    Safari & App Store disappeared in Beta 26.1!

    I was using Safari this morning when I got up, then just came back to my phone after the kids went to school… and I noticed an icon was missing on my Home Screen. It took me a minute to realize what it was (Safari), and it wasn’t running in the background. I do not know why it disappeared, and I...

    Which noteworthy Tim would you keep?

    I might actually have to think about it for a moment. (Perhaps not much more.)

    [iOS 26] App Store Hidden Purchases are incomplete?

    Just went to the Hidden Purchases part of the App Store only to realize that my history of hidden apps is incomplete. It’s showing maybe a couple of months back when it used to be every single app since the first device you ever had from years ago. Is this new behavior or maybe a bug? Problem...

    Mac App Store Reload option in menu is grayed out.

    Is it just me; or are others unable to refresh the app store after the Tahoe release. My refresh button is grayed out. Trying to determine if its an app conflict on my system or a beta bug.

    Mac App Store offering to update apps that aren't supported on this Mac.

    On one of the user accounts on my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), it keeps saying there are updates, but all the updates aren't available for this version of MacOS (11.7.10). If I download the older version, the update doesn't go away. Ever. I don't understand why it'd be offering...

    Apple is heading for a decline.

    The past 12 months really hasn’t been kind to Apple. The lawsuits, the steps back in their products and ecosystem as a result, one negative headline after another, struggling stocks. But on top of all that, Apple isn’t feeling exciting anymore. Now before you start keyboard mashing to say how...

    Universal Apple emails me my wife’s app subscription renewal notice 🤔

    Today I got an email from Apple about an app subscription renewal that I didn’t recognize. On closer inspection I saw that it was my wife’s subscription and that the notice had been sent to us both. Is this a normal policy for Apple now? Because to me this seems like a pretty big privacy...

    Will AVP apps be expensive?

    Do you think apps will still be 99c or free with in-app purchases, considering devs need to spend 3.5k + 99$ a year before they can even produce a compelling app? I think apps will cost a fortune on this thing to recoup production costs.

    While this article is gaming related, it is in the same realm of what Apple has faced/facing now with their Apple Store. While my search-fuu is not the best here on these forums, I cannot help but see the similarities from past lawsuits against Apple. EA, anyone? REUTERS article Gist: If...

    Universal Do you think that GPT/LLM is the future of App Store search?

    To say that App Store search is broken isn't anything particularly new. At this point Apple appears to be using only the app title, subtitle, keywords, category name and some metrics that it has regarding the apps that may influence the app to rank higher for searches but not to rank for more...
