You know, if a third-party tech journalism site needs to explain why a first-party ad is legit, well, that's a COMPLETE fail for Apple.

I don't see why anyone is should be surprised by this. There was zero growth for the FireWire interface over many years while USB exploded. Apple discontinued all Macs that featured FireWire interfaces years ago and wholeheartedly embraced USB and …

Apple has explicitly labeled Apple Intelligence as "Beta" for a reason, probably several. People, this service isn't ready for primetime. Hell, Apple can't run any of its iCloud services with 100% uptime. That's simply unrealistic. All of these ser…

Appleish said: Darn. Was hoping for a surprise release this fall. Who knows if humans will even exist next year? Since Apple put references into the first developer beta of iOS 26, it's more likely that it will come out some time this year…

LLMs are a dead end with clear limitations that won't bring Apple or anyone else to that contextual awareness + common sense that people see in commercials or dream about. Apple can forget about releasing an "improved" [sic] Siri if it is only as g…

Sbutler is correct. Even Steve himself thought of Apple as primarily a software company. Apple has always followed Alan Kay's mantra "People who are serious about software should make their own hardware." Apple is a software-first company whose so…

As others have said, most of this functionality has been available for years. My guess is that a native macOS Phone app will make it easier for Apple Intelligence to use all of this data, much more so than a browser-based interface. There are privac…

Look, what was shown at WWDC 2024 -- whether it was faked or real -- has less relevance. I'm pretty sure that if fed the right inquiry/parameters, Apple Intelligence would have behaved similarly to what was shown then. What we don't know is A.) if …

debonbon said: I will resist updating till I’m forced if the released version looks like this. Horrible choice. Apple never points a gun at your head and says you need to update software. NEVER. You are free to run the original software …

It's clear that Apple senior management has come to the forlorn conclusion that the more ambitious use cases for Apple Intelligence aren't reliable enough for everyday use by Joe Consumer yet. They vaguely mentioned it "coming in 2026" but that coul…

cajunreb said: So, within a year, Apple didn't promise AI-new Siri, decided to overhaul its UI, and have it ready for WWDC 25 to distract from the overpromising of AI-New Siri stuff. I mean, do you think they came up with the idea for this UI…

The Mercury News (San Jose, CA) has posted a obituary for Bill Atkinson: https://www.mercurynews.com/2025/06/10/bill-atkinson-apple-pioneer-dies/ that contains some interesting insights and reflections on his life from those who worked with him.

There's a good chance they are just filing the trademark, possibly to use in the future but not necessarily this year. Apple really needs to get Apple Intelligence and Siri right before they can tackle home control systems. Let's remember that home…
