Photoshop is now on iPhone. I’m not sure I want it after all. In my column for Stuff, I conclude that the dream was for apps like Photoshop to come to mobile years ago. They did. Adobe didn’t. Now I’m not sure Adobe being on iPhone is relevant for most people.

The iPhone SE was small and relatively cheap. The iPhone 16e is neither. I wrote about this for TapSmart. Honestly, I think the branding is just marketing spin from Apple. It’s absurd from a tech standpoint to talk about a phone being part of the iPhone 16 family when it doesn’t look like it nor have features to match. The lack of MagSafe is especially baffling.

Given current politics, people are looking for alternatives to US services. The linked site outlines European options for the likes of email, search engines, and so on. Also, while people on Bluesky won’t want to hear it, that’s a US organisation too. By contrast, Mastodon is decentralised and based in Germany. I’m not suggesting quitting Bluesky (I won’t be), but I am gently suggesting more people – and organisations – give Mastodon another shot and use both.

Speaking of the US, a story broke about a German tourist being held by the CBP. I’ve fortunately never had that happen to me, but it did remind me of a surreal encounter I had when travelling to WWDC. And bear in mind I play life with a cheat code when it comes to the US – white man with Home Counties (ish) English accent.

LOK Digital is a great puzzle game, like a crossword puzzle where the creator got drunk and mashed keys to fill the gaps. I added it to my best Android games list, but it’s also available for iPhone, iPad, Windows and Mac.

Speaking of games, I updated my best one-thumb games for iPhone feature for TapSmart. It’s always amazing to see what game creators can do with the most minimal of player interaction models.

It’s actually sunny in the UK. Time for a spring clean? I wrote about how you can use your iPhone to help.

Lego made a T. rex fossil set almost as big as an actual dinosaur. OK, slight exaggeration. But it’s a metre long. I love Lego, but where do people store this stuff?
