Apple Arcade now has classic arcade cabs. Almost literally if you own an Apple Vision Pro. But even on iPhone and iPad, the new Retrocade app is great. For Stuff, my take is that Apple Arcade just accidentally became the best place for normal people to play retro arcade games.

Apple Creator Studio is weird. Over at TapSmart, I ask (from an iPhone/iPad perspective), Should you subscribe, and what are the alternatives?

Liquid Glass still sucks. I made a video about yet another glitch that provides more evidence Apple didn’t do nearly enough accessibility testing. Or, you know, actual design. Still, my hope is that Sebastiaan de With’s return to Apple (TapSmart) might herald improvements across the board.

Apple Watch sleep score is a joke. I’ve gone back and forth on this, wondering whether the sleep tracking is helpful. The one good thing is it’s given me a reality check about when I fall asleep. But the ratings are laughably awful. I’ve been ill and a few nights back ended up barely sleeping at all before 3am and was then fully awake for another two hours. I eventually passed out and stayed in bed until almost 11. Cue: Apple. In bed on time? YES. Enough sleep? SORTA! Disturbances? NOT MANY! 74/100. I can only assume to get under 50, you’d need to go to bed at 4am yet stay awake and spend the remainder of the night dancing. And even then you’d get 49.

Social media bans have consequences. As the Australians are finding out (Eelemarni Close-Brown for the Guardian). Advocates claim the ban is protecting children, but it’s not that simple. In many cases, it’s isolating them from their friends – especially those who found online activity to be a safe space, or their only way to socialise (for example, if they are housebound). Slow hand clap for everyone who was warned about this and hurried the legislation through anyway. I imagine the same will happen soon enough in the UK, before our own round of OH NO CONSEQUENCES.

Free iPhone games can be great. Here’s the latest update to my round-up for Stuff, now including unhinged party game Astro Party Ex.
