Is ChatGPT enshitification about to begin? It certainly looks like it. Fuck.

How many ways can you write that the iPhone 17 is an improvement compared to last year’s iPhone 16? 🤨
-
I have a deep feeling that AI and Apple Intelligence are consuming a significant amount of development resources at Apple, which could explain why this year’s releases are so buggy.

In the article “Why Everybody Is Losing Money On AI,” Edward Zitron discusses the unsustainable financial model of generative AI companies, highlighting that they are consistently unprofitable due to high operational costs and escalating expenses associated with model inference.
In other words, AI is a money pit.

I’m concluding that without an external screen, multitasking on the iPad is best experienced with Stage Manager. It’s a more controlled experience (hence requiring less management). With an external monitor, then going all in with windowing is the way to go. That’s my conclusion anyway.
-
With flexibility comes mandatory management. That’s the case with iPadOS multitasking. Ideally, management should be kept at the minimum. That’s not the case with the current state of iPadOS windowing system. It. Is. So. Cumbersome. It. Is. A. Regression.

The latest ludicrous bug found, this time on iPadOS 26.1 beta1. That is really one of its kind. 🥴

Yes, Om, I should go out and get some air, indeed. I might visit an Apple Store this weekend to take a closer look at the iPhone Air, even though I’m not upgrading or replacing my current iPhone. Comments are generally positive.

I have to say that this year’s Apple OS releases are the most unfinished, unpolished, uneven and buggy .0 releases in a long, long time. It’s the only unifying thing across the board, not Liquid Glass. It will take many more releases for Apple to bring some order to this mess. Every day, I discover a new issue.
-
Don’t tell me, Apple, Liquid Glass is all about the content. It’s not. With Liquid Glass, UI elements jump into your face! They are distracting. It doesn’t take a master degree in design to understand and experience that. It’s obvious. Let’s play the video, ladies & gentlemen.

Watch out, Synology, you’ve got some serious competition. I like what Ubiquity is doing these days, not only in the networking equipment space but in other devices, too. Who knows, I might replace my Synology NAS with one of these.

Just tried Apple Live Translation with my wife. She was purposely talking in English while I was speaking French with my AirPods Pro 2. This is so seemless, powerful and cool.
-
I spent a few moments this morning reading user reactions to Apple Liquid Glass on r/ios on Reddit. 😳 Ouch. It’s messy. Maybe each major release of iOS brings this level of criticism, but I doubt it. A lot of people who upgraded ask how to return to iOS 18 or plan to leave the Apple ecosystem altogether. The latter is something easier said than done, but still, the sentiments seem really negative.
Now, let’s take a look at how things are going on Digg. 👀

Well, I’m thinking of upgrading my M4 Mac mini to macOS 26 Tahoe… I know, I know, I’m very critical of Apple Liquid Glass, especially what it does to the Mac… but now, my Mac on Sequoia feels… should I say it… outdated? 🫣

My wife truly is a typical Apple user. Usually, I’d encourage her to update all her devices to Apple’s latest OSes. But this year, I think she would resent me for it. 🫣
-
Today, Apple releases a slew of operating system updates, including Liquid Glass, an already controversial, divisive, and well-documented user-hostile unified visual language across all of their operating system. I’m pleased to announce the addition of a “Before & After” section in my now-famous website: “Where Apple’s Liquid Glass Crashes the User Experience”. Have a look and see how developers adopted Liquid Glass.
