    But will the Quality be there for apple Products being made in India ???
    What is even driving this concern?
    Facts are. Financial Times did a report (paywall) but part of it is here:

  • If you were underwhelmed by WWDC 2025, you're not alone

    No offense, but are you a developer?  It's a developer conference where developers are introduced to new capabilities introduced in the new OSes.

    You can't judge a conference by its keynote.
    The WWDC Keynote isn't for developers. It started with a TV+ show and had fitness sessions. It also had an absurd number of "product people" showing their diversity by all being "thrilled" to stand in a virtual wasteland speaking the same marketing lingo. None of them would survive 2 minutes in a Standup with developers.

    As for the developer part... Xcode to include ChatGPT. Apple is at least 5 years behind MS and CoPilot. There simply is no Apple AI in Xcode for 2025/26. Somehow there are clients and more clients but no cloud or servers or partnership with cloud providers to tie things together. Cook is the king of iterations but the world is moving at pace.

  • Apple execs explain Apple's position in the AI race & how it isn't necessarily 'behind'

    Look, what was shown at WWDC 2024 -- whether it was faked or real -- has less relevance.
    Apple execs stating that the company is not behind - but are yet to deliver what at WWDC 2024 for the current versions. That makes it relevant to see what was promised.
    Currently Apple is behind even their own plans while stating that everything is fine.

    To give up on privacy and use OpenAI - this only happened as Apple was and is behind. To have still only 1 partner - another.

    At this point the execs should be honest about it and tell how Apple will get back with a solid plan.

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

    nubusnubus
    AppleInsider said:

    Overall, Apple's latest Liquid Glass material arguably represents consistency rather than true innovation

    Why shouldn't Apple combine innovation and consistency? Perhaps the author meant "continuity"? Shouldn't Apple be allowed to innovate on an existing platform? What would the alternative be? Stale platforms? 

    I spoke to 3 UX'ers today. They're all "this will make content shine" while being worried that Figma isn't capable of building it. A discussion about the cost of development now that iOS and Android are clearly diverging. Worried how branding will work when colors are removed. There is so much we can discuss. But stating that Apple isn't innovating? This design will bridge car entertainment, computers, watches, TV... using one coherent language. To me it is innovation.

  • iPadOS 26 fixes nearly everything wrong with the platform after everyone already left

    nubusnubus
    Why is "install what you like" blocked for devices with touch?
    Why can't Mac get OLED or cellular (it seems Mac at some point will but why not now)?
    Is iPad really ready to run a lot of windows with only 8 GB or will iPadOS 26 make most models feel slow?
    Why isn't iPad base memory 16 GB or easier to configure?
    Why can't Mac get touch for use with iPad apps?
    And why is Files called Finder on Mac?

    I'm not even sure I want to have multiple windows on iPad. It will require a larger screen making it less of a tablet.
