I’m with you on the Duo

Going to have it as my main phone + replacing my iPad. Kinda worried I might miss my iPad Pro m1, but HEY!

@chancemiller.me

Im in for an iPhone Duo.

Selling my iPad Pro M1 AND my iPhone 16 Pro Max. Getting an apple pencil when its usable with the Duo and BOOM two products into one.

Honestly, I find myself just sitting in my car using Siri on my AirPods instead of the Tesla infotainment system. Apple CarPlay, helllooo?

I talk to Siri all the time—it really feels like having a personal assistant now with the update.

Proper service

A week or so ago my cross-body strap broke on my Tech Folio Brief. All the way over from San Fran to Norway, it just arrived today.

Honestly surprised by the level of service.

Back to business

Waitlist for Siri AI - it’s now been over 50hrs

And my indexing is not done yet

Should I be worried?

On the waitlist for the new Apple Siri AI… 10hrs and counting

@9to5mac.com The new Apple Creator Studio - I for one think its really impressive.

I run the SoMe-channels for our business = Pixelmator Pro is going to be nice
I record and edit podcast = Logic Pro, sweeeeet

But first and foremost Im an academic writer and presenter, so the whole iWorks is simply

@chancemiller.me When do you think the rest of the world will get stuff like;

Workout Buddy
Call Screening
Transcription from Voice Recording

Among other stuff. Really missing Call Screening and Workout Buddy - had it when betatesting with UK-language, now Im back to Norwegian, and I miss it!

Once Fitness+ was available in Norway, I started using it.

Still using it, close to every day.

Strength workouts, treadmill workouts (which are really, really good, must say), "Build-a-yoga-habit" and Meditation (small 5 minute when I arrive at the office each day).

Blown away by how good it is
January 15, 2026 at 8:21 AM
Idk but I feel I won the lottery

Can’t wait to finally test it out in #Norway

Will it be included in Apple One though?

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!
September 11, 2025 at 6:15 PM
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
August 15, 2025 at 6:08 AM
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

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
