Apple could definitely get more revenue from Fitness+ if they simply opened the service to other countries with good English as 2nd language

Like - Scandinavia would contribute to some subscribers!

However much I enjoy the Tech Brief Folio for my day to day business and travel, I can tell that I might be overloading it somewhat.

Two laptops (one 14” MBP & one 13” HP), one 11” iPad, and a lot of chargers, wires and necessary accessories seem to “stretch” the fabric abit.

This is not a beautiful set up photo

Its my gear after the security check at the airport

Ive been using the Tech Brief Folio from @sfbags.bsky.social every day since I got it over a year ago

Still amazes me how much I can fit in it - and it reduces time spent in the security check which is nice

The new change to Fitness is mind blowingly useful

For setting up intervals, starting the workout, keeping track of intervals etc as a live activity

Just a huge update

@chancemiller.me

Got the new Ultra 3

Up from the Series 7

Now what? 🤩
September 20, 2025 at 2:55 PM
@chancemiller.me

Is this new in the RC 26?

I’ve workout out throughout the beta cycle and newer seen this screen pop up. It’s even a live activity!

Doing something new - and trying out AppleTech while doing it.

New Podcast just out.

Be aware - its in Norwegian!

If AppleTv+ had a subscription for European Football, like Premier League, La Liga or the Norwegian Tippeligaen, I would not hesitate to watch it through AppleTv+.

MLS - Im so jealous they have this option in the states. I just dont want to watch live matches at 02:00 AM local time.

New Siri mode (in the future, the rumour news wheel) is going to be really cool.

Just don’t give this virtual assistant a face

Keep the rainbow lines on the side

Give me Jarvis - interrupt me in conversation in a polite way, as long as it’s good, and cool

In Latest @9to5mac.com podcast, they mentioned that Spotlight on MacOS26 Tahoe didnt work.
This happened to me as well on the last Public Beta.
Just updated to the latest public beta.
I noticed that the Mac-storage has "no applications", which is why spotlight finds nothing. Its all "system data"

If apple CarPlay is going to be usable in EVs, we need more integration with range and preheating of the battery

Just read @9to5mac.com new article: 9to5mac.com/2025/07/18/a...

At this point it's just clear how much better the service is in the English-speaking countries.

Which is annoying, since plenty of other countries will do just FINE if some of the stuff has to be in english

Take my Norwegian money🍎
Apple One just keeps getting better, here’s what’s coming next - 9to5Mac
Apple One benefits from new features being added to Apple’s services all the time, and there are plenty of fresh updates coming in iOS 26.

Did you notice the small visual detail in Messenger dynamic backgrounds?

How the background reacts to your reactions on messages? Or when the keyboard opens or closes?

Like the ripple effect on the underwater background

Is

Just

Beautiful

Apple Intelligence in shortcuts app

Mindblowing

But!

And this is a big one

Norwegian is not supported, so I have to jump some major hoops and use “dictate text” and run that through ChatGPT instead, and run that output to Apple Notes

Not 100%, but it’s really cool
June 28, 2025 at 7:15 PM
Audiomix just works

Amazing

Not 100% all the time, but its Beta 2
June 26, 2025 at 4:50 AM
@sellverge.com Please - poke your contacts within Apple.

We need more focus on using MacOs/iPad OS and the MPB/MacMini/iPad hardware for gaming and streaming.

Using only one machine/device at a time

Like the hardware is right there! Just let me route different audio sources to my stream!

Workout buddy on Apple Watch / iPhone accompanied me on my 5k today

It gave me feedback, and then said “Keep pushing with this track from Jay-Z and Linkin Park”

It was correct. Daym. Even got Norwegian songs correct! Interesting
June 20, 2025 at 9:06 PM
Can we also be allowed to change the messages background (the home page for all the messages)?

From black

To something fancy

@9to5mac.com Is visual intelligence out there in the new beta? Like the screenshot-enhancement? Caaaaant find it
June 16, 2025 at 2:11 PM
Why is workout buddy dependent on my iphone?

I bought my Apple Watch with cellular capabilities for the exact purpose of leaving my phone home when I go for an outdoor workout…
June 15, 2025 at 6:01 PM
The new OS´26 feels smooth across the board, apart from the occasional hiccups in a dev beta. Ive reported a few.

All in all, Im so thrilled using my Apple Ecosystem across the board, from my MBP, through my iPadPro, iPhone, Apple Watch and back home to the Mac Mini.

Splendid
June 11, 2025 at 4:19 PM
I need a 1:1 session on this, please. How can I utilize this for my workflow, holy moly!
June 10, 2025 at 9:52 AM
So new OS is finally here to test out

Even though Apple intelligence is coming to Norwegian, I’m reluctant at this moment to swap from English

I mean, I’ll be loosing Apple News

And when will it be available for Norwegian even!??
