Oddbean new post about login | logout The handwriting thing is super cool on iPad Pro though. My phone (or apps) didn’t like iOS 18, but I am running it on my M1 iPad Pro. Any favorite features or standout PITA’s that you’ve found yet?
The home screen customization is interesting. The handwritten calculator is really cool. What I’m really interested in is the new training load feature. It needs 1 more day of data to calculate. I’ll be able to compare with my other app soon
Hopefully I’ll be able to get back on a routine soon. Definitely want to hear how you like it and how it compares. That was a standout for me during WWDC as well.
I really like how the fitness app can determine the effort for certain activities like cycling but you can also override it with your perceived effort. That’s smart
Oh and I forgot about RCS. Great to finally see messages reactions properly with non apple users
I understood that wasn’t turned on yet. That’s cool. 😎
I see hearts over messages (from android users). What’s weird is that I also still see some “liked an image from xyz”
I’m going to be interested in how it turns out. RCS is one of the few legitimate complaints I have about android. The “open” standard doesn’t have e2ee, and some of the other nice things are also google closed extensions. I was a pixel user when RCS rolled out, and it was painful - google stepped in a standardized it finally, but they failed to open their extensions up. 🤷 every product has something different someone doesn’t like, but it’ll be interesting to see how nice those two will play. Since China forced the issue, and Apple put no emphasis on it during WWDC, I’m not hoping for much, but reactions and hopefully higher res photos would be awfully nice.
