Wow, Swift Bharat was incredible. Still processing but genuinely one of the greatest iOS conference experiences I’ve ever had. @mufasayc.com and team crushed it. And the Swift community in India is loaded with inspiring, passionate, and kind people.

I have to go back next year 😁

Tuk tuk at night in Bangalore traffic is quite the experience 😅

Also, generally big thumbs up to Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport. Not only is it unique and beautiful architecturally, but the food selection even when I landed at 3am was surprisingly good, haha

My word, South Indian food makes a good first impression. This benne masala dosa was excellent

Pretty cool to see the Burj Khalifa, even if it’s just barely through a hazy Dubai sunset from a plane window 😅

Short layover in Dubai, but luckily I found this cute local place where I can try some authentic Dubai cuisine

Whoa 😳 – first flight with United’s free Starlink WiFi onboard. This is pretty wild

I'm coming to Bangalore, India this week for Swift Bharat! 🇮🇳

It'll be my first time ever in India – what food must I try, and what places should I see?!

(unfortunately my time is brief so probably won't be able to leave the city at all)

The swap between lenses while zooming has gotten soooo smooth. Still some small warping at the seam, but it’s pretty remarkable

The 8x on the new iPhones is pretty sweet

This is almost exactly my impressions so far (except haven’t really used ANC yet)

Transparency is super weird, especially with my own voice? Its very shrill compared to real life and the AirPod Pros 2

AirPods Pro 3 impressions:

• ANC is significantly better than APP2.
• Fit is more comfortable.
• Transparency mode is weirdly sibilant and scratchy compared to APP2. Like, I can hear "more," but not as realistically. Not a fan.
• Not a fan of the sound signature. Too bassy.

This was a completely original thought I had about my iPhone 17 Pro influenced by no one else

Haha, no this is the 17 Pro. This is just me parodying all the Air posts 😅

Hey! @darknoise.app is featured in one of the iOS 26 lists on the App Store! 🥰

Sorry, iOS 26 review. And actually reading it again it looks like it might not actually require AirPods Pro 3's? I'll have to play around with it

Dark Noise got a little shout out in @dmoren.com's AirPods Pro 3 review!

I actually have a super long fade out feature whenever you set a timer in the app. Wonder if I could detect if you're pausing from sleep to do the same? Or a setting? I'll play around when my new AirPods arrive Friday! 😁
