This is my first ever blog. I have been learning SwiftUI for about a year now. If you’ve seen my projects, you would know that I’m aiming to publish an open-source app very soon.
Since its introduction at WWDC earlier this year, Liquid Glass design material has left me dissapointed and reluctant to switch. It is reminiscent of Cydia tweaks applied to jailbroken devices during iOS 6 days. I would refrain from experimenting with this new design as my app is focused on productivity and finance. The last thing I would want is users having problems with illegible text.
Today, iPhone 17 has been unveiled to the public. Having presented the iPhone 17 lineup, it appears that Apple deliberately wants users to choose the costlier 17 Pro over the Air variant. It took me by surprise that Air, being priced the same as last year’s 16 Pro, features only a single camera! It has all the telltale signs of why one should avoid buying it. The red flags start right from its uncanny resemblence to the Google Pixel 10 series and a battery capacity lower than the base variant of iPhone 17 series.

Interestingly, AirPods Pro 3 now come with Live Translation feature to help people who speak different languages communicate with each other in their native tongue. They sport clinical grade 1 hearing-aids same as last year along with a new heart rate sensor. Continuing along the flow was the introduction of Hypertension Notifications on Apple Watch Series 11, which can alert users if signs of chronic high blood pressure — or hypertension — are detected.2
Despite recent lawsuits surrounding Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2, the tech giant has been trying to make a comeback with a redesigned Blood Oxygen feature in compliance with a recent US Customs ruling. This will in effect send the sensor data (SpO2 levels measured by pulse oximeter) on Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 models to a paired iPhone where it will be stored in the Health app for monitoring.
With these refreshments, Apple hopes to turn around its perception of introducing cosmetic upgrades each year. They made sure to emphasize their stance throughout the launch event. The average consumer on the other hand would definitely take note of the decoy pulled off out of thin air.😉
