    Websites saved to the Home screen get a huge upgrade in iPadOS 13, finally behaving like true apps. 🎉 They open as stand-alone apps, not Safari tabs, and display as such in the app switcher. They also hide Safari's toolbar. Works beautifully with Instagram.com.

    Sad news: today’s my last day at @macstoriesnet. I’m really going to miss it. Working with @viticci, @johnvoorhees, and @the_axx has been an honor and pleasure. They’re the best. 🧡 Life’s leading me down a new path, but I’ll always treasure these past 4 years. Love you all. ✌️

    I’ve never before thought that widgets belonged on an iOS Home screen. But now I’m thinking that’s exactly where they belong.

    If you have an Apple Watch, the best way to check battery life on AirPods is to tap the battery percentage in the Watch’s Control Center.

    Today's Apple event is advertised in the TV app, and unlike previous events, you can actually watch it directly inside the app.
