  • Files iPadOS 26 vs iPadOS 18: Refinements & speed improvements make Files actually usable

    I’m very concerned about readability. Just look at these screenshots. Everything is white, bright white, without any clear separation through the use of background colors. So far I find Liquid Glass an inconsistent mess, in comparison to what I considered a very refined UX/UI. They butchered it.
    I'm currently not loving it. I'm running macOS 26 and iOS 26. So far it all seems stable and there are some new additions I like (like the dedicated Phone app), but I can't say I like the UI. In macOS toggle buttons look like they're not toggle-able (is that a word?) when they are, and CarPlay, when you're in an app, has clear side-row icons that are near invisible because automobile displays aren't as modern as smartphone displays and I lost a row of icons on the CarPlay Home Screens in one vehicle when there was already ample spacing.

    None of this is a dealbreakers, but it's not a step forward, IMO.

    You can't see the size of a folder in Gb/Mb! Just as annoying as windows 🙈
    I'm with you. With FInder's indexing, the maturity of the OS, and speed of the HW we should have a good idea of all folder sizes immediately.

    The point is, that some on this forum have been attacking the president for @lying” about the phone, when in fact, up to this point? He’s said nothing. That is a false claim.

    “Trump Mobile is also excited to announce it will release the “T1 Phone” in August. It is a sleek, gold smartphone engineered for performance and proudly designed and built in the United States”

    That is a lie. It’s on Trump.com — which, I must assume, is the current president’s commercial website. 
    You said president Trump made that quote. He did not. Period. 

    That is the website of the trump organization which was handed off to his kids years ago. 

    Ah, I wasn’t aware. Yep, he still owns it, but his kids are running it since 2017. Okay. Fair point. 
    Notably this is not a blind trust. The president is free to ask questions and give direction as his sons “run” the company that he still owns and profits from. 
    I can't even fathom how deep someone has to be into the MAGA cult to claim that the convicted felon has no knowledge of the very organization that he's running. I feel bad for the American people in general for being raped (literally in some cases) by this convict, but I don't feel bad for the enablers that both support him on the top end or the idiots on the bottom end, which are the oddly the loudest voices that prop him him as some sort of deity.

    That's like a mob boss claiming he didn't murder anyone even though his goons were caught redhanded. The notion that Trump is licensing his name to a sham product but claiming he knows nothing about it either means he's lying or he's even more incompetent than he already presents himself.

    Amazing to think that Carter sold his peanut farm because it was assumed that the responsibility of running the then-most-powerful nation on Earth allowed for no distractions. 
    Of any conflict of interest where he could possibly get people to pay higher than normal prices for his peanuts to win favor from the US gov't at the highest levels.

    As a grifter Trump saw that this was all done by ethical people following the rules and there were no guards in place so long as you can scam enough of the populace to back you on stealing from the very nation you were sworn to protect.
