Great book on the experience of working in a central development role in the heyday of the 2nd golden age of Apple. Fascinating for that, but also perhaps the best evocation of the experience of software engineering I've read. Highly recommended!

An excellent and thorough examination of what the process of designing a product would be like if you happened to work at Apple when the iPhone, and the iPad were designed.

Decent book by an Apple software engineer responsible largely for iOS keyboards. Some great insights into how the Apple design-review process works, but ultimately it comes down to "build demos, discuss those" vs. abstract/theoretical discussions.

Amusing prose* details the development of Safari on the Mac and auto correct on iPhone. I learned that AutoCorrect has extensive coding to try to guess what it is I wanted to press on which key. This means that the more carefully I type the more likely it is that I am wasting time.

*initially autocorrect rendered those words as "I’m using pros"
