I am trying to sign up for the #AppleDeveloperProgram. It wants a photo of my ID, front and back. Not wild about that, but signing up to distribute an app through Steam was no less invasive.
Except it doesn't work. They want a photo taken with the FaceTime camera, fine. "Sorry, it was blurry or obscured. Please try again." "Sorry, your files could not be uploaded. Please try again." "This account is not eligible for the Apple Developer Program. Please contact support."
I'm now on hold listening to fucking opera music after the admittedly very friendly and patient Apple rep admitted he's a contractor and so's his boss and yeah, telling me to wait 24 hours to see if it gets better was probably bullshit.
Get to someone who actually works for Apple. "Have you tried it on your iPad?" Why, no, because I use my iPad for apps and not development stuff. I just wanna publish my game on Steam and check the Mac button.
Okay, let's get the app installed on the ipad and go through the same process again. Oh, it opens up a webview to access the camera. With a "cancel this webview" bar across the bottom, almost completely obscuring the submit button. And it defaults to the front camera, but there are no camera controls. No tap to focus, nothing. It'll get the obverse of my license because there's a face for it to home in on, but the reverse seems specifically designed to fuck with automatic focus. Holograms, shiny glare, no clear face, just bar codes and tiny-ass type. Nothing I do can get the iPad to take a clear picture in this mode, and there's no way to tell it to just use a file already on the device.
So now I'm having to wait while whatever Apple team is in charge of this shit tries to figure out if it's just me or if this might be a systemic problem with their verification process.
Such first world problems, I know.

Apple Extends Lifeline to Older iPhones and iPads
Apple has recently issued a critical software update for a range of older devices. This release is specifically for iPhones, iPads, and iPod touch models that cannot run modern iOS versions. The update extends essential security certificates required for core services like iMessage and FaceTime to continue functioning properly. Without this update, these key features would eventually st...

Celluloid: A Virtual Camera App for macOS
I’ve had a Logitech C920 webcam for years. It’s a solid camera, but I’ve always hated its color grading — it pushes everything red, making me look perpetually sunburned on video calls.
Zoom has a “Touch up my appearance” filter that helped a bit, but most of my calls happen in Google Meet, which doesn’t have anything comparable. I wanted a solution that worked across all my video apps — set it once and forget it.
So I built one.
Introducing Celluloid – Camera Filters
Celluloid is a macOS menu bar app that creates a virtual camera with real-time filters and color adjustments. Select “Celluloid Camera” in any video app — Zoom, Google Meet, FaceTime, Microsoft Teams, OBS — and your enhanced video just works.
Features include:
- Film-inspired filters — Black Mist (dreamy diffusion), Halation (vintage highlight bloom), Gate Weave (film projector movement), plus classics like Noir and Chrome
- Color controls — Brightness, contrast, saturation, exposure, color temperature, and sharpness
- Built-in LUTs — Professional color grades ready to use, including one specifically tuned to fix the Logitech C920’s color issues
- Battery friendly — The camera only activates when an app is actually using it
- Privacy focused — All processing happens locally on your Mac. No data collected or transmitted.
How It Works
Celluloid uses Apple’s CMIOExtension framework to register a virtual camera device with macOS. The main app captures video from your physical webcam, applies filters using Core Image and custom Metal shaders, then sends the processed frames to the camera extension via CoreMediaIO sink streams.
The technical journey was interesting — I tried several IPC approaches (file-based sharing, CFPreferences, shared memory) before landing on sink streams, which turned out to be the correct approach for CMIOExtensions running in their restricted sandbox.
Some technical highlights:
- SwiftUI for the interface
- AVFoundation for camera capture
- Metal-backed CIContext for GPU-accelerated filter processing
- Custom Metal shaders for the Black Mist diffusion effect
- CVPixelBufferPool for efficient buffer reuse
- Darwin notifications for IPC between the app and extension
Get It
Celluloid – Camera Filters is available now on the Mac App Store.
The code is open source on GitHub.
If you’ve ever wished you could look a little better on video calls without buying studio lighting, give it a try. And if you have ideas for new filters or LUTs, I’d love to hear them.

Perhaps a better candidate for #tunetuesday #loveyouloveyounot is this sweet, sexy, heartfelt ballad. It was the theme tune for my relationship with Red. I thought she was the one. She set me on fire, reawakened me. We dreamt about the rest of our lives together. And then it all went to shit. I used to sing this song to her over FaceTime when we were literally oceans apart. It’s a beautiful song and a tough listen now.

Took photos of my great-grandma-embroidered table cloths for family, unironed though, as that gets done before use. Though I’d share here too. 😊
The bluebirds square (first) was the one I put the lace edging around with mum on Facetime in her final days, so it hasn’t been used. It’s the first time I’ve had it out in years and I’m relieved the grief has softened.
If we ever have to move to a place with a small kitchen, I’d use the square ones more often, but only the big one with the napkins works on the current table.

