My LinkedIn feed is full of a growing narrative predicting a coming SaaS apocalypse. It’s actually full of AI-slop-thought-leadership as well, but that is another story. The idea is that generative AI tools like Claud will eventually become so powerful that businesses will simply replace all their specialized SaaS software vendors with a single AI tool. As someone who’s worked in IT for 20 years and currently uses these tools in the workplace, I want to immediately push back on that idea
Belkin has a beefy new 25W MagSafe battery on the market – packing a whopping 10,000mAh of capacity. It has two killer new features: a kickstand, and a second MagSafe ring. Initially unveiled back at CES 2026, it’s now available for purchase.
While CarPlay was mentioned only once during the WWDC26 keynote, it includes several improvements and, as always, a new set of wallpapers. You can download them below.
Apple has redesigned the Apple Pay checkout flow in iOS 27 for apps and websites. The changes make it easier to switch between different payment cards and see key details about the order you’re placing.
Vibe coding has shaken the App Store. As stated at WWDC, over 1000 apps are being submitted every hour. Apps can be built substantially faster now – creating a flood of submissions. This is a bit of an issue when there’s only one true method of distributing apps on iPhone, at least in most of the world.
Apple recently introduced a higher review bar for App Store submissions, and while that’s certainly a step in the right direction – I don’t think it’s a full solution.

Many people want to spend less time on their iPhones, whether that be for productivity, socializing more, or something else. Screen time tools prove useful here, providing users with an idea of how much time they’re spending on their iPhones. For many people, though, they end up being too lenient to be effective.
With ‘oh my hours’ – the app flips the script, and instead makes you aware of how many hours you’ve wasted in an undesired app, rather than simply telling you you’ve hit your screen time limit.
