Apple Photos in iOS 27 gets camera roll feature it’s long needed

iOS 27 brings a much-anticipated feature to Apple's Photos app: a dedicated 'Captured by Me' collection. This long-awaited addition mirrors the 'Camera Roll' feature that was once present but is no longer available. The 'Captured by Me' collection in iOS 27 is designed to showcase only the media you've captured using your iPhone's Camera app.

It includes photos and videos taken by you, but excludes screenshots, content shared by others, and various other types of media. Additionally, a 'Captured by Me' filter is available within the main Photos library, offering users a convenient way to access this content. The introduction of 'Captured by Me' fills a significant gap in Apple Photos' feature set, providing users with a more streamlined and accurate representation of their personal media.

  • Two instances of useCounter() share same state due to JavaScript scoping rules.
  • State declared outside function is created once, shared across composable instances.
  • Confusion and unexpected behavior can arise from shared state in composables.

The Dropdown You've Been Faking for a Decade

Design wants a country picker. Nothing fancy — a dropdown, a small flag icon next to each name. You reach for <select> , type the first <option> , and hit the wall every frontend dev hits eventually…

48-Hour Field Notes: curl Looked Instant. Python Paid a Handshake on Every Call.

I spent forty-eight hours arguing with an API that was not actually slow on the wire. My Python probe kept printing extra delay, while a single curl call still looked almost instant.

  • Python script caused slow API performance due to lack of connection reuse
  • Each request opened new TCP connection and TLS session, incurring overhead
  • Implementing connection reuse resolved latency issue and highlighted client-side impact