"Фирменный сервис Apple для видеозвонков попал во внимание российских властей. В Госдуме говорят о росте числа мошеннических вызовов в нем.
Где-то это уже было
Шифрование – это вселенское зло
Как пишут РИА «Новости», Гаврилов прошелся и по сквозному шифрованию – технологии, которая очень сильно затрудняет перехват сообщений и вызовов в современных мессенджерах.
Facetime под прицелом?
Упоминание российскими чиновниками того или иного сервиса для текстового, голосового и видеообщения как в том или ином плане опасного для россиян, иногда ведет к их частичному или полному запрету."
Одни хотят запретить всё и вся, другие не запрещают, но хотят читать все сообщения, а цель одна - полный контроль над людьми, как будто это их собственность.
"Поддержка спорного законопроекта Chat Control, разработанного для борьбы с распространением материалов о сексуальном насилии над детьми (CSAM), по-прежнему сохраняется в Европейском союзе.
Законопроект, официально представленный как датская версия инициативы по сканированию сообщений на наличие противоправного контента, требует от всех мессенджеров обязательной проверки пользовательской переписки, включая шифрованные сообщения. Если документ будет утверждён, внедрение может стартовать уже в октябре 2025 года."

ChatGPT z GPT-5 w Apple Intelligence już we wrześniu 2025
OpenAI zaprezentowało wczoraj GPT-5, nową wersję modelu, który napędza ChatGPT. Apple potwierdziło, że integracja ChatGPT w ramach Apple Intelligence zacznie korzystać z GPT-5 wraz z premierą iOS 26, iPadOS 26 i macOS Tahoe 26 — już we wrześniu 2025.
Co da nam Apple Intelligence wsparte integracją z najnowszym ChatemGPT?
- Przede wszystkim Siri z ChatGPT, która będzie w stanie odpowiadać na bardziej złożone pytania (np. analiza zdjęć i dokumentów).
- Narzędzia do tworzenia tekstów i grafik na podstawie opisu.
- Inteligencję wizualną: analiza otoczenia z użyciem aparatu na bazie analizy danych przez OpenAI, a nie Apple Intelligence.
Apple dba o prywatność – ukrywa adresy IP i nie pozwala OpenAI przechowywać zapytań. Użytkownicy mogą opcjonalnie połączyć konto OpenAI.
Przypominamy jeszcze nadchodzące nowości w iOS 26 (i pozostałych systemach z rodziny 26) w Apple Intelligence:
- Tłumaczenie rozmów na żywo (FaceTime, Wiadomości, Telefon).
- Ulepszona inteligencja wizualna.
- Otwarcie modelu bazowego dla deweloperów – nowe, bardziej inteligentne aplikacje.

iOS 26 將整合 ChatGPT-5，強化 Apple Intelligence 功能
https://9to5mac.com/2025/08/08/ios-26-chatgpt-5-integration-apple-intelligence/
📌 Summary:
蘋果宣佈 iOS 26 將內建 OpenAI 最新推出的 ChatGPT-5 模型，進一步強化 Apple Intelligence（類似 Siri 的智慧助理系統）的人工智慧能力。當蘋果自身的系統無法處理特定指令時，Apple Intelligence 將調用 ChatGPT-5，提供更優異的推理判斷、程式編碼支援，以及強化的語音互動和影片理解能力。現階段 ChatGPT 已可在 iPhone 15 Pro 及更新機型透過 Apple Intelligence 進行網路搜尋、文件查詢和視覺智能功能，並且使用者不需 OpenAI 帳號即可使用，連結帳號則享有訂閱特權。除此之外，iOS 26 還將新增即時語音翻譯（Live Translation）功能，於 FaceTime 和簡訊中提供跨語言交談的便利，並強化系統層級的視覺智能搜尋。蘋果同時強調隱私保護，透過遮蔽 IP 地址並禁止 OpenAI 紀錄使用者請求，確保用戶資料安全。更新預計與 iPhone 17 同步於下月釋出。
🎯 Key Points:
→ ★ ChatGPT-5 整合：iOS 26 中 Apple Intelligence 將利用 ChatGPT-5強化語言推理和程式編碼回應，提升對複雜指令的理解和處理能力。
→ ★ 現有功能延續：ChatGPT 在 iPhone 15 Pro 及後續機型的 Apple Intelligence 中，可用於網路搜尋、文件查詢及視覺智能，且用戶無需 OpenAI 帳號即可使用基本功能。
→ ★ 新增功能：iOS 26 將加入即時語音翻譯（Live Translation），支援 FaceTime 與簡訊應用程式跨語言即時交流，強化全球溝通便利。
→ ★ 隱私保護措施：蘋果將持續使用技術手段遮蔽 IP 和禁止 OpenAI 保存用戶請求內容，強調使用過程中資料不被蒐集與分析。
→ ★ 上市時間：iOS 26 將於 iPhone 17 新機同時釋出，預計在 2025 年 9 月正式推出，意味著廣大用戶將可體驗更新後的智慧助理功能。
→ ★ 實務意義：此整合不僅提升 Siri 等智慧助理的應用範圍與精確度，亦促使語音及視覺智能服務更普及，進一步改變用戶日常手機操作與跨語言溝通模式。

