Liquid Glass on macOS is such a joke. Most of the redesign was just turning buttons into Fisher Price-looking circles and ovals. I'm typing this from Safari which looks so stupid in Tahoe. The tab bar is a giant oblong oval with a bunc

When Jobs announced the iPhone in 2007 he said it was running OSX but what that actually means is anybody's guess. iOS is closer to macOS in functionality today than the iPhone's first OS. I personally liked iOS and macOS being se

If they want to get these things into schools it would be insane to expect the schools to also supply everyone with AirPods or some other kind of wireless headphones.

You can still get a chronological feed if you tap the Instagram logo at the top and click "Following" But you can't turn that mode on as a default, and it essentially kicks you from the normal app hierarchy into a separate ba

I find there's more times that it summarizes a single message to something more convoluted than times it catches me up. It would at least be nice if they could do some basic attempts to detect scam texts, because I frequently see AI me

The Apple of the past never thought twice about people complaining about the lack of them implementing something that would be bad UX because they were confident in their design prowess.

I'm not really sure what's spiteful about that I'd hazard a guess that people use significantly less storage on iPads than their phones. Phones get filled with photos and videos, whereas people use iPads primarily to browse s

That sounds like a pretty good way of organizing honestly. As long as you can remember where things are more-or-less within the individual screens, if you have a lot of apps installed and you have some that are only occasionally used, scrol
