Welcome to #317: A note from the editor

  • by

Merry Christmas everyone! As we hit the eye of the festive holidays and the tail end of the year, we’ve felt inclined to look back over these past 12 months. Let’s get retrospective!

That means our Features section this time is full of all the best bits from the past year. We’ve picked ten apps and games that wowed us in 2024 for our end-of-year awards, and we’ve also picked out some of the best moments from Apple in a year that had its ups and downs for the company.

Of course, that’s not all. We’re also revisiting our Christmas Day roundup that brings together all the apps you ought to have installed on your iPhone to help the big day run smoothly. And we’re also exploring the new generative imagery smarts recently added with iOS 18.2 – check out the how-to section for the lowdown on Image Playground and Genmoji.

All that and more in this issue. Happy reading and we’ll see you in 2025!
