I’ve seen some developers complaining about having to implement this but any developer who doesn’t want to give users this option is one whose software I wouldn’t trust or use.

Absolutely spectacular footage.
Here’s why so many apps are asking to use Bluetooth on iOS 13
While this is a good feature, Apple has done a poor job of explaining to average users like my wife why these notifications are suddenly popping up on her iPhone.

As always, security updates are important so backup your device and then install.
Alternative iOS app store doesn’t require a jailbreak
One of the advantages of the App Store is the vetted apps. I feel 99% safe in downloading any app from there. This is going to be the wild west of unregulated and potentially harmful apps for your iOS devices. I wouldn’t go near it with a ten-foot pole.

21 levels of skateboarding with Tony Hawk
I’ve been on a skateboard exactly two times in my life and both times I eventually fell off and almost busted my head open so I’m never going to try these tricks but it is interesting to watch them in slow motion with Hawk’s expert commentary.
The unsolved case of the most mysterious song on the internet
What a great story.
Linea loves Inktober
There are all kinds of these “30-day challenges” – photography, writing, even mustaches. If you have someone who loves to draw, this might be of interest to them. My 13-year-old loves drawing and I’m going to see if I can get him interested in this. I can’t draw worth a damn but I want to buy a new iPad Pro and an Apple Pencil 2 for him just so he can use the Linea Sketch app.
About an issue that impacts third-party keyboard apps in iOS 13 and iPadOS
Ooops…
The ultra-wide camera in the iPhone 11 models is fixed-focus, doesn’t support Raw capture
Optical image stabilization isn’t really needed on an ultra-wide lens and the lack of RAW support probably won’t affect many users. Apple might be able to fix the problem, which is assumed to be due to distortion present in the uncorrected ultra-wide images, with a software update at some point in the future.
Grindstone is a perfect puzzler to showcase Apple Arcade’s promise
I’ve played many of the initial Apple Arcade games but none have captured my interest as much as Grindstone has. Unfortunately, I’m stuck on Level 16 and can’t get any further. But it was fun while it lasted.

How Apple Arcade wants to bust up free-to-play games. And why that’s a good thing
I don’t know if Apple Arcade will “kill free-to-play” gaming as some have predicted but it is a shot across the bow to those developers who use that model to make money.
iPhone 11 and 11 Pro drop test: We couldn’t crack these phones, but we broke the camera
I take all these tests with very large grains of salt because everyone’s “Oh crap! I dropped my phone!” situation is different but they can still be interesting. I will admit it’s painful to watch so many brand new phones get destroyed. I wih I had that kind of money.
A week on the wrist: Apple Watch Series 5 Edition in titanium
Hodinkee is a site that reviews very high-end watches. Predictably, they really like the latest version.

I find this kind of stuff fascinating. There’s some really interesting details into how the major organizations perform their testing.
iPhone 11 Pro behind the scenes first look at the new triple-camera system
This is not much of a “behind the scenes” look but it does show the iPhone 11 Pro can and will be used by professional photographers and videographers.
Review: iPhones 11
I remember writing iPhone reviews with the focus usually on whether the device was powerful enough to get through our daily routines. We are so far past that point now; it’s not even a consideration for me anymore. However, there are a lot of other things to look at in the new iPhone 11, Pro, and Pro Max. […]
Do it yurtself
Check this project out. My wife has always wanted a Yurt in our backyard but I thought it was silly. Looking at this beautiful design makes me think it’s less of a silly idea – but we’re still not doing it.
This wild motorcycle police chase through São Paulo is straight out of a ‘Bourne’ movie
Both the cop and the bad guy are incredible riders.
