Increasingly grumpy "get off my lawn you bloody lot" boomer vibes from this author. You sound like you hate TikTok, kids these days, pranks, The Daily Mail, and likely yourself. Cheer up, bruv! You're being quite the downer.

This may provide me with a clue about my MacBook Pro with M3 Pro: since updating from macOS 18.0.1 to 18.1, it may not start properly after lifting the lid. The screen may stay black or resemble two bright moons behind thick clouds (the avatar and password field?). It may take up to five restarts (finger on Power button) until a bright logo and progress bar appear, preceding the proper screen. - Note that I can connect a second screen via HDMI and see that properly. However, I haven't yet discovered how to adjust that monitor screen to show the menu bar of the computer, so I can't use the trackpad to choose Restart.

Bro, macOS 18 isn't expected until 2027. Where did you get that build? 

Not that AppleInsider or other media will be around for long with the advent of generative AI, but things that could slow down your inevitable demise are things like making sense, and trying to understand what's going on and then explaining it properly to your readers.

For instance, is it a period of inactivity, or other iPhones magically talking to each other (even in Airplane mode somehow) that supposedly triggers the reboot? 

I wish people reporting on this asked someone with the first clue about photography: phone cameras already have waaay too small apertures, and this tech can only further reduce them, not magically enlarge them: it's like installing blinds on your windows and hoping you'll get more light inside. There's either a second, more important change (that somehow enables a wider aperture that this can then in turn stop down), or else this is a purported invention that will take a problem and make it possible for the user to make it even worse. Bokeh for one would get further reduced (or rather non-existent) if you added a variable aperture to today's lenses.

Why is everything "hugely" something today? Do you mean "bigly"?
