: so yeah, i’m back on #spotify. still don’t like the #app, the whole feeling, mess, but love the recommendations it’s giving me. I know that a lot of this is my fault, I probably should configure #apple #music the way I want, but that’s also the reason for switching – I don’t want to configure my #music. it should work the way I want without even having to say the word “configuration”, and with #apple #music I feel there’s too much teaching involved. too many nudges, too many hints. #spotify just knows – and that’s what I like. for now.

: few days ago I fell into this little phase of listening to Kasia Kowalska again – a Polish singer with this beautiful, unmistakable voice. those songs are pure #music from my childhood. and it’s funny to watch how differently I approach #music now… the same tracks that once hit me with a whole storm of emotions, that still carry all those old memories somewhere in them.
today I look at #music through #dance. through movement. through the way my body reacts before my mind even catches up. and this shift feels huge for me. crucial. and honestly… it feels great.
and the ironic thing is: it’s a few days later now and I don’t even listen to Kasia Kowalska anymore. I’m actually a bit overwhelmed with Polish #music, and today I even decided to go back from #apple #music to #spotify. so yeah… #moods change. but that moment was real.

: I have Tourette’s. a pretty mild case. I’m fine with it – I can control it, or rather blend it into my daily life, my movements. it’s all good, I don’t feel bad about it. people usually don’t even notice – even the ones who’ve known me for years.
BUT! things get really weird when I use my #apple devices.
oh man, that’s when the tics start being a real issue.
but not real tics – the ones #apple makes me do. the ones I actually love. I keep moving my head in random directions, answering #siri through my #airpods. I wave one hand around to control my apple watch. and sometimes the other hand shakes too – enough to activate the damn “shake to undo” gesture on my iphone.
now that must look strange.
: #apple #music, when I play something called “my station”, keeps giving me sad songs. well, mostly. spotify didn’t do that. and i wonder – does apple music think i’m a sad person? need sad songs? need this reflection time with music? or does it just remember me as that person?
I used apple music for many years, then switched to #spotify just a year ago. and honestly, I’m a completely different person now. #spotify knows only the new me – without the old luggage.
three years ago, my life was quieter. I was rebuilding, searching for my new self. kind of lost in some ways, unsure what to do, I guess. transforming.
and when I started using spotify, I was already dancing, moving, breathing differently. had that energy that spotify saw – and learned.
so maybe it’s time to raise apple music to who i am now.

: dear #apple, listen up, very carefully: i don’t want my #iphone to fold (or unfold). i don’t want it to transform into an #ipad – that’s a bad direction. #iphone should stay thin, pockety, simple. it’s supposed to disappear in your hand, not unfold into something clumsy.
but #ipad… oh, that’s a different story. i want my 11″ #ipad to grow. to open up. imagine this: you use the small one on the #bus, on the go, #reading, #sketching, #scrolling. then you sit down in a #coffee place, and it unfolds – smoothly, beautifully – into a big one. 14, maybe 15 inches. a full workspace. a writing desk. a creative field.
#iphone should stay what it is: the quick, smart tool in motion.
#ipad should become what it wants to be: a #screen that expands with your space.
maybe #apple should stop trying to make the #iphone bigger
and start making the #ipad expand.
i already live somewhere between these two worlds. i have three ipads, and i love every one of them. the mini – not the latest version – is my pocket #ipad. perfect for evenings, checking #rss feeds, #reading on #instapaper, sometimes even #writing short #blog posts.
the eleven-inch pro (with m2) is my travel #ipad – i’m actually #writing this post on it right now. it’s also my #imac companion, my everything-device when i’m away. if i had to choose just one, this would probably be the one. it’s perfect.
and then there’s the air – the 13-inch one. oh my god, i love this device. i love working with it in cafes, love #writing on it at #home, listening to #podcasts in the #morning while i make #coffee – even though its speakers are worse than the pro’s.
each #ipad has its own place in my #life. i love them all.
but the minimalistic me says it’s too much.
and i know i’ll have to let one go someday. i just don’t know which one. it’s going to be hard.
so please, #apple – make that foldable #ipad next year.
don’t make me choose.

: today i had the pleasure of meeting apple’s #workout buddy. i started a #walking exercise and he (or maybe she?) spoke to me. it was really nice. it told me some stats about my past workouts, encouraged me to keep moving – and that was nice. simple, but super cool, nice job #apple. another little bonus of switching to english.
: i wish i could quit #spotify and switch to #apple #music. there are many reasons for that. but there’s one small feature that keeps me stuck with spotify – the smart shuffle. it mixes new, recommended songs into my playlists, so every few tracks i hear something fresh, something unexpected. such a small thing, but brilliant. if #apple #music ever adds this feature, i’ll switch instantly.

: i don’t really like the look of the new #iPhone Pro – especially in that orange color. but the iPhone Air? i love the design, the feel, the colors. even the smaller battery doesn’t bother me – i’d totally go for it… but it’s missing one thing. and for me, it’s a dealbreaker: the macro camera.
i use it every single day on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. mostly to take close-up photos of food labels, from just a few centimeters away. without that feature, the Air just wouldn’t work for me. and that sucks a bit. come on #apple, make it better next year.
