iPhone 17 Air to get a ‘barely blue’ color option, suggests leaker

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2026-02-05 09:49:33

A leaker with a mixed track record has suggested that the “main” color option for the upcoming iPhone 17 Air will be a “very light” blue. They go on to say that the color will be so faint that it will simply appear to be white in some lights. This seems reminiscent of “barely blue” colors we’ve seen from Apple before … Fixed focus digital posted on Weibo: Blue is probably the main color of iPhone 17 Air this time. It is different from all the blue colors released by Apple in the past. The blu

Bluesky can really keep up with the news now that it has activity notifications

Jack Dorsey working on Bluetooth messaging app, Bitchat

techcrunch.com Amanda Silberling 2026-02-06 06:26:26

Block CEO and Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey wrote in an X post on Sunday night that he spent his weekend creating an app called Bitchat (presumably a combination of the words “bit” and “chat,” and not the other combination of words that it looks like). Bitchat is a messaging app that operates through Bluetooth mesh networks, allowing users to send messages without Wi-Fi or cell reception. Because of Bluetooth’s technical limitations, this kind of app generally only works at a range of around 1

Besides more granular controls over which things will trigger a notification, you can now receive alerts for any activity from a chosen account. As a fledgling app, Bluesky has lacked the in-depth notification toggles you might find in something like Instagram, which has had over a decade to figure out when people want to be contacted.
