Tech Friday: A “desultory” lunchtime post highlighting Annotable

Posted By on August 1, 2025

It has been too long between truly “desultory” posts, so I’ll add one on the topic of iOS photo editing and iOS apps.

Ever since I updated my iPhone from the long-lasting iPhone 7 Plus almost a year ago, I’ve been missing the magnifier highlighting tool that was part of Apple’s previous iOS. Now that I’m up-to-date and using the iPhone 16 Pro Max, the extra tool that I occasionally used is missing. Hopefully Apple will decide to include it in future releases and although it has been missed, I’ve been reluctant to shell out the money for a questionable app called Annotable.

First, it wants access to my full photo archive (don’t like that) and second if I want to use the magnifier tool, it requires a purchase. So for now, it will be no magnifier highlighting for me.

As for the desultory question: “Would you eat this black dot on your salami?”
