Apple shareholders sue over Siri delays and massive losses
nubus said:M68000 said:The debacle of Apple advertising “Apple Intelligence” before it was ready may be the beginning of the end of the Tim Cook era.
As for his legacy we need to split CEO from COO. He was outstanding as COO.Which Tim Cook has nothing to do with and has no control of. -

Craig Federighi says macOS would ruin what makes the iPad special
So many posts yet most are missing the elephant in the room. Namely "software" and in particular, design of said software.If having full desktop "productivity" apps was the way to go, then the "Surface" would've dominated the market. But what really happened with it?People ended up using it as a full Windows laptop. In other words, tablet specific apps for the Surface, fell by the wayside. Two main reasons for that.01) Developers don't want to spend extra cash designing multiple sets of apps. Most popular ones have a phone and a desktop app. Now if the desktop app can run on the tablet unimpeded, why spend the extra time and money to design a 3rd interface?02) Users will always default to what they already know, path of least resistance. So if you offer an already busy user, the same software but a different design, one for tablet and one for desktop, then most likely the user will opt for the desktop design they already know.Surface didn't catch on like wildfire and blow the iPad out of the water because of those reasons.Users who opt for iPad, love it because of its simplicity, intuitiveness and because Apple stuck with that original vision. -
How the new iPadOS 26 UI moving closer to Mac is a giant productivity boost
Here are my “on a napkin” calculations.An iPad Pro 13” = $1299Smart keyboard w/trackpad = $319Total: $1618
OTOH MacBook Air = $999MacBook Air 15” (you know productivity) = $1199Does anyone really think that folks arguing for “productivity” and “real work” are going to start buying iPads by the truckload because of this? -
