While the iPhone’s camera is technically the best it’s ever been, I don’t enjoy making photos with it. Everything feels over-processed. Like it’s trying to guess how you want the photo to look. Anyone else feel this way?

Friendly reminder: If you're building a bootstrapped business, don't fall into the trap of comparing yourself to VC-backed businesses. From the outside they can look like they're killing it, but you don't know what's really happening behind the scenes. Grow at your own pace.

Apple events were more fun back in the day when we didn't actually know what they were releasing and the presenters still felt human. Now it feels so overproduced and sterile I can't tell if it's AI or a pharmaceutical commercial.
