If you were underwhelmed by WWDC 2025, you're not alone
Mountainpass said:For the first time not only am I not having to fight the urge to jump into the betas, but I am actively considering not upgrading macOS and iOS when the public release comes.iPadOS is a notable exception but there’s so many new features there that I’ll probably wait until there’s confirmation that there aren’t any showstopper bugs in the betas. -
iOS 18 saw below average adoption despite Apple Intelligence
Chock_Mossley said:And I see my comment immediately got a dislike. God forbid I say something bad about AI. Sorry, not a fan of something that has famously been trained on intellectual theft, something that is horribly environmentally damaging. I know Apple has been trying to do things differently when it comes to that, but AI is so unethical on so many levels as we’ve seen it so far.

Brazil gives Apple 90 days to enable third-party app marketplaces on iOS

Before centralized app stores owned by the OS makers was a thing, downloading an application from wherever was simply what everybody did. It is what you can still do on MacOS (and typically we don’t start calling people “idiots” for doing that).
Also, be nice. Calling everybody an idiot doesn’t make you cool. You can disagree while still being nice. You don’t have to. Nobody can force you. Do whatever you want. But… it would be nice to be nice. -
Apple customers start receiving the iPhone 16e
dope_ahmine said:Today, the board of our company group took the decision that we will leave all American operating systems and computer brands, and move to Linux. Personally, I understand this decision and stand firmly behind it.
After many, many years on this forum, and a loyal Apple customer since the mid-80’s, I therefore say … Goodbye Apple Insider. Yesterday, our love relation ended.
My next phone will not be iOS-based. If it weren’t still so performant, I’d make the switch now.
