Episode notes
Save iPhone Photos To SD Cards
- Offload iPhone photos to an SD card in the field using Apple's Lightning to USB Camera Adapter and an SD reader.
- Attach the adapter, select photos, Share → SD card, then delete originals to free space.
Notes Supports Markdown Import/Export
- Notes in macOS 26 imports and exports Markdown but still shows rich text while editing.
- The conversion to plain Markdown happens only during import/export, not live editing in Notes.
Stagger OS Upgrades By Device Role
- Upgrade non‑critical iPhones and iPads sooner but test Macs (especially mission‑critical ones) after at least one minor update.
- Evaluate apps you rely on (audio, dev tools) before upgrading a Mac and delay until compatibility is confirmed.
