This shit’s gonna flop, I’m calling it right now. Foldables are and probably will be a gimmick, at least for the foreseeable future. Apple wasted so much time and money on this, and you know they’ll never drop another one, so support will likely die off after a couple years.

So far, from my limited testing, the Siri app is a complete mess. Aside from countless bugs, which to be fair are to be expected for now, the model that it’s using is clearly behind the times when compared to ChatGPT or Gemini.

I’m not sure if this is due to the fact that Apple is running a localized model or what but it seems pretty dumb when compared to ChatGPT, especially when it comes to creative writing or other similar tasks.

For example, I told it to write a song using the same prompt I used on ChatGPT, and it completely failed to follow my simple instructions to start a new line after every bar, even after breaking it down and clarifying. It says “Got you,” then proceeds to spit out the same thing.

Anyone else find themselves defaulting back to colored Home Screen icons because the clear ones destroy the ease of use in the Settings app by making every single icon gray? I’ve been suggesting that Apple fix this since iOS 26 DB1, and here we are on iOS 27 and still no fix…

iPhone 16 Pro secured. I would’ve waited for the 17 Pro but I dropped my 14 Pro and now it’s toast. Just finished setting up the new phone and made a backup. iOS 26 here we come!

Today, I learned that Apple Store repair technicians wear special bracelets that they connect to while working on repairs in order to ground themselves from static electricity. Did any of y’all know about this?

It’ll be interesting to see if any researchers will be able to get Apple Intelligence features running on unsupported devices in the near future. Has anyone tried installing iOS 18.1 Beta on an unsupported device via a Mac yet? I’m curious as to what the results were…

Apple Intelligence only supporting the latest devices is one of the Apple’s biggest letdowns of modern times. I understand this is due to a RAM limitation, but it’s extremely upsetting to me that a $1,400 iPhone 14 Pro that I purchased just 2 years ago is already deprecated.

The only explaination for Apple Intelligence not being available on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 15 is a RAM limitation. However, 6GB of RAM should be more than enough for most AI features, with maybe the exception of Genmoji and On-Device Image Generation.

Also, this limitation could easily be solved if Apple took advantage of their Private Cloud Compute architecture to accomplish certain, more demanding tasks, such as Genmoji and On-Device Image Generation, on iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 15.

If anyone has an Apple Security Research Device (SRD), please contact me. I’m looking for some specific apps to be extracted off of the device for further research on normal devices. Thanks!

If anyone running a jailbroken device on iOS 15 and is willing to help with a little project of mine, let me know. 🫡

Just put two and two together that this was likely Apple’s early tests of what we would later see with the release of iOS 16. Clearly, they went through many stages of testing out different ideas, eventually settling on a Wallpaper UI similar to that of the Apple Watch.
I believe that the Wallpapers UI that leaked from before the iOS 14 betas were even available were likely scrapped, given that they haven’t made an appearance in the GM.
