Wonder how this behaves with Handoff? I don't keep sensitive passwords on my phone and thus sometimes use Handoff Copy from my Mac password manager to get a password over to the iPhone. Is Clipboard History going to hang on to these passwords until they are pushed out of the buffer? I would imagine there will be a keyboard shortcut to clear the buffer. Also, the option of turning this feature off might be nice.

At the risk of thread jack, there are a *lot* of UI and OS features i'd really like to turn off, perhaps selectively (AI I'm looking at you...) I find that I see these announcements for updates and upgrades, and think "oh, that's kinda cool" and then when I actually try it, it really isn't. I admit, maybe I'm not using my Apple devices like the machines the developers think. I just want simple, intuitive, and predictable. For example, this clipboard thingy has been 30 years in the making. When it arrives in September, my guess is I will look at it, and it won't be like what i've been using for...30 years. I'd like to turn it off. Will I be able to and just stick with the nice 3rd party one? YMMV.

And oh, I've never been able to actually use Spotlight. Yes, I guess I'm a dumbass, but it doesn't work for me and my needs at all. YMMV. Go to the finder, get a new window, do a search in a search bar. Found. Done. Bet that's been around for 30 years too.

How about a big button on the UI that erases all those search histories, clipboards, caches, cookies, hidden stuff. Put *that* in the UI, Apple.

Thanks. Count me in the 73%. I would however, like an option to be compensated by Apple for their use of my device to train their systems.

Sorta been waiting on this. No way to tell at a glance what is the "latest" version of macOS and iOS and PadOS and tvOS (and I guess vision OS). What does Apple plan to do with point updates (say macOS26.5) that doesn't ship to 2027. Is that...now macOS27? 

And maybe let's skip the crack marketing team's recommendation for CA place names. Tell me which came first: Monterey or Mojave? Had to look it up, didn't you?

I may end up driving to Canada from Wisconsin to buy my next iPhone. No way am I going to pay the Trump Tax.

And commit a felony in doing so. Nice. 

For those contemplating doing this, the issue is that US customs specifically requires purchases made outside the US to be declared on entry, as doing so in acting as an importer of goods. Lying, or failing to do is a crime. About now many are laughing at how they will find out..."I will pay by cash." Sure. Many will in fact get away with it. Still others will say "even if I get caught, I will need only pay the tariff and fine." Also likely true. However, it *is* a crime, and the US is now deporting people without due process. How will they find you? It's a transmitter, has a unique number that can be used to see where Apple sold it (Apple has records of which serial numbers went to where, and these can be obtained by the USCS.) People doing this take a big, big chance with draconian consequences if it goes wrong.

And....maybe not announce you are doing it on social media.
