    It’s deleted? What did you delete, Siri? And why is there not an undo button on a potentially destructive action????! #siri #apple

    What’s the point of adding all these fancy new AI/Siri features if the Apple Watch is too stupid to use its cellular connection when needed? Apple’s paying for data centers its customers can’t connect to. #applewatch #siri #apple

    Strong disagree on this one. The horizontal orientation makes it simpler to navigate and brings it in line with iOS app switching. The sliding animation helps the user to understand where they are going to/from. Admittedly “reduce animation” in accessibility settings should turn it off. Learn to use command-tab to quickly switch apps and the space will follow. https://mjtsai.com/blog/2026/06/03/macos-needs-its-spaces-grid-back/

    Pretty sure Jobs would have killed this “futuristic” product by now. (Like he did with OpenDoc and Newton.) Sometimes being a CEO means knowing when to say “No”. https://9to5mac.com/2026/04/23/john-ternus-explains-what-he-thinks-of-apple-vision-pro/

    Good post about Apple Invites. I remember enjoying iCards, but Invites just feels like friction to use. Maybe not everything needs to be an app? Or maybe this feature should be built into the Calendar app? It really feels like something that will just be abandoned by Apple in a year. https://mjtsai.com/blog/2026/04/29/apple-invites-1-8/ #apple

    I remember when it was Apple policy to not announce products that weren’t ready to ship. Let’s see if Ternus and Cook understand why now. They certainly didn’t learn their lesson with “AirPower”. https://appleinsider.com/articles/26/05/05/lawsuit-over-delayed-siri-features-reaches-massive-250m-settlement #apple

    Displaying “Processing Payment” when downloading a free app from the App Store is such horrible UI/UX. #apple #appstore

    @noheger@wien.rocks Remember when Mac windows had a nice large “resize handle” in that corner? It served as both a visual indicator, and an easy hit target. Looks like Apple brought it back on the iPad. They should probably bring it back on the Mac as well.

    @agiletortoise@mastodon.social That would make sense if Apple hadn’t gotten rid of sabbaticals when Steve Jobs came back.
