<\/a><\/p>\nThere are a few points to highlight. 1) The Phone app isn\u2019t in the dock anymore. I once considered putting it in the Social folder altogether. (Some kids even ask \u201chow do I delete the Phone app?”) 2) “Calendar 5” by Readdle has officially replaced “Week Calendar” as my favourite calendar app. Apps by Readdle are\u00a0always excellent, the other great app by Readdle being \u201cPDF Expert 5\u201d. 3) I don\u2019t always turn to third party apps. Some made by Apple, though lacking features, are just handy enough. \u201cWeather\u201d, \u201cReminders\u201d, \u201cSafari” and \u201cMail\u201d are fine examples. Yes, I\u2019m using \u201cOutlook\u201d primary for push notification, but \u201cMail\u201d remains my favourite app reading and sending emails.<\/p>\n
Back in a few years ago, when the App Store first started, asking others \u201cwhat apps are on your iPhone\u201d became a social phenomenon. This coincided with the \u201cwhat\u2019s on your iPod\u201d phenomenon in the early 2000s. It tells a story about who you are. When you keep your home screen neat and tidy, your life shouldn’t be in a huge mess either. On the contrary if you keep the \u201cGame Centre\u201d or even the \u201ciOS tips\u201d apps on the first page, I doubt you pay much care to your work.<\/p>\n
Anyway perhaps that\u2019s enough of self obsession. What I do isn\u2019t always the best. What Apple does isn\u2019t either. And that\u2019s sad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
It\u2019s December, end of the year. However I\u2019m not going to review what happened this year, not yet. I just wish to share some thoughts on how we manage our digital lives in 2015. I don\u2019t know about you, but … Continue reading