Jesienią Apple zaprezentuje dwa nowe urządzenia dla smart home
Apple szykuje intensywną jesień — wśród ponad 15 zapowiedzianych premier znajdą się dwa nowe urządzenia dla inteligentnego domu: odświeżony Apple TV 4K oraz HomePod mini 2. gen.
Czego można się spodziewać po tych dwóch nowościach?
Nowy Apple TV 4K pojawi się po blisko trzech latach od poprzedniej wersji. Zmiany obejmują:
- nowy procesor Apple A18 lub A17 Pro — gotowy na Apple Intelligence,
- możliwa wbudowana kamera — zintegrowane FaceTime bez potrzeby korzystania z iPhone’a,
- pierwszy autorski chip Apple do Wi-Fi i Bluetooth – szybsze połączenia i lepsza synchronizacja urządzeń,
- możliwe nowe funkcje w tvOS 26.
HomePod mini 2. generacji ma być natomiast szybszy, lepszy i… bardziej kolorowy?
Mam nadzieję, że także mnie awaryjny, ponieważ większość HomePodów mini po 3-4 latach dotyka awaria panelu dotykowego. Uwaga! Można to obejść i głośnik nadal będzie działał. Cały proces opisałem w jednym z wydań mojego newslettera oraz omówiłem w podcaście.
Po prawie 5 latach od premiery czas na pierwszy upgrade HomePoda mini:
- nowy chip Wi-Fi/Bluetooth od Apple – lepsza współpraca z innymi urządzeniami,
- możliwe wsparcie Wi-Fi 6E lub Wi-Fi 7,
- nowe kolory,
- czy obsłuży Apple Intelligence i nową Siri? Jeśli tak, potrzebny będzie chip S9 lub S10 (z Apple Watcha).
Choć Apple opóźniło premierę bardziej zaawansowanego „HomePada” (być może ostatecznie nazwanego HomePod Touch), nowe wersje Apple TV i HomePoda mini mogą znacząco wzmocnić ofertę Apple Home.
Prawdziwe nowości mamy zobaczyć dopiero wiosną 2026 roku.

Nowy iPad Pro z procesorem Apple M5 i dwoma przednimi aparatami
Według Marka Gurmana z Bloomberga, nadchodzący iPad Pro z procesorem Apple M5 będzie wyposażony w dwa przednie aparaty – do zdjęć i wideorozmów zarówno w orientacji pionowej, jak i poziomej.
Obecne modele zasilane Apple M4 mają jeden aparat z przodu, zoptymalizowany pod tryb poziomy. Face ID działa w każdej orientacji, ale nowe rozwiązanie zwiększy wygodę użytkowania np. podczas połączeń wideo.
Po dużej aktualizacji w 2024 roku (OLED, cieńszy design), nowy iPad Pro otrzyma raczej drobne usprawnienia – procesora Apple M5 i podwójną kamerę z przodu.
Apple najwyraźniej doda drugi, przedni aparat po stronie portretowej do nadchodzącego iPada Pro z Apple M5, prawdopodobnie po to, aby FaceTimerzy i fani selfie mogli równie dobrze korzystać z urządzenia w obu orientacjach. To nie jest szczególnie rewolucyjne, ale jest to miłe ulepszenie.
– komentuje Gurman.
Przyznam szczerze, że kompletnie nie rozumiem tych planów Apple i wygląda to na czysty marketing i dokładanie rzeczy na siłę.
Ming-Chi Kuo prognozuje masową produkcję iPada Pro z Apple M5 w drugiej połowie 2025 roku. Patrząc na cykl 18-miesięcznych aktualizacji, nowość może zadebiutować we wrześniu lub październiku, choć coś mi mówi, że ta premiera odbędzie się wiosną 2025 roku.

Apple opóźnia premierę nowego HomePada
Nowy hub Apple dla inteligentnego domu (nazwa robocza „HomePad”), który miał zadebiutować w 2025 roku, został oficjalnie opóźniony.
Główną przyczyną są problemy z nową wersją Siri oraz funkcjami opartymi na Apple Intelligence. Według Marka Gurmana z Bloomberga, premiera urządzenia odbędzie się dopiero w 2026 roku – równolegle z nową generacją Siri.
Co już wiemy o urządzeniu? Ma ono posiadać:
- 7-calowy ekran z grubymi ramkami
- kamerę u góry
- wbudowaną baterię (z opcją ładowania)
- system operacyjny: homeOS
- obsługę aplikacji Apple, wideorozmowy (FaceTime), widżety w stylu StandBy
- sterowanie głosowe i pełna integracja z Apple Intelligence (chip Apple A18)z
- zarządzanie inteligentnym domem.
Powód opóźnienia?
Urządzenie jest ściśle powiązane z App Intents – technologią umożliwiającą Siri dokładniejsze sterowanie aplikacjami i funkcjami. Z uwagi na wielokrotne przesunięcia premiery nowych funkcji Siri (najpierw iOS 18.4, potem 18.5, teraz “kiedyś w przyszłym roku”), Apple nie zdąży z gotowym produktem w 2025.
