It’s been a full month of Apple World Today’s existence. Hooray! Steve, Kelly and I are fully into the swing of things, and that wouldn’t be possible without our readers, our sponsors and especially our Patreon supporters. We’re so very appreciative of our patrons. You are the folks who’ve decided to give us some of the money you work hard to earn so that we can do what we love to do. You people are fantastic, seriously.
As promised, we’re publishing a big, public thank-you to everyone who pledged at the one-dollar level. Our gratitude to:

With your help, here’s what we were able to accomplish in our first four weeks:
- Publish 169 posts
- Produce 13 videos
- Write 20 reviews
- Launch the Apple World Today News Update podcast
- Provide a weekly, behind-the-scenes look at our process and decisions
Thanks again. We have plans for so much more. Those who’ve earned other rewards can check our Patreon page for a message from all of us. You’re awesome.
Apple world today is already one of my go to Apple sites but it has a tendency to crash in Safari on my iPhone 6 Plus is there something I should change or is anyone else having this issue? I love the site and the nice clean look
Hi, Marty —
We are aware of the problem, which only appears to happen on the iPhone 6 Plus in portrait orientation. I know – I have a 6 Plus and it crashes while scrolling on our home page. At this time there are two workarounds: turn the 6 Plus into landscape orientation or use the Google Chrome browser.
We do not have an estimated fix date for the issue, but will let all of our readers know when it has been resolved. Our apologies!
Steve
Steve, thanks much for your rapid response. I did try in chrome before I posted and saw it worked fine. I don’t mind the issue as long as I know that it’s not something I’m doing wrong. Keep up the good work and I know you’ll have it resolved soon. Thanks for a great Apple resource site
It has been a great first month for AWT. I like being able to directly support my favourite sites through Patreon and I am glad you’ve gone that route. I hope that your patronage will continue to grow, not just for more direct funding but also to show advertisers that this site has dedicated and enthusiastic readers.
Wait, why is it still using my old Twitter name? I’ve changed my Twitter handle and I revoked access for SquareSpace or whatever it is – I expected it would need to re-confirm access and start using my proper Twitter handle. Does anyone know how to access the comments profile so I can fix this?
It appears as though there are no user-configurable options for this comment system.
And it has still not updated my name correctly. This is actually a privacy issue. I’ve changed my handle, revoked access, and logged out … the comments system should NOT be storing and then using my old handle (my name) when I re-authorise it. This name is no longer attached to my Twitter profile at all. I really need it to update and use my current handle.
