Apple's AI rollout leaves Siri behind & long-time fans are asking questions
Siri and improved Apple AI reminds me of AirPower. Schiller - we can do this. Schiller a year later - no we can't. I am not holding my breath for Siri. I rarely use it because it isn't very reliable, and the response is usually the same thing, let me see what I can find on the internet. I can do that myself and get a better response. Apple has had 14 years to fix Siri, and hasn't done it yet. -
Time Machine's Time Capsule support ends with macOS 27
Those time capsule routers were notorious for crashing hard drives. Not what you want for a backup. The last time capsule device was released in 2013, and killed off in 2018, with no support for 7 years. I stopped using an AirPort Extreme back in 2018 because they were terrible for two story homes. I switched to a Netgear Orbi with two satellite nodes and those are far superior. The nodes also have Ethernet ports so you can plug your device into a node for better performance, even better if a node is hardwired to the router. Current routers are also up to date on security patches, unlike the Apple routers. I still have the tiny AirPort Express stations only for AirPlay to stereos in the house. My Time Machine is a simple USB 3 external 8TB drive. Way faster than trying to back up over WiFi, like most were trying to do with a Time Capsule. -

Apple's new and sweeping user interface design is called 'Liquid Glass'
So it is Aqua, without any color, from 2000.
With iOS 7, the heavy transparency was awful because everything blended over itself and over the next few iOS updates, the transparency was significantly reduced so you could actually see what you were doing without elements from behind bleeding into everything else. I imagine the same will occur again. The screenshot above showing the Home Screen looks just like iOS 18, with a few minor tweaks to the icons. Not that much of a change. Not exactly a 'radical' design change as all the websites claimed. -
Saying Apple is in trouble before WWDC is a time-honored and always wrong tradition
Last year's AI (Apple Intelligence) was the biggest cluster***k in Apple history, far worse than MobileMe. Running false ads, advertising the iPhone 16 with Apple Intelligence when it never had Apple Intelligence until MONTHS later, and very limited. To the point where Apple pulled the false ad when they admitted they can't roll out a new Siri because it doesn't work. Pulling AI summaries because they don't work. They were not wrong last year, and Apple Intelligence is still a joke. They will roll out iOS 26 and it still won't have Siri updates and it will be 'coming soon', because your heavily quoted Gurman said Spring 2026.
So I would imagine people have come to expect false promises by Apple at WWDC and then when Fall comes, Apple admits most features are unavailable.
