Jonathan Borichevskiy (via Peter Steinberger, Hacker News): In the four months I’ve had it I’ve told at least a dozen people about it, and I’m gonna keep telling people. Being able to take my entire computing environment to places without being worried about glare has expanded the range of environments I can create in. It […]

Howard Oakley: This year marks the twentieth anniversary of Apple’s announcement of the introduction of code signing, although it wasn’t unleashed until Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard the following year (2007). […] Apple had long maintained that users would remain able to run unsigned code in macOS, but that changed in November 2020 with the […]

Benjamin Mayo (Hacker News): Apple is testing a new design for App Store search ads on iPhone. Some users on iOS 26.3 are noticing that the blue background around sponsored results is no longer shown, blurring the line between what paid ad results look like and the real search results that follow. This means the […]

Is there anyone who doesn’t find this sad?

From Apple’s iPhone Mirroring documentation, boldface emphasis added:

• Click to tap: Click your mouse or trackpad to tap. You can also swipe and scroll in the iPhone Mirroring app, and use your keyboard to type.

• Open the App Switcher: Move your pointer to the top of the iPhone Mirroring screen until the menu bar appears, then click to open the App Switcher.

• Go to the Home Screen: If you’re in an app and want to return to the Home Screen, move your pointer to the top of the iPhone Mirroring screen until the menu bar appears, then click .

It certainly sounds like these instructions are for users who, sadly, have the menu bar hidden by default. But there are no or buttons in the menu bar. These buttons are in the iPhone Mirroring window title bar, which is, for all users, hidden by default:

but which presents a proper window title bar when the mouse pointer is hovering in the area where the title bar will appear:

Since I’m feeling generous, I’ll chalk this up to an absentminded mistake on the part of Apple’s documentation team. If I were feeling cynical, I would instead suspect that Apple has so lost the plot on the Mac that they now employ documentation writers and editors who do not understand the difference between the menu bar and window title bars. (It doesn’t help that the iPhone Mirroring window title bar, like so many windows in Apple’s recent Mac apps, doesn’t have a title.)

For what it’s worth, this documentation is the same for both MacOS 15 Sequoia and 26 Tahoe.
