Every week, I organize 400 to 700 links into roughly 60 categories as part of my ongoing effort to learn about AI. This is my personal notebook, which I enjoy sharing with friends… a hobby and a labor of love, rather than a commercial publication or product.
If you arrived here through a search or shared link, this page collects the links I found for Mobile for the week ending August 28, 2026.
As part of my learning process, I like to automate the category covers. It gives me a chance to learn Python and APIs.
This week’s cover prompt was written using Claude Opus 4.7, and the image was generated using Nano Banana 2.1.
Category Cover Image Prompt: A mid-1980s murder-mystery comedy movie poster in dense pen-and-ink engraving on pure black, 16:9, showing a wide three-story Victorian mansion with turrets at each end, strictly black-and-white crosshatched linework, with six to eight arched windows glowing warm amber like phone screens: costumed suspects in theatrical evening wear posing with an oversized smartphone, dangling earbuds, and a glowing low-battery icon, other windows crowded with evidence of cracked screens, SIM cards, coiled charging cables, and one window showing a shadowy hand catching a falling phone, center double doors open with the same slim silver-haired butler in black tailcoat holding a silver tray with an envelope sealed by a tiny smartphone wax symbol. Above the roofline, fat rounded extra-heavy white sans-serif title letters spell 'Mobile' tightly spaced like a movie title, campy spooky theatrical lighting, no other text or logos.
This Week in Mobile News
Summary by Claude Sonnet 5.5 based on this week’s links:
Artificial Analysis announced independent testing of small AI models on phones, measuring both how capable they are at typical on-device tasks and how they perform on popular handsets. The launch was framed around which model to run on the iPhone 17 Pro.
Separately, Pierce Boggan said the GitHub Copilot app can now build and test iOS and Android apps directly.
This summary was generated by Claude Sonnet 5.5 to help you explore the links below. Rest assured, I select, organize, and check the links by hand in Google Sheets, and write the introduction and personal commentary in The Main Newsletters myself each week as a labor of love.
