| Posted: 23 Oct 2017 06:39 AM PDT Hey! For the last almost three years, I've been developing a brand new Reddit app for iOS called Apollo. I used to work at Apple, and since then I took what I learned and built Apollo from the ground up to look and feel like a gorgeous Reddit experience that is distinctly iOS, following the design guidelines Apple put forth, to almost envision what Reddit would look like if Apple themselves built a Reddit app, with all the power, speed and flexibility you could possibly want. Download link: https://itunes.apple.com/app/id979274575 (If you're having trouble with the download link, make sure you open it in Safari rather than the official Reddit app, which seems to break it. You can do this by tapping the ••• menu in the top right of the official Reddit app browser and select Open in Safari.) Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKbPZVDg-Z8 I posted a few years back, and literally thousands of awesome Redditors joined the beta program to help sculpt the best Reddit experience possible and form Apollo into what it is today. So much of the feedback fundamentally transformed Apollo beyond what I could have done or foreseen myself. It's available for download for free, and I'd love for you all to check it out if you have the chance (and send me feedback over in r/ApolloApp if you have any!). Fundamentally, I focused on giving it a gorgeous iOS design, with a really powerful Media Viewer, incredible comments experince, a full Markdown editor, fully customizable gestures, and so much more. It's insanely powerful, while also maintaining a really clean, simple design. Again, your feedback would be monumental. This is just the beginning for Apollo, and really hope I can keep building onto it for a long time coming with even more incredible features. QuestionsWhy build it? There's already Reddit apps.While there are some nice ones, nothing exactly scratched my itch as to what a Reddit client could really achieve on iOS. Alien Blue came close, but still had a UI that especially once iOS 7 launched felt outdated and somewhat out of place on iOS. Android also has some really great clients, but I just think the experience on iOS has been lacking and is due for something to really show what Reddit on iOS can be. I built Apollo with the goal of not just being the best Reddit experience on iOS, but the best Reddit experience period. What's wrong with the official Reddit app?Nothing, if you're happy, great! Reddit has a lot of really smart people on it. For me, however, I'm not a fan of how they're trying to get one central look across iOS and Android, I really think an iOS app should look and feel like an iOS app, and an Android app should respect Material Design. I think designing for the middle results in a clunky experience where the potential of both platforms is never realized to the fullest. Apollo is an iOS app period, built to take advantage of iOS features and feel like a beautiful, familiar iOS app. I also think they discontinued Alien Blue without incorporating the best parts of it that people loved the most, such as the minimal, uncluttered UI (Alien Blue was much more compact and concise), as well as powerful features like swipe to collapse comments, full screen, inline previews for links in comments, etc. Apollo has all that and more, because I think it's essential part of browsing on iOS. I'm still using Alien Blue, why use Apollo?I can say without question Alien Blue was an incredible app, I loved it. But it's very clearly not being taken care of anymore. If you plan to get an iPhone X, it won't even display properly and will have black bars at the top. For everyone else, it's simply not getting updates or being maintained properly, and it's obviously got worse and worse. Imgur links don't work that well anymore, Reddit's own content links certainly don't, more and more things are stopping loading. Lots of new features of Reddit are missing (and even some old goodies, like multireddits) too. I really built Apollo with the power of Alien Blue in mind, I think if you're a fan of Alien Blue you'll feel right at home in Apollo. It's free? How do you make money/expect it to survive?I more or less just copied how Alien Blue did it, where it's free to download and use forever (with no ads), and you can unlock a "Pro" version in the app for $2.99 that unlocks some extra features like submitting posts (same as Alien Blue did), automatic dark mode, customizing gestures, customizing the app icon, and a bunch more. I mean, I'd love to give out everything for free, but I can't afford to compete with a billion dollar company like Reddit. I'm just one guy in an apartment with an awesome girlfriend and two cute cats, and obviously need some form of revenue in the app to sustain me being able to build the app at all and give it a healthy future. Choosing which features to include in Pro is obviously hard, but I thought Alien Blue set a good standard with its unlockable features, which allowed it to have a healthy, long-ish life. I hope that's understandable, I just really want to be able to keep building onto this app for a long time coming. Does it have ads?No, no ads anywhere. iPad app?Yep, it's a universal app! I have awesome plans to really bring it further and to the next level on iPads as well. Available everywhere?Yes! International, baby! What are your plans for Apollo for the future?A lot. :) I have a ton of things I want to build for Apollo, from an even better, super-powered iPad app, to even more powerful content filtering, more moderator features, full comment search, etc. My plan is to have users vote on which features they want to see the most, and I'll work on those, so it'll become even more of a Reddit app for Redditors, by Redditors. If you have any more I'm more than happy to answer them! I'll be at my keyboard all day until I've answered everything or my wrists fall off. EDIT: Oh boy, you all are hard to keep up with. I will answer every question though if it takes me weeks!

| Posted: 23 Oct 2017 01:52 PM PDT Wireless CarPlay was introduced in the iOS 8.3 update in early April 2015. Since then, only BMW has introduced the support for it in their new 5 series, 7 series, and upcoming X3. It's worth noting that less than one year after the initial CarPlay announcement, it was available in mainstream vehicles from Hyundai, Kia, and several GM brands. Now pretty much every manufacturer except Toyota has stepped to the plate and offers wired CarPlay on their vehicles, but no one else has brought out wireless CarPlay. I know that things move pretty slowly in the automotive technology field, and it can take a while (usually a mid-cycle refresh or new model introduction) for new tech to make an appearance. Things don't start trickling down until the German or Japanese luxury brands start the process, then their lower-tiered brands and their competitors come on board. Wireless CarPlay adoption seems to have hit a snag somewhere, but why? At CES 2016 VW was barred from demoing wireless CarPlay. I'm surprised that VW hasn't released any cars with it, since they clearly had it ready to go a couple of years ago. The Atlas and Tiguan are all new for the 2018 model year, but both lack wireless CarPlay. I did see this article six months ago, so maybe there is hope that more manufacturers will offer support for it. I have to imagine that there is more than one third party manufacturer making vehicle infotainment systems, so it can't be that they've all been waiting for Harman to get their equipment updated, right? Edit: fixed my duplicate words. [link] [comments]  |

| Photos app on iOS 11 has quietly become a beast. Posted: 23 Oct 2017 09:31 AM PDT Digging through Memories and it's pulling together photos from weddings a decade ago and accurately grouping into beautiful movies with accurate titles. Pictures taken on my DSLR and added to Photo Library on the Mac, no problem, dates are bang on from the exit data I guess. People tab is now simply amazing. Grouped my kid into two people, early years and a bit older. Took ten seconds to tell it it was one person and boom it found nearly every pic ever taken of her, had to approve a few small groups of ones that were 'unsure' but basically it worked perfectly. Even picked her photo off the wall of a pic of my living room and added it. It's really good now. When did this happen? Photos app was so-so for so long. Now it's amazing. [link] [comments]  |

| For the first time ever, I’m seriously considering a white iPhone Posted: 23 Oct 2017 12:54 PM PDT I've always hated the trade off with white iPhones having the white front panel but with the iPhone X, the white model seems to look really good. However I haven't really seen that many pics or videos of it in black, so it's hard to tell. I feel they're marketing the white version way more than the black one. [link] [comments]  |
