More personalized Siri... Easy to utter, extremely hard to conceive and implement. The biggest drawback of current LLMs is their lack of "context retention". Ask any of the most powerful LLMs they will list that among their limitations. Even in a si…

iOSDevSWE said: The article lacks fact checking and details like when were the tests conducted either OpenAIs models and which model was used. When I perform the request I get the following answer from chatGPT 4o: Question: ” Oliver picks 44…

The most important measure is omitted in the article: Disable "Open safe flies after downloading" option in Safari. There is no "safe file" on the Internet. This is Apple's fault to maintain this expression and to keep that option enabled, even rest…

The "lock in" argument holds no water because Apple doesn't prohibit the migration of user data to other platforms. Samsung has a "Smart Switch" app that allows to connect an iPhone to a Samsung phone and that replicates the exact home screen layout…

Well, not the end of the world. Apple has already a working macOS app model in place. (x) Allow only apps from AppStore (_) Allow apps from third party app stores. And that's it. No legislator can interfere with the user's choice of privacy and sy…

Well, I don't think anybody would purchase an iPhone because of iMessage. Meanwhile Apple should maintain and develop it to preserve a competitive and well functioning service. Should Apple port it to Android? Absolutely not. No one cares, or only t…

.ps and .eps formats are no longer significant since service bureaus prefer PDF since almost two decades. Legacy graphic libraries and clip-art may be well converted with other utilities and applications. Not the end of the world. Meanwhile Preview …

A Touch UI based macOS is not a dream, but a possibility. So Apple’a port of macOS to the iPad would be a great and respectable endeavor that every Mac enthousiast would embrace. I can well imagine a Finder lying behind this on-screen keyboard, show…
