Welcome to #283 – a note from the editor

Welcome back to the latest issue of Swipe magazine.

Can you believe it’s more than 20 years since Apple used its iconic “Think Different” slogan? This issue, we’re daring to Think Different too.

That means a series of features focused on changes, reinventions, and alternatives to the norm. With iOS 17’s public release just days away, our Features section examines how the latest software changes mean we might be shot of another Apple slogan – “there’s an app for that.” We’re also digging into Apple’s reinvention of the call screen, with a huge visual change to a core feature that’s existed since iOS 1.

Head to the Reviews section and you’ll find a roundup of “Better Streaks Apps.” This is an area that Apple covers with its Workout and Activity Streaks, but look beyond the defaults and there are plenty of alternatives that offer a less rigid and more supportive approach to habit and fitness tracking.

With Apple’s “Wonderlust” iPhone 15 event coming in under two weeks, we’ll have plenty more to discuss in our next issue. See you then!
