Actual black for the pro phones?

I agree. Similar to all the anti-competitive lawsuits Apple has to deal with regarding the App Store because they’re clinging to every last dollar they can squeeze out of it, their iMessage approach seems to be going a similar way.

I’m sure tons of people are buying iPhones because of iMessage, but it looks like that might be slowly eroding away. In the end, they’ll have lost both their relevance in the messaging area and a strong reason for people to buy iPhones. They should’ve just made an Android app for iMessage.

There’s definitely tons of issues surrounding LLMs: how they’re created, what they spit out, and the impact they have. But there’s also use cases that go beyond grammar check imo, but everyone can figure that out for themselves.

I‘ve mostly given up on complaining about “AI” as a description, that’s just what we’re calling it now even though it never made any sense.

Think of it what you will, compared to crypto there’s actually value that people are getting from LLMs. Even with its current shortcomings.

In an ideal world, Apple intelligence will take care of this. But it’ll probably just highlight more important notifications while everything else is still there a swipe away.

Force them (including myself) to implement dark mode, and soon dark app icons.

If I remember correctly they’ve since removed that rule

Hiking ≠ walking

They had walking directions probably from the start, but there’s new topographical map now.

Are you talking about asking Siri about bedtime stories? Because that has been a thing for a while. Apple said that AI stuff was coming later this summer with a waitlist, so none of the new stuff should be there yet.

It’s not yet available, even in beta, right?

There’s no need for that Shortcut anymore, there’s a dedicated shortcut action from Apple now (Shortcut example)

I’ve been a long time 1password user, but they turned away from individuals and towards b2b. And they’ve gotten a lot more expensive as well. I ultimately switched to iCloud Keychain and I’m quite happy with it. There’s still a few shortcomings, but they don’t matter as much anymore. I’m happy to see the upcoming changes.

What’s the difference between the pro and non-pro version?

1Blocker, but there are probably better/cheaper ones out there.

For YouTube specifically I can recommend Vinegar.

You’re probably partially right, he made the Altstore specifically for his emulator and since Apple doesn’t like people using other app stores they changed their own rules last second to allow them in, as there’s basically no downside of doing so.

The Altstore has plans to open up to other apps as well, but why not put your own apps on it, especially if they are the only ones currently available.

The “Riley Tax” as you called it is mostly just an Apple tax though and to pay for infrastructure. I don’t see him getting rich from that.

I obviously don’t have any inside information, but my guess is that he’s not flexing with this, he just can’t let it go, he probably should. Especially since he’s already halfway in retirement.

I was basically begging for that comment ^^

I don’t know all of them, but I was talking about React being a framework, not a language.

Not all of these are programming languages btw
