Launched Relaunched Luncheon was a success!

Glad everybody visiting got to experience the best culinary experience New York City has to offer

Made it through the storm to NYC so we’re making this a thing!

We’re going to be at the Times Square McDonalds (yeah yeah, blame @joshdholtz.com ) at 12:00pm for the official Launched Relaunched Luncheon 😅

Let’s hang out and try to catch a glimpse at the Shipaton billboards 👀

So... Peter made this joke in Slack so now I'm honor bound to make this a real thing.

Any fellow indies gonna be in NYC on Monday and want to meet up for lunch somewhere? 😅

Still wild to me that we’re at the point where I can’t wait to leave the terminal and get on the plane so I have high speed WiFi to work with now with United’s Starlink

Charlie Chapman @charliemchapman.com · 3d

Officially on my way to NYC for App Growth Annual! ✈️

Now just hoping we can land in this storm 🤞😅

For, uh, no apparent reason. I got the great @matthewskiles.com to refresh the Launched artwork. Whatdya think? 🔍

Wow, Swift Bharat was incredible. Still processing but genuinely one of the greatest iOS conference experiences I’ve ever had. @mufasayc.com and team crushed it. And the Swift community in India is loaded with inspiring, passionate, and kind people.

I have to go back next year 😁

Swift Bharat is off to a start! The vibes are soooo good 😁

Charlie Chapman @charliemchapman.com · 21d

Tuk tuk at night in Bangalore traffic is quite the experience 😅

Charlie Chapman @charliemchapman.com · 22d

Also, generally big thumbs up to Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport. Not only is it unique and beautiful architecturally, but the food selection even when I landed at 3am was surprisingly good, haha

Charlie Chapman @charliemchapman.com · 22d

My word, South Indian food makes a good first impression. This benne masala dosa was excellent

Pretty cool to see the Burj Khalifa, even if it’s just barely through a hazy Dubai sunset from a plane window 😅

Charlie Chapman @charliemchapman.com · 22d

Best slice in town

Charlie Chapman @charliemchapman.com · 22d

Short layover in Dubai, but luckily I found this cute local place where I can try some authentic Dubai cuisine

Charlie Chapman @charliemchapman.com · 23d

Heck yeah. Landed poor man’s first class again on this 14hr flight to Dubai 🙌. Should get some good sleep

Hello New York 👋

Charlie Chapman @charliemchapman.com · 23d

Whoa 😳 – first flight with United’s free Starlink WiFi onboard. This is pretty wild

Charlie Chapman @charliemchapman.com · 24d

I'm coming to Bangalore, India this week for Swift Bharat! 🇮🇳

It'll be my first time ever in India – what food must I try, and what places should I see?!

(unfortunately my time is brief so probably won't be able to leave the city at all)

The swap between lenses while zooming has gotten soooo smooth. Still some small warping at the seam, but it’s pretty remarkable

The 8x on the new iPhones is pretty sweet

This is almost exactly my impressions so far (except haven’t really used ANC yet)

Transparency is super weird, especially with my own voice? Its very shrill compared to real life and the AirPod Pros 2

Quinn Nelson @snazzylabs.com · 27d

AirPods Pro 3 impressions:

• ANC is significantly better than APP2.
• Fit is more comfortable.
• Transparency mode is weirdly sibilant and scratchy compared to APP2. Like, I can hear "more," but not as realistically. Not a fan.
• Not a fan of the sound signature. Too bassy.
