  • Apple is lying about Apple Intelligence, John Gruber says -- and he's right

    DAalsethDAalseth
    He’s not wrong. This has been a fiasco.
    And most important, who made the call which side to listen to? Presumably, that person was Tim Cook."
    Tim Cook was the steady hand that kept Apple going when Steve Jobs left. He did good work, but that is in the past. What have we had in recent years? The CarPlay fumble. The AppleCar fiasco. The Siri fiasco which is a part of Apple Intelligence being mostly a half baked “us too’ project and not something well thought out. AppleVision becoming this decades Lisa. Software shipped with obvious bugs. On and on and on. 

    It is time for Tim Cook to step aside. He made Apple into the most profitable company in the world, but it’s become clear that he isn’t able to lead it anymore. There are little fiefdoms, and pet projects, and a loss of focus on what is most important. That takes a firm hand from the top, and Cook isn’t providing that anymore. I’m of the same cohort as Cook and I know how hard it is to step back and let younger people take the reins. But it is time. For the good of Apple it is time for Cook to leave the stage

    Interestingly, it did not turn it back on for me, on either iOS or MacOS -- both still off.
    It did for me on my iPad and Mac. There’s a thread over on MacRumours that’s showing it’s a bit hit and miss. I probably should have said ‘may turn it back on’.

    Quelle horreur!
    More of a PITA.

  • Rumored iOS 19 & macOS 16 design changes will be polarizing, as always

    Honestly I’m looking forward to this. So many of the icons in the dock, on the Mac or on iOS devices are just blue squares with a thing in the middle. AppStore, Weather, Keynote, Designer, Support, and more. The same is true with other colours. It will be nice to get a bit more variety, make them more distinctive. A little bit of skeuomorphism is not a bad thing.
