Jason Snell:

Ten years sure seems like a long time.

Ten years ago the iPhone got physically big for the first time. (In the ensuing decade, iPhone revenue has doubled.) Ten years ago Apple announced the Apple Watch.

Ten years ago I found myself without a job for the first time.

I ran into Snell before (and again after) Apple’s event last week, and he mentioned that it marked Six Colors’s 10th anniversary. My reaction: I somehow simultaneously think of Six Colors as still kinda new and a bedrock, irreplaceable part of the Apple media firmament.

On days like today, it’s the first site I visit, because of pieces like these:

• Dan Moren: “iOS 18 Review: Your iPhone, Your Way”
• Snell: “iPadOS 18 Review (ish): Math Notes, Calculator, and Weird Tab Bars”

And, nearest and dearest to my heart, Snell’s review of MacOS 15 Sequoia. All of that, just today.
