Brian Voong on his excellent YouTube channel Let’s Build That App:
With the introduction of iPhone 10, we as developers are now faced with another option for our apps to be displayed in. Fortunately, Apple has provided us with the necessary APIs to get around the unsafe regions of this phone. We do this by using the new safeAreaLayoutGuide anchors in our code. Enjoy.
Great overview of the very easy to implement adjustments.
Side note: If you’re jumping into iOS development I highly recommend subscribing to this channel and going back through his videos. It is a trove.
Personalize the look of your Apple Watch™ Sport with WatchDots™. Available in a variety of colors, WatchDots™ are precision cut, durable and thin. This is how the Apple Watch™ Sport should look.
Personally, I have no issue with the red dot on the Series 3. We’ll see what I think once I have one in my hands.
In any case, no, this isn’t a problem with the watch’s Cellular service. It’s an existing issue that’s just suddenly become extremely relevant.
Glad to see that it is very likely going to be solved in short order. My bet is that there are a few people at Apple that are going to pull a few all-nighters to get an update to us by next week. We’ll see if I’m right.
That being said, my iPhones have all had a similar problem. If Wifi signal is weak, or is fully connected but there is no connection to the Internet through that network, then it does a terrible job switching to LTE. Perhaps this is more a bug in how Apple handles this on all of their devices. Maybe now it will get some attention.

We had quite a view from our room’s balcony.
The subjects of last-night’s comprehensive tests at the Devroe household. The jury is still in active deliberations. Related.
Apple Watch Series 3 with cellular networking completely alleviates this anxiety. It is not a replacement for a phone, and is not supposed to be. But it lets you leave your phone at home when you go for a run, or in your locker while you’re at the gym, or in your hotel while you go to the beach, and not worry in the least that you’re out of touch.
I can’t remember a time I’ve been so excited to not have my phone.
Reviews are beginning to trickle in – both in text and on YouTube – and I’ve been paying close attention. The Apple Watch clearly isn’t for everyone. And cellular is for even less people. But overall, people love the watch.
Eliza has had a Series 0* since they day they came out. She wears it nearly every day, it is her only watch at this point, and she’s using it more and more as the software gets better. So Apple is definitely iterating in the proper direction. It reminds me so much of the original iPhone (even the way it is aging) I can’t even describe it.
I’ve never used an Apple Watch** but I’m excited to try one. I’ll be sure to let you know how necessary the device is once I’ve had it for a month or two.
John also mentions that he’d like to see a camera and an always-on display in an upcoming version of the Apple Watch. If there was one more feature that I could request of the Apple Watch it would be the always-on display. Perhaps a forward-facing camera for Facetime makes a lot of sense but I do not think I’d ever expect the Apple Watch to have a camera you’d take vacation photos with. Unless, of course, you’re a spy – then obviously you need the camera in the watch to take photos of Top Secret documents.
* Believe it or not, the Series 3 is actually Apple’s fourth iteration of the Apple Watch hardware. It is likely very confusing to people that don’t pay close attention to these things. The current offerings are Apple Watch Series 1, Series 3, and Series 3 with cellular. It sounds as if Series 1 is very old compared to the 3 but in reality it is only about a year old. Apple hasn’t been doing very well with names lately.
** Obviously I’ve toyed with Eliza’s. In fact, recently I’ve been putting it through its paces in the evenings learning the menus and options in preparation for when I get my Series 3. They’ve made the watch very customizable.
While Apple Maps has improved release-after-release it still seems to be inaccurate and incomplete when compared to the same locations in Google Maps. I don’t know if Apple can catch up. It seems Google Maps has much better usage and community support – which is what makes this sort of data better over time.
I released Unmark 1.7.2 on Github. More about Unmark and its development in the future.
I am enjoying blogging now more than I have in a long time. The addition of microblogging greatly removes the burden of constantly writing essay pieces and the clamour for perfection that it instills. And that’s something to be thankful for.
Agreed.
Congratulations to Colin. I expect him to hit 2000 in no time.
iPhone users, well, there’s still great stuff there—Do Not Disturb When Driving is going to make the world safer—but it’s a bit less of a world-shaker.
Not a world shaker? This isn’t a ho-hum, hum-drum update for iPhone. This is going to save a ton of lives, injury, heartache, and money. I wish every single review led with strong advice to turn this feature on immediately.
I cannot stress enough that people turn this feature on today. Please please please.

These hawks were used to keep the pesky, french-fry thieving, gray birds away from the tourists. Most effective.
I’ve been using the iOS 11 public betas on my iPhone and iPad for several releases and I think it is one of the most important updates to iOS. It brings lifesaving features to the iPhone and powerful features to the iPad.
Tomorrow iOs 11 is being released to the public, I thought I’d jot down a few things that I believe people should do on the day they upgrade, so that they don’t just move on with their busy lives and forget.
By doing the above you may just save a life. But, also you’ll get far more use out of the device you already own and take full advantage of this monumental release of iOS.
If you have any others, feel free to leave them in the comment section below.

Almost no one mentioned the AR demos that Apple had set up in the hands-on area and at the Apple Store. Incredibly impressive.
The Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension lets you carve out a separate box for each of your online lives – so Exhaustive Shopping Researcher Self can steer clear of Humble Bragging Social Self, and Super Professional Work Self can go about the bizness without worrying about being followed by those other two.
What a fantastic feature from the Firefox team. I’m unsure “container” is the right word. I may have gone with just “switching” or something. But, either way, I hope Safari makes this easy too*.
* I think Chrome has something akin to this, but I believe it is tied to a Google account. It shouldn’t be.
