iPhone 17 Pro impresses in new teardown video

The iPhone 17 Pro is truly a successfully engineered iPhone. I have a rule about only upgrading my MacBook and iPhone every 2 years, but I’m seriously considering upgrading my 16 Pro 1TB to a 17 Pro 1TB this year (update: sticking to my rule and waiting for the 18 Pro) 🥳🤪😅

JerryRigEverything tears down the iPhone 17 Pro and is wildly impressed. Beneath the hype: Apple packed in upgrades so good they spark serious gadget envy.

Apple might skip iPhone 19 and jump straight to XX

We just went from iOS 18 to iOS 26 and skipped iOS 19, so why not skip iPhone 19 too… I’m thinking an iPhone XX sounds better 🥳😅🤪 (The Roman numeral for 20 is XX. That’s because X represents 10, and when you put two X’s together (10+10), you get 20.)

Apple may ditch the iPhone 19 name and jump straight to iPhone 20. It’s a flashy rebrand play that could make the next launch feel bigger than ever.

Liquid Glass tab bar for the web is tempting as a weekend project

It could be pretty sexy if someone made a clone of the new Liquid Glass Tab Bar for the web. I think that would work well with some of the mobile-first projects I’m working on right now. Maybe it should become a weekend project 😜

Apple says tab bars should make top-level navigation fast, clear, and always available. Keep tabs few, stable, and clearly labeled—icons help, clutter kills.

Claude gets memory with optional activation

Not a huge AI news story that changes everything, but an important feature for Claude users (OpenAI’s ChatGPT has had it for a long time). I like that Claude has chosen to make it opt-in, so it doesn’t become “Now EVERYONE has it,” but more of an optional rollout: “If you want, you can turn it on now in your account” — nice move for people who are privacy-wary. 🤖 I personally use Claude Pro for a lot of coding stuff, ChatGPT for more business/writing/etc., and Gemini for Golang code.

Anthropic’s Claude now has memory, letting it remember past chats and user preferences for more personalized help. The big win: less repetition, smarter responses, and a more seamless AI experience.

IKEA launches a mini bed that rewards your sleeping phone

IKEA has launched a tiny new bed — for your phone 🙀 The idea is that the bed has a small NFC chip that opens IKEA’s app when you tuck your phone into it, which then starts monitoring the gyroscope. If you can then leave your phone there all night without touching it while it “sleeps,” you can earn IKEA gift cards as a reward. Right now, it’s only available in the UAE and not in Denmark, but it’s apparently become so popular that IKEA is considering rolling it out worldwide 🥳 The only thing I’m thinking is ... how can we hack it so we get free gift cards 😅🤓 ahhaah

IKEA UAE’s “Phone Sleep Collection” is a YouTube video showcasing sleep-themed phone content with a shopping angle. More promo page than story—quick, branded, and built to grab sleepy scrollers.

Automatic sharing of posts to Threads and X

Maybe I should get it coded so my posts here automagically end up on my Threads profile, X, and maybe my other websites too, so they get read by someone other than my mom and you. 🫵🏻 😜😅

Meta’s Threads API lets developers publish text, image, video, and carousel posts. Posting is a simple 2-step flow, but watch limits like 500-character text caps and Tenor GIF support ending March 31, 2026.

MacBook Pro M5: Powerful, but worth waiting for

I think I’ll wait until next year, when there are rumored to be major updates to the MacBook Pro platform, even though my MacBook Pro M2 Max 1 TB is starting to show its age, especially the battery… 🪫 surely it can make it… just 1 more year 😅

MacBook Pro M5 (2025) delivers surprisingly strong all-round performance, solid battery life and classic sleek Apple polish. Great buy at S$2,199—unless pricey RAM/storage upgrades and fingerprint-prone black bug you.
