Why the DOJ Claims Apple Is a Monopoly 
This week, Federico and John explain what’s going on with the US Department of Justice’s lawsuit against Apple that claims the iPhone-maker is monopolizing the smartphone market.
WallSetter, A Simple Shortcut to Assign Wallpapers from Files and Finder Earlier this week, I created a simple shortcut to fix something that has been annoying me for a while: I have a collection of wallpapers organized in folders in iCloud Drive, and I wanted an easy way to assign a new system wallpaper directly from my file manager instead of going through Settings. That’s exactly...

My custom Vision Pro setup. This is the stand I’m using.
Vision Pro Chronicles is a MacStories series about our journeys with the Vision Pro. In this series, we’ll explore the potential of visionOS as a brand new platform in our workflows and personal lives, share how we’re using the Vision Pro on a daily basis, and cover interesting apps and accessories for the device.
You’ll be shocked to learn that I’m not using the Vision Pro in any of the default Apple configurations.
After two months spent testing a variety of different options for bands, straps, and other “mounting” solutions, I’ve found my ideal setup. It looks somewhat ridiculous at a glance, and it’s not for everyone, but it allows me to use the Vision Pro for longer sessions.
Most importantly, it helps me enjoy the Vision Pro more.
I’ve lost track of how many MacStories readers have sent me this over the past few days (thank you; you know me well), and, unsurprisingly, the latest project by Scott Yu-Jan is extremely my kind of thing. Scott 3D-printed a Macintosh-like shell to host a Mac Studio with an iPad mini used as its display thanks to wired Sidecar. It’s magnificent:
Obviously, as someone who relies on Sidecar on a daily basis now, I find this project a masterpiece in creativity and taking advantage of Apple’s ecosystem. I would pay serious money to have a version of this for my Mac mini and 11” iPad Pro.
Shortcuts Wishlist (2024 Edition)
Tweaking the Position of Control Center for visionOS I’m ramping up the amount of work I can perform on the Vision Pro on a daily basis, but lately, something kept annoying me whenever I was wearing the headset: I was getting a lot of accidental Control Center activations just by looking at the upper section of app windows. After some helpful Googling earlier...
Frames API Builder, A Shortcut to Get Started with the Apple Frames API Earlier this week, I released Apple Frames 3.2 on MacStories. In case you missed it, it’s a substantial update that comes with new frames for the iPhone 15 Pro line plus enhancements for the Frames API, such as spacing controls and Files/Finder support. In the article, I wrote that I was going to share about...
Today, I’m releasing version 3.2 of Apple Frames, my shortcut to put screenshots taken on Apple devices into physical device templates. If you want to skip ahead, you can download Apple Frames 3.2 at the end of this story or find it in the MacStories Shortcuts Archive.
Version 3.2 is a major update that introduces brand new frames for the iPhone 15 Pro line, improves the reliability of framing screenshots from devices with the Dynamic Island, and, perhaps most importantly, extends the Frames API with new configuration options to give you even more control over framed images.
Let’s dive in.
