It’s been a busy fall for Apple. iOS and macOS 27 arrived in September, iPhone Duo went on sale just a few days ago, and more Mac announcements are expected later this week. Between the new software and hardware, there’s plenty for Apple users to explore. Of all these announcements, the iPhone Duo has arguably attracted the most attention. As the first iPhone with a fundamentally different form factor, it introduces new possibilities for how we use our phones. But new hardware is only part of the story. Just as important is how apps take advantage of it. For an app like Craft, which brings notes, tasks, and documents together in one place, the larger display and new multitasking capabilities open up interesting new ways to work. Craft is ready for iPhone Duo from day one, with an interface designed to take advantage of its new form factor. And while the Duo is getting much of the attention right now, Craft has also seen a steady stream of improvements across iPhone, iPad, and Mac over the past few months. And there’s an additional bonus for anyone looking to give Craft a try: 40% off for life with code 9to5Mac40, available through this exclusive 9to5Mac offer. more…

It actually seems like an episode of Black Mirror that it’s legal for a company to buy and sell our personal data without our consent, but that’s the reality in the US. Apple has built some really useful tools to limit future tracking, including App Tracking Transparency, Hide My Email, and iCloud Private Relay, but this doesn’t solve your actual problem, though.
