Posted on Tuesday, March 17, 2026 by Dave Nason

Posted on Thursday, February 5, 2026 by Alicia Krage

I upgraded to the iPhone 17 in December. Coming from the iPhone 15, I definitely noticed immediate improvements, and can already declare, one month in, that this is the best upgrade I’ve received so far. Apple really outdid themselves with this one.

The very first thing I noticed about the iPhone 17 was the sound quality. It’s something I had heard so much about and was very much looking forward to. Both with playing media and just the general sound of VoiceOver, there seems to be…

Announcing AnonyMouse's App Pick of the Month for January 2026: Theseus & the Minotaur

Posted on Friday, January 30, 2026 by AnonyMouse

Welcome to the January 2026 installment of AnonyMouse’s App Pick of the Month. This month, my pick is Theseus & the Minotaur, a strategy-based puzzle game that delivers a thoughtful and challenging experience on iOS.
