😯 Oh! December already!

I could’ve sworn there were 31 days in November… But here we are on the 1st of December and I’m a day late with your newsletter! Three articles for you this month, though:

1. Apple, you’re doing the Dynamic Island wrong
2. Upgrading from iPhone 13 mini to 16 Pro
3. Avatars and alt text

From the archives

A reminder that well written form labels and hint text, coupled with helpful validation, is the best way to ensure users enter data in the correct format; the one thing not to do is to meddle with the user’s input as they type.

Elsewhere on the web

Here are some of the more interesting bits and bobs that I came across from around the web during November:

• Two different kinds of “focusable” UI elements
• Avoid Read-only Controls
• The axe-con 2025 schedule has been released
• Accessibility Challenges with Single Page Applications
• Beautiful focus outlines

Anyway, I’m off to check my to-do list for anything else I haven’t done because I thought it was the 31st of November today 🤣
