I don’t think it updates over satellite.
I don’t think it updates over satellite.
Give it time, we’re not there yet..
We’re here now with iOS26 and …this thing is next level, let me tell you. Wow. The keyboard somehow pops more and is more “robust” for lack of a better term. First word that came to mind but it’s accurate, if not elegant…
Keyboard is more concrete, more real, more substantial…but unfortunately it is not consistent…on Pages it doesn’t have the same pop/color scheme : (
I’ll mention it to Apple.
But typing texts and in safari and notes oh, yeah…
But be fore l proceed lets back up a little. Who i quoted was quoting someone else who seemed to be mocking how long it takes to update stuff when there’s ppl who could’ve passed away because the safety features Apple touts would not be available. Alright first off I’m not even gonna touch that. Thats just too beneath me…what I will say is that it took me an hour and half for the process to begin searching for an update and turn back on. 14 gigs I was like, actually sticker shocked lol
16 PM
It is what it is. This is a huge update and needs plenty of time especially day one /probably week one time frame…just Update when you’re around ppl or family if you’re an at risk individual or just don’t update at all…
And to all the people who say oh slow down and battery drain blah blah blah. Please stop spreading false news…there’s massive indexing going on and all this stuff so give it a week at most. Then please updates us and let us know how it’s going for you! Also inform Apple. The more data they voluntarily receive the better!!!…I truly mean that. Oh Apple. So truly wonderful…
Ppl not turning on Apple Intelligence?…I think you’re going to stunt your experience…it may not be the end all be all of software (?) assistants but at least it is safe and secure within the glorious walled in Apple garden.
This isn’t just a reskinning…this is a glimpse of the future…right along with?….you guessed it macrumors, our beloved Apple Vision Pro headsets!!!!
You know in like maybe 45 years or so I see the vision headset and the phone being one device somehow and it may not necessarily be like screens or even holograms but some sort of tech we hadn’t thought of yet…maybe it’s water (LIQUID!) somehow in an ingenious way that hasn’t been considered yet…definitely within 100 years these “bricks” we use now will be like dinosaur bones or something…and this iOS is the first direct step in this integration and blending of the two…Apple doesn’t think 10 steps ahead. They’re thinking 10,000 steps ahead. Almost as far as well…yeah…so anyways! A few kinks here and there (like the inconsistency of the keyboard or losing the Siri halo and no longer directly using ChatGPT with Siri it seems so now will have to keep chat app open more) but all in all
I’m truly amazed. Tis a simply amazing piece of work. Kudos and compliments to the chefs!!! Bravo!
Much of it is simplified but not in a condescending or babying way but with simple overlays and texts that define and state the problem and come off as very polite and welcoming (I wonder how that horrible feeling I haven’t felt of seeing the storage full symbol in a while would change….)
I love how reducing transparency doesn’t completely kill glass effect. At first I really disliked the lines around stuff in control center but think of it this way!…if you’re consuming media or creating content using a glass screen or projector it’s been reported I think to be best having (if even a small) light on in the background to keep the boundaries of the TV defined and that there IS the world as we know it to interact with and move with. It’s like how in Apple vision you can see your surroundings but also a screen…and you can turn on ppl seeing your eyes on that screen…these are definite boundaries that Apple is very aware of and implementing. Wow, this is one of my favorite companies to contemplate. So much exciting ideas, all begun with some dudes in a garage out in Cali…like Dr. Naismith in Springfield, Massachusetts or Bob Marley out in Nine Mile, Jamaica…simply being the revolutionaries and visionaries and the tried and true authorities (see what I did there? Authors) of their craft!!!
And again ppl turning off Apple Intelligence may be missing out on spatial photo viewing ( not sure if that’s exclusive to spatial capturing phones 15pro (?) and up)?
That spatial stuff is truly incredible…and none of this cloud mess it’s all on device so long as the photo is editable I believe (downloaded or cell data or WiFi on)….so yeah this is just. Truly Christmas came early. It’s a whole new phone. Surprised Apple allows new iOS to be accessed BEFORE phone release date as ppl may change minds of even upgrading…but spatial photos (as I’ve been saying forever on here) is where it’s at and now you don’t need a Vision Pro @ 3 stacks or wait for Vision SE to release to enjoy spatial viewing…
GAME.
CHANGING.
GAME.
OVA.
Well, actually, it’s been over since it began! Hah srs
Apple is so incredible. Wow. Today goes right beneath my favorite iOS update, the one where they introduced Night Shift in iOS 9.3 back in March 21, 2016!!! Was that an adventurous day wow…
So much more to say! Music…the DJ effect they added isn’t just a fade. I notice one track went into the next but it wasn’t just a mere fade that was an option in music settings for a while…no, the song started into it AFTER the bare drum solo when the infectious beat part was slamming and the singing about to happen…So fantastic. Away from Google and all this other stuff. Apple is so tough this is great…so much to say so many first impressions…
A so far
9/10. Will add more
Impressions at some point maybe.
