After a long day playing my fake iPhone Duo accordion, I like to unwind with a fake grilled cheese sandwich made on my fake Duo panini press and have a cold fake beer from my fake Duo fridge. Then listen to my fake Walkman and play a little fake soccer and fake Battleship. All on a very real $2,000 phone.

🚨 Going out of business sale 🚨
iOS dev course sales plummeted due to AI. It costs a lot of money to host my courses online and with sales at basically $0, I've cancelled that hosting.
This closes down the site which unfortunately removes access to the courses.
I want you to have the courses you purchased forever, so I've added the ability to download my course videos so they are yours.
I've put my recent course on sale at a large discount so you can get it before it's gone and I've made old courses available for free if you want to grab those too.
The school will be online until November 24th so you have a few weeks to download these videos at seanallen.teachable.com
Thanks for learning with me and supporting my work over the years. I appreciate it.

Today, I got laid off from @androidcentral, along with the rest of the staff. I've enjoyed 7 absolutely amazing years there (5 of which were full time), and am beyond thankful for the opportunity to wake up and be a tech journalist every day.
If you're hiring, my DMs are open!

AI is killing All About Berlin. When you Google something, you used to get a link to my website, but now you get an AI-generated answer trained on my work. This has a devastating impact on traffic.

The MacRumors Buyer's Guide has just gotten even more useful. We've added a Q/A widget that answers based on our knowledge-base. Give it a try.

Web publishers going out of business shouldn’t feel normal.

Today is the last (official) day of @GGReconGaming (although we've all been away for two weeks)
I've wanted to put my thoughts together and have done so over on Medium, but the long and short of it is that Google is killing publishers - we weren't the first, and we won't be the last.

Some incredible sites with talented journalists are getting absolutely obliterated.
Remember when Google said we had to work on a sites EEAT? Ha…
It means nothing now.
It’s time to support those sites you love the most before they go extinct. 😥
These are the sites with the greatest % declines in Google SEO visibility between September 4, 2023 and April 22, 2024 (@Sistrix data)
Gee, notice anything totally obvious, or is it just me?
Sorry to anyone who works on any of these sites, I know a lot of you are seeing this. I just think the world needs to see this data.
This is not meant to be a reflection or knock on anyone's SEO abilities... clearly there are bigger forces at play here.

Almost 6 months since Google starting killing our website with the press of a button @retro_dodo.
5 years of hard work, crumbling away at my fingertips, nothing I am doing is helping.
We have to see signs of recovery in the next update or we won't be around for much longer. 😞

Okay here it is… My thoughts on Apple Vision Pro. This is a long video but I needed this time to truly explain the incredible experience that I had using this headset. It’s absolutely insane.

It’s surreal to attend #WWDC23 and get excited about technology and progress, and on the same day cry over the news of barbaric dam blowing up in Ukraine. Russia brought deaths and devastations but we need to stand.

My personal story (translation) for whose who wonder how I am. Russians bring grief to EVERY Ukrainian family. Those who are in the bomb shelter, those who are under attack, those who are standing in big lines at the border, whose who volunteer. www-visir-is.translate.goog/…
