I wouldn't go as far as @Massiveattack has has gone, but I too feel a sense that Apple hasn't finished with iOS 18 and macOS 15 yet. I don't want Apple pushing out anything that's half-baked, but this past year since WWDC has felt more trickle-out t…

This is one of those things that sound okay on paper but don't look so great when you dig into the details and implementation. I am embarrassed that Apple would take some of the hard core approaches in its attempt to stifle this legislation. Maybe t…

We are witnessing exactly what would happen if we let a single 5th grader take total control of a nuclear power plant.

One thing that's always bothered me about Siri is its inability to maintain conversational context across all of your Apple devices. One reason for not allowing context chaining is because of Apple's privacy-first, per-device handling of human-devic…

I am very intrigued by the pairing of OpenAI and Jony Ive's AI startup. I've always been impressed with Jony Ive's creativity and human-centric approach to solving problems. I do not believe that he is an idealist who is unwilling to weigh the bal…

I think Apple knows exactly what they're doing here in terms of making sure the automakers and brands can personalize the CarPlay Ultra experience in very non-trivial ways, unlike the Apple Watch. This is exactly what I was hoping for. It remains to…

One thing that could potentially give CarPlay a better chance would be if Apple made it more of an open architecture and provided a way for automakers to personalize the implementation using their own UX design, data models, workflows, logic, and in…

I would be surprised if more than a tiny percentage of Apple users are taking advantage of the math features in Notes. It is a clever tool but it fills a narrow niche. I’ve used tools like MathCAD since the 1980s and they are extremely useful for so…

This looks very intriguing and it will be interesting to see how it’s implemented on lower and mid tier car brands and models. There seems to be a trend with some automakers to use proprietary systems both for differentiation and monetizing what the…

I like software defects getting fixed, especially ones with security implications. I’d be happy if Apple rolled out security updates every week whether or not they threw in a few refinements in existing apps. Some of the updates seem very narrowly f…

Touch is great for kiosks, POS terminals, HMIs, and other applications where keyboards get in the way. If touch screens are square pegs, I have no problem using them with devices that have a square hole that needs filling. I too often feel that tech…

I’m taking a wait & see approach on this. I’m probably closer to @AppleZulu on this in terms of implementation. I see no need for another screen in the house, especially with open floor plans where the primary TV/media hub is in view from the ki…

I'm very happy with Vivaldi browser and DuckDuckGo for web search. Like others, I use ChatGPT mostly and CoPilot and Gemini on occasion a lot more than any search engine these days. I have found Safari to be more compatible with some web sites, incl…

The gist of the statements from Eddy Cue are that many things we see as "permanent" today will eventually be replaced. When, where, how, and in what form factor their replacements take shape and occur is mostly speculative at this time because uncer…
