Looking forward to the Apple event tomorrow. No predictions, but @danielpunkass and I will record a new Core Intuition right after the event. Mention “iPhone X” (or XS or XC!) in a blog post tomorrow to unlock the Micro.blog special event pin.
Steve @danielpunkass I still hope that the “iPhone XS” name projection was a simple misread of a file name where the picture contained two different sized 2018 iPhone X phones - that the image’s file name referred to plural phones in the picture and not the new updated device’s name. We’ll see soon enough!
Manton Reece @craigmcclellan It's going to be a new pin. (I wasn't sure at first, but I think it's more fun if you can collect them over a number of years.)
Aaron Parecki ahhhh I'm gonna be on a plane during the announcement! Will I be able to click on the 📱 or 🍎 emoji when I land to see what everyone is saying about it??
Manton Reece @stevesnider I hope so too. The "X pronounced 10" decision last year has kind of locked Apple in to several bad name choices.
Manton Reece @aaronpk I was thinking about that today too. There's not currently a section that collects the posts together, but there should be.
Amit Gawande New pin! Yeah. Is there a tagmoji for all the Apple event posts? Would be interesting to follow the event live. May be a general event tag (can be used for all live events)?
Chris Neale these new pin announcements could do with timezone qualifiers? When is “tomorrow” for UTC+0100?
Yorrike @cn I’m in New Zealand, where it’s the evening of the 12th, so let me test…
Yorrike @cn 0544 UTC+12:00 here. The badge didn't show up, so maybe it's California time. Still, don't think I'll get away with not mentioning it tomorrow, so it's a lock-in badge I think…
Manton Reece @kevinwhalen Your post went through before I enabled the pin this morning, but it should update soon and give you the pin.
Manton Reece @Zak It's automatic but wasn't enabled until about an hour ago. It'll pick up your earlier post and give you the pin when it next checks your blog.
