Just what we need, even more platforms for Crowdstrike to break…
Like the HomePod?
No. I mean a productivity device that can manage all aspects of my life effectively and efficiently. HomePod can rarely play the right song when I command it.

You mean “Do better, Mark Gurman”? 😊"all new"

Copland was an "All New Operating System" (and perhaps an example of why we don't get an All New Operating System these days), but even in this era of clickbait headlines and AI slop, you're not going to call another flavor of iOS with some new APIs an "All New Operating System". Do better, MacRumors.
It just takes a wee bit of imagination to think of so-called "use cases." Apple will likely sell loads of their smart home hubs. I'll probably purchase one, depending on features and positive reviews.
But yeah... expecting the reflexive "Who asked for this?" that's often said when Apple releases a new product category.
Maybe Apple should buy iRobot given the Amazon deal fell through.iRobot running RobotOS
Just don’t call it homeOS. When spoken, it just reminds me a lot of the “Liquid Ass” debacle.
Already there for Education & Corporate.
Shared iPad overview
Shared iPad allows more than one user to sign in to an iPad. The iPad needs to be supervised before Shared iPad can be used.support.apple.com
They purposely don't offer it so they can gouge people into buying more iPads.
I have no clue why people defend this company sometimes.
(not referring to you, I just mean in general)
I completely agree with this sentiment. Who knows what really goes on behind the scenes and how things actually get done at Apple, or don’t get done. But Apple is a very different animal to what it was in the Jobs era and it needs that kind of leadership again. Apple today feels like it doesn’t care about the little details. Those are the things that really made them different and their products a true joy to use. Today we have only remnants of that left and it seems to be fading with each new product or software version. Jobs is dead, I know, and he was unique, I know. But that doesn’t change the fact that they need someone with some of his attributes at the helm to get their mojo back.Probably an indication for the average age of users here. Note: I never said Tim shouldn't be fired 😉. In all seriousness, though, I do think Apple as a company, from a product and software point of view (I don't care about the stock) are suffering in that sense from not being led by a product guy.
Apple had built enough momentum and operations and philosophy of design by the time Steve died for Tim to take the reins, but we're in a new world now and a product guy is needed once again. Someone who wants the products to be useable IRL and wants the software to have the kind of details and thoughtfulness that only Steve and his underlings could achieve. Same goes for hardware. Tim doesn't have the awareness to understand the problem. And people like Gruber are asking Apple's software guy software questions he isn't aware of, such as not knowing the hands on watch faces have drop-shadows. This may not be a big deal to some, but it shows a lack of awareness.
iOS 7 released 11 years ago and shipped whereby anpp icons would land with a bounce on the home screen and you had to wait a bit before you could interact with the software. It was annoying. The current public beta of iOS 26 has the same problem. Steve died 13 years ago.
You want the Apple Watch to run the same OS as an Apple TV? How's that going to work?
It might end up like butterfly keyboard, touch bar and Vision Pro.
