Behind the scenes, Siri's failed iOS 18 upgrade was a decade-long managerial car crash
“My pet hypothesis is that Siri was Scott Forstall’s baby. He pushed for the acquisition of SRI or Siri and lead the integration of it into iOS. After Forstall was fired, nobody wanted it and Apple only did the minimum to keep it going as a feature in their products. There wasn’t anyone in leadership to push it forward.”
I recall Forstall as being a proponent, as well. However, a year after Apple announced Siri, I attended a talk by the Entrepreneur in Residence at SRI for the project. He related that Steve Jobs called him personally to express interest in Apple acquiring the technology and doing a deal.

Apple may be trying to jump-start lackluster Apple Vision Pro sales
I don’t think the Vision Pro Fit app is new. The developer history in the App Store has version 1.0 as 1 year ago. The latest version was two months ago. In my App Store history, I installed it July 22, 2024.

Apple adds a new security section to its enterprise site
If that United quote seems strange to be coming from the Chief Customer Officer, it is because up until a year ago Linda Jojo was the Chief Digital Officer and Executive VP of Digital Technology (I.T.). As a Sr. Mobility Engineer and macOS lead, I reported up the chain to her.

Apple Cloud exec hits the road to lead GM's software department
Interesting that this hire is occurring after GM recently announced dropping CarPlay going forward. GM will create its own infotainment system. I could see him contributing to the infrastructure for a highly mobile, global system.Mike Abbott was given an unusual amount of public awareness at a pre-recorded WWDC interview with the CEO of Box a couple years back. Mike was on-screen (split-screen) for 15+ minutes.
