    Apple can´t afford to continue with their tiny uprades from WWDC to WWDC. 

    WWDC 2024 was a disaster after Apple has failed to deliver what Apple promised. 

    Google I/O was an "All or nothing" event with survival instinct to overcome risk of their existence. Google made a great job with I/O. 
    Open AI steps up with Jony Ive to open a new chapter. 

    After those revolutionary steps from others, people clearly expect from Apple to responde with similar steps. 


    In Apple’s defense, they e kind of perfected everything except their nascent ai. Hard to make massive shifts when you’re already doing it right. 

    How Google has stayed afloat is a mystery considering its constant throwaway projects and throw things against the wall to see if they stick approach. It makes sense they fully bore in on what stuck. Bevause they do t have much in the way of great things outside of the search engine snd the entrenched Gmail. 

    Open ai HAS to do something. Competitors are getting way better and closing in. They need a differentiator. Hiring Ive is a Hail Mary shot. The amount of money going into that move is quite insane. Will see how it turns out. So far the only guarantee is jony just got rven more filthy rich. Lol. 

    Apple is in refining mode as they figure out revolutions. 
    "kind of perfected everything" ...Apple have perfected nothing.

    There are bugs in Finder that have existed as long as I can remember. The fundamentals such as font management go unresolved whilst they focus on fluff such as animojis. Their core apps progress at a glacial pace whilst they fiddle with distractions like Stage Manager.

    I no longer look forward to WWDC announcements as I have no faith in them fixing the basics.
    I assume new UI is a sign the SwiftUI has reached a place where it can replace a lot of old systems that needed the overhaul. Getting ride of all the old bugs…

    for all new ones.

  • Tim Cook tried to kill Texas App Store age verification bill by calling the governor

    Age verification doesn’t invade anyone’s privacy. It simply ensures thst kids aren’t getting thrmselves or their parents into trouble. 

    Apple may have parental control options, but many aren’t aware and don’t want yo go hunting for such things. 

    Apple parental controls are only strengthened by age verification since it can then launch a wizard to run through. 

    Gotta look out for our people. Guardisng kids without invading everyone’s privacy sounds like a win-win. And having an apple account slready needs your info anyway. Heck rven an email address requires more info than it used to. 

    Of course it does.   It's asking for information.  Kids not ready to come out to their parents will avoid looking for answers and help because everything has to be viewed by their parents first.   Don't say things like "providing more information doesn't invade anyone's privacy"
    Add the bill of this week that bans Transgender people from public records and you have a situation where an adult is effectively barred from using the App Store by extension banking apps and other day to day services. 

    Now extend that to voting suppression based on similar legislation. 

    All in all Apple needs to leave Texas if they want to provide a safe workplace that attracts the best people

  • SiriGPT: Apple's chiefs hope to add full chatbot functionality to Siri, eventually

    Apple should be using their on device power and security model to make a me and my family trained chat bot.  It’s not about something it found on the web for me.

  • On-device Apple Intelligence training seems to be based on controversial technology

    mattinozmattinoz
    Wait so every subsystem used to get CSAM working is controversial now?
    even if it is used in a dozen other places in the system that aren’t considered controversial and adds nothing specific to the controversy?

  • Tariff-related iPhone price increases estimated to be lower than feared

    "Lower than feared" but still way too much. Our worthless president isn't done destroying our country and the rest of the world. I don't believe anything the financial people are saying because they've been wrong before, very wrong. 
    They are caught between a rock and a hard place on one hand they don’t want to highlight how much America has been ripping off the world with the dodgy tax reduction methods they use. And on the other hand they don’t want to say outright how stupid the president is by exposing how they will use all the tricks to avoid the tariffs without paying the piper.
