Sebastiaan de With , co-founder of the popular iPhone camera app Halide , today announced that he has joined the Human Interface Design team at Apple. "So excited to work with the very best team in the world on my favorite products," he said. This marks a return to Apple for de With, who previously worked on things such as iCloud, MobileMe, and the Find My app. He has also completed design work for other companies, such as Sony, Mozilla, Oracle, HP, and EA, in the past. de With is a well-known figure in the online Apple and photography communities. Apple's design team is undergoing many changes. Last year, the company's former software design chief Alan Dye left for Meta , and Apple's hardware engineering chief and leading CEO candidate John Ternus was reportedly tapped to oversee the company's entire hardware and software design teams towards the end of last year. Over the past several years, some Apple designers have left to work with Jony Ive, the legendary former Apple design chief. Ive left Apple in 2019 to start his own design firm LoveFrom, and he has been working with OpenAI on a new AI device . In related news, Halide's parent company Lux today launched a public preview of Halide Mark III , the next-generation version of its flagship camera app. This article, " 'Halide' Co-Founder Sebastiaan de With Joins Apple's Design Team " first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums
Tax season is fast approaching, and unfortunately for 2026, Direct File isn't an option anymore . The free, government-provided service was shut down, so you'll need to look to other federal programs, including IRS Free File , to file your paperwork. If you don't qualify for Free File , TurboTax might be your best bet for a relatively cheap, efficient way to file your taxes. While it pains us to suggest you give money to a company that has spent decades lobbying to ensure America's tax system remains a nightmare, we can at least help you save a bit of cash if you've determined TurboTax is a necessary expense for you this year. Right now, Amazon has discounted the deluxe desktop edition of TurboTax by 44 percent. That gets you $35 off software that normally costs $80, which you can use to file both your individual state and federal taxes. For most Americans, that should cover their needs. However, if you're self-employed, you'll need to pony up for the more expensive Business version of TurboTax , which is currently 42 percent off, or $54 off. One last thing to note: you'll need a PC with either Windows 11 or macOS Sonoma to run the software, so an older machine won't do, unfortunately. An alternative that's also on sale is from H&R Block. Amazon has H&R Block's Deluxe + State tax software for 50 percent off, bringing it down to only $30. It works on Windows and Mac devices and lets you import your previous year's personal tax return, even from competing software like TurboTax and Quicken.
