Daring Fireball: Apple Announces Sweeping but Complicated Policy Changes for Apps in the EU, Attempting to Comply With the Latest Dictums Regarding the DMA
It’s a natural consequence that an overly complicated law (the DMA) has resulted in an ever-more-complicated set of guidelines and policies (from Apple). It’s all downright byzantine.
macOS Tahoe Beta 2 Fixes the Finder Icon - 512 Pixels
If you missed my previous post on the topic, the first version of Tahoe had the dark blue on the right side of the Finder icon, which was criminal. Our 14-day national nightmare is over. As of Developer Beta 2, the Finder icon in macOS Tahoe has been updated to reflect 30 years of tradition: […]
Mauvaise nouvelle : iPhone Mirroring n'arrivera pas en France avec iOS 26 - Numerama
Nouveauté majeure d'iOS 18, la fonctionnalité « Recopie de l'iPhone » permet de contrôler l'écran de son téléphone depuis son Mac. Bloquée dans l'Union européenne à cause « d'incertitudes règlementaires », elle ne devrait pas faire son apparition immédiate en France et en Europe. En 2024, avec iOS 18 et macOS
Why did Apple ice out the most famous Apple blogger? — Channels with Peter Kafka — Overcast
If you want smart, nuanced insight into Apple’s products and would-be products, you turn to John Gruber, who’s been blogging about this stuff for more than two decades at his Daring Fireball site. So in March, when Gruber announced that Something is Rotten in the State of Cupertino — focusing on Apple’s botched plans to imbue its ailing Siri service with state-of-the-art AI — lots of people paid attention. Including, apparently, folks at the very top of the Apple org chart. I talked to Gruber about the fallout from that post. Which is pretty interesting! But there’s a lot more going on in this conversation. It’s partly about the friction Apple has been generating lately — not just about its AI efforts, but the way it runs its App Store, and the way it interacts with developers — and why all of that does and doesn’t matter. And it’s also about the delightfully retro practice of running an ad-supported blog in 2025. That works very well for Gruber, but it seems like the new Grubers of the world are doing their…
Daring Fireball: One Week Out, Some Brief Thoughts and Observations on WWDC 2025
My biggest takeaway from WWDC 2025 is that Apple seemingly took some lessons to heart from its unfulfilled promises of a year ago. This year’s WWDC wasn’t merely focused on what Apple is confident it can ship in the next 12 months, but on what they can ship *this fall*.
Hands-On: How Apple's New Speech APIs Outpace Whisper for Lightning-Fast Transcription - MacStories
Late last Tuesday night, after watching F1: The Movie at the Steve Jobs Theater, I was driving back from dropping Federico off at his hotel when I got a text: Can you pick me up? It was from my son Finn, who had spent the evening nearby and was stalking me in Find My. Of
Interview: Craig Federighi Opens Up About iPadOS, Its Multitasking Journey, and the iPad's Essence - MacStories
It’s a cool, sunny morning at Apple Park as I’m walking my way along the iconic glass ring to meet with Apple’s SVP of Software Engineering, Craig Federighi, for a conversation about the iPad. It’s the Wednesday after WWDC, and although there are still some developers and members of the press around Apple’s campus, it
Dickinson High to retire 'Midgets’ mascot after nearly a century - InForum | Fargo, Moorhead and West Fargo news, weather and sports
District officials say student concerns, legal risks and evolving values led to the change. A new mascot will be chosen through a community process, with a cost-conscious approach.
Daring Fireball: Apple’s Spin on the Personalized Siri Apple Intelligence Reset
Most rank and file engineers within Apple do not believe that feature existed in an even vaguely functional state a year ago, and the first any of them ever heard of it was when they watched the keynote with the rest of us on the first day of WWDC last year.
WWDC25: macOS Tahoe Compatibility, Will Be Last to Support Intel Macs - 512 Pixels
As expected, this release of macOS does drop some older Intel machines from the line. This is what is supported: MacBook Air with Apple silicon (2020 and later) MacBook Pro with Apple silicon (2020 and later) MacBook Pro (16‑inch, 2019) MacBook Pro (13‑inch, 2020, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports) iMac (2020 and later) Mac mini (2020 […]
WWDC25: macOS Tahoe Breaks Decades of Finder History - 512 Pixels
Something jumped out at me in the macOS Tahoe segment of the WWDC keynote today: the Finder icon is reversed. You can see that in the image below. On the left is macOS Sequoia, and on the right is macOS Tahoe: I know I am going to sound old and fussy, but Apple needs to […]
Daring Fireball: Gurman Says New UI Is Named ‘Liquid Glass’ (and Makes a Terrible Analogy Regarding Apple’s Risk With Falling Behind on AI)
If it takes Apple as long to have its own competitive LLMs as it did to have its own competitive web browser, I suspect they’ll soon be paying to use the LLMs that are owned and controlled by others, not charging the others for the privilege of reaching Apple’s platform users.
Kyle Hughes: "At work I’m developing a new iOS app on a small t…" - Mister Computer
At work I’m developing a new iOS app on a small team alongside a small Android team doing the same. We are getting lapped to an unfathomable degree because of how productive they are with Kotlin, Compose, and Cursor. They are able to support all the way back to Android 10 (2019) with the latest features; we are targeting iOS 16 (2022) and have to make huge sacrifices (e.g Observable, parameter packs in generics on types). Swift 6 makes a mockery of LLMs. It is almost untenable.
