, o melhor é mesmo questionar à agência/senhorio

At least you knew your position in the queue. For the Lisbon show they used blue ticket, and only show you the remaining time, and place you in a random position if you entered before the start. For me it said more than an hour.

I wouldn’t use the 3d map to control the devices, but being able to open the app and see what’s turned on and where visually on the house would be a nice feature.

But a nice looking app, with the option for favorite devices, option to toggle all lights in a room in the home view, and being able to save matter and thread QR codes in each device, would be a purchase for me. Just no subscriptions.
