  • Apple shareholders sue over Siri delays and massive losses


    What about the millions of dollars they've already made from AAPL?
    What about the millions they will make in the future when Apple rises to the top of the AI market? It will happen.

    Why bite the hand that feeds you? Selfish creatures.

  • TikTok ban enforcement delayed another 90 days to September 17


    What a farce. He doesn't want to upset his loyal followers by banning TikTok. It has nothing to do with anything else but that.... how well he's "liked".

  • It wasn't just you, Apple Intelligence was down

    There's a chance this is isolated to devices running the latest developer betas for the 26 series of updates. We have not received any reports of it occurring on non-beta devices as of this publication.


    What?!? You post a headline and article about an outage only affecting a "developer beta", and tuck this detail near the bottom?

    Yikes. Betas are _expected_ to have problems.

  • iOS 26 vs iOS 18: Is Apple's 'Liquid Glass' a true redesign?

    I only have one question: why? Why would you want your apps to be transparant? To see what’s behind them? Why would you want your screens to refract light? That’s what you want to diminish. What a waist of time and money for absolutely nothing, for something that a lot of users wil turn off, I’m sure. 
    We're progressively moving from a 2-D world to a 3-D world, on all devices, not just VR/XR devices.

    Liquid Glass brings true "virtual" depth to the entire interface, down to the smallest element.

    Its a big step forward that many can't yet comprehend and appreciate, but a year from now, you won't want to go back.

    The company called Liquid Glass its "broadest design update ever," but the claim is a bit of an exaggeration.


    By "broadest", they are referring to across all operating systems, so that makes it true.

    Liquid Glass is not just a visual redesign, but an architectural one, so does qualify as major.

    Interface elements dynamically handling light is not just a paint job. They are actual "objects" that light is passing through, in a virtual sense.

    Exciting times!
