This is actually more true than people realize. Exactly how it used to be many years ago at this point… very, very exciting!
Emojis are developed by the governing body/bodies responsible for Unicode, not by Apple. All Apple does is create the glyphs used for Emojis on Apple devices. This is an example of Apple keeping up with the times, not wasting time.
Yes. Too much attention to liquid ass and not enough attention to real windowing for iPad finally. Now, maybe add a real file system
Of course I don't know if these things will get companies to make full port of their apps to the iPad or not
Apple is very keen on coming up with catchy brand-able names for otherwise mundane features (some of which have already been around on other mobile OS). Are fans still really falling for this stuff? Anybody here still waiting in line for a new Apple product?
I think that may have applied to the AI situation, but certainly not everything. Apple isn't hurting for expertise. They just made a mistake with AI. It's not the end of the world, they'll be fine.
It's also an easy way to entice people to download a point update mid-cycle.
There is a huge difference between announcing features they are working on and running a whole ad campaign on a feature set that haven’t a chance of bringing to market anytime soon…
“We are working on a complete overhaul to CarPlay”….is fine.
“Buy this phone because it will let you do this later this year”….not so much.

I bought the M4 iPad Pro and Series 10 Apple Watch last year. I am in the market for a new iPhone and updated AirPods Pro this year. Still on the fence regarding the M4 MBA since my M1 is still going strong. But I ain't going anywhere.
I share that opinion, but I'm also really tired of the yearly major version cycles. I wish they wouldn't feel rushed by the shareholders to release some half-baked or 90% completed update just for the sake of releasing something every year for some arbitrary year over year metrics or to line up with the next hardware release. They should move to 2+ year cycles for both software and hardware so they can do what you said where all features are fully ready to go on the x.0 release, then spend the rest of the update lifecycle on bug fixes or minor changes based on feedback. Give that version of the OS some breathing room to really mature. All while the majority of development resources are working on the next major version. I doubt that will ever happen, but this rate of updates is really not sustainable indefinitely.
The need by the shareholders for constant year over year growth won't let them understand that. I'm not saying they should completely rest on their laurels, but the rate they are going is not sustainable indefinitely.
Good, that's how it should be. I'm tired of Apple announcing something early and then finally releasing it still half-baked, with the bugs and broken features never getting fixed. This lawsuit is long time coming. Love to see it.
Apple hasn't learned anything valuable until they fix PWM and temporal dithering.
I agree.
Unfortunately this seems beneath him for some reason.
I used to be sort of a pro Tim Cook guy (like 10 years ago now), but I'm pretty tapped out on him honestly.
No better way to teach trillion dollar corporations and get their attention than to hit them with lawsuits.
Or buy a phone/product from their competitors. I still have my huawei matebook pro X that was sold in the US during a very short time frame. Very nice product. Have my huawei mate 9 phone still even though it’s quite old. Might not be able to officially buy huawei products in the US but thankfully there’s the internet and great suppliers in Canada that have excellent prices due to the exchange rate. Might have to go check out what huawei is putting out these days if Apple doesn’t get their act together. I’m about due for a new laptop soon and will definitely be looking around to see what’s out there. Blame Tim Cook and the software department for losing, yet another, sale
Agreed. The technology really hit a plateau years ago. I can’t honestly say that I have seen anything new of interest (to me, at least) for several years. Apple is good stuff but I see no reason to upgrade any of it and don’t expect to for a good while.
Honestly they just need to release what they have almost ready for the September XX.0. Then, if something else becomes ready during the period between WWDCs, they can either choose to surprise and delight us with a new feature in an XX.X release, or hold it for the next WWDC, giving them time to polish it even further and queue up new features in advance so they can be certain they have been more fully tested.
