iPadOS 16 Delay

Today Apple confirmed to Tech Crunch that the iPadOS 16 will get pushed back to later in the fall and officially get released at version 16.1.

As the iPadOS creeps away from iOS, I don’t think this should be a surprise. Indeed, I could see this being the model going forward. Apple earns half of its revenue from the iPhone. While a delayed iPadOS release is not a big deal, a delayed iPhone very much is a big deal. If I were in Tim Cook’s chair, I would also be focused on the iPhone right now too.

Shortcuts for Mac Webinar Series

We just wrapped up the Shortcuts for Mac Field Guide initial webinar series. All the recordings and shortcuts are now uploaded and available in the course curriculum. That’s another five-and-a-half hours of content and 31 new shortcuts.

I plan to continue with more Shortcuts for Mac webinars over time. Future topics will include additional features with macOS Ventura updates and third-party app support. I expect we will see a lot of interesting third-party app support for Shortcuts over the next year.

How many emails fo you get per day? Have you ever counted? I’m going to bet that not all of them are important. But have you ever thought about show much time you’re spending to filter through the unimportant ones to get to the important emails that actually need your attention? SaneBox, MacSparky’s sponsor this week, can help you clean up your inbox. 

SaneBox can filter your emails, such as less important emails or newsletters you’ve subscribed to. You’ll start by training SaneBox’s A.I., which will study how you handle your emails. SaneBox will then move your unimportant emails into whatever SaneBox folders you chose. You’ll get a daily digest that summarizes the less important emails that went to your SaneLater folder, and when you’re done reading the digest, you can delete or achieve them. Instead of dealing with constant distractions interrupting your time, increase your focus and productivity and save time with SaneBox. You can give it a try. Sign up for a free trial and you’ll get a $10 credit you can use towards a SaneBox subscription. Get your email sanity back with SaneBox.
