  • Apple's biggest innovation of the last 25 years isn't the iPhone

    Agreed on most everything except for that the innovation seemingly continued. macOS does NOT bring enough to the table each year to warrant being released each year. Apple could do with biennial releases just fine, security updates and bug fixes aside. It might even help with the quality of OS that has been on the decline over the years. Anyone who is not a self-proclaimed 'evangelist' would give an honest analysis, but I believe this piece was more opinion than fact, so it passes.


    To say that "Between 2015 and 2020 — half a decade — Microsoft contentedly sat on Windows 10. In 2011 it delivered Windows 11" seems to suggest that it was wrong of them or helplessness or anything at Microsoft to not deliver Windows 11. I'd think that every company has its own goals and plans. Comparing is futile so far as trying to make one sound better goes, with regard to development cycle. It is not that both were developing and doing the same things but somehow Microsoft sat contentedly while Apple delivered on it. It makes no sense to say this sentence except to validate and justify the 'evangelist' title.

    "That same year, Apple released macOS Monterey (12) followed by macOS Ventura (13) in 2022, macOS (14) Sonoma in 2023 and macOS (15) Sequoia last year. Nobody's worried about whether Apple will offer any new innovation for its Mac platform this year."

    And what is the extent of difference between these 4 releases to have warranted 4 whole number releases and not just point number increments?

  • iLeakage attack resurrects Spectre with password and website data extraction

    Wesley, the options are available as GUI, at least in Sonoma, and this particular option is already checked, at least in macOS Sonoma 14.1 release version build 23B74.

  • Apple confirms iOS 17 fix for overheating iPhones is on the way

    Not that "inconsistent" and "temperatures within spec" now, eh Malcolm? :wink:

    New ringtones and text alert tones added to 17.0 are gone in 17.1 beta 1.

  • Apple rolls out iOS 17.0.1, iPadOS 17.0.1, watchOS 10.0.1 updates

    I really, truly love AppleInsider for giving out build numbers in their articles, unlike MacRumors. I have had serious issues with MR mods about it, to the point that I was banned. Simply because we did not see eye to eye on what constitutes necessary info in an article of this nature. 

    Thank you AppleInsider, for giving out build numbers. This way, I can immediately know if I want to update right now.
