I held off installing macOS 26 due to all the negative press. Should I upgrade to macOS 27?
probably not.

#632Any way to make Safari’s tabs look and behave like they did on Sequoia?

#633How can I not remove 35GB of "Apple Intelligence" download? I hope there is a way to do this both on macOS and on the iPhone too
On macOS you can delete them manually (though it requires booting into recovery mode and temporarily disabling System Integrity Protection).

#634Was just looking over the Safari 27 release notes¹, which is part of macOS 27, and noticed this: Web Driver New Features - Allow your agent to connect to a Safari browser for development and debugging via the Safari MCP server. (176038457) Related (From July 1st) Introducing the Safari MCP server for web developers https://webkit.org/blog/18136/introducing-the-safari-mcp-ser... So that's interesting. On the other han…
> On the other hand, looks like WebXR support for Safari will never come.
Thanks for checking. What a mess. I'm so sick of the workarounds that have to make.

#635I've been using it for several months since the developer beta came out; overall I'm extremely positive on it. One of their better releases that seemingly focused more on quality and refinements than new-features. Siri is definitely worth using now, even if it remains still a work-in-progress/needs continued refinement. It can surprise you in good ways, but it isn't consistently good yet. The keyboard remains unfixed…
"""One of their better releases that seemingly focused more on quality and refinements than new-features.""" - Compared to a lot of others, this one have introduced more bugs than I have ever experienced in more than 10 years. I have stopped submitting bugs because of the tedious bug reporting app, only submit really bad ones. Can't they give some helping functions to finding the correct categories based on problem d…
Compared to ios 26?

#636This is going to sound like a really weird and irrelevant nitpick, but I dislike how they changed the version numbers to be year+1. I like that they all unified and have a relationship to the current year, but we're not buying cars. We're getting operating systems and not being confused about chronology is pretty important for bug tracking or other minutiae. Plus, the Mac lineup use(d) the year of release. Why move a…
Do you hate *Ubuntu YY.MM style versions with their major LTS every even year in April and minor every October? Like April 2026 is 26.04
But Ubuntu sticks to the year and month the OS was released. I think OP was complaining about MacOS using year+1 as the version, even though the OS is being released in the current year.
I personally find Ubuntu's versioning to be the easiest to understand because you know when this Ubuntu version was released. It would be very annoying if they called Ubuntu 26.10 Ubuntu 27, though.

#637Earlier quoted context omitted.
This, and then, if you notice, and backspace to remove the 'e', it doesn't put chess back into the search results, since it figures that everything that matches 'che' also matches 'ch', and so doesn't update it. Sometimes, if you add the 'e' again, it _will_ find chess, sometimes you need to type the 's', or even the final 's' before it gives you chess back again. And sometimes, it finds what you want, but before you…
Weird, the same stupid crap happens with Windows. I’ve had to learn the exact N character search to find the things I use often; any more or less and the result with that name is buried. It’s like Microsoft and Apple are just pip installing same broken search package.
Always turn off searching the internet as much as possible on both. Helps a ton. I think I set both windows and iOS to only search local applications and settings

How is the keyboard broken? Maybe I'm so used to whatever it is that I'm blind to it.
They have some nasty "dynamic tap zones" algorithm that dynamically resizes the hitbox for keys based on what it predicts you will type in order to reduce miss-taps. Anecdotally, it has just steadily been getting worse with every update. I swear I can be pressing the center of a key and it will select the next one over and immediately autocorrect to a completely different word than what I typed. I had the pleasure of…
If you turn off swipe or whatever the hell they call it the keyboard is a lot better.
Gboard on Android though is way better

#639Siri AI feels like a beta version (I think it officially is?). It’s unaware indexing isn’t done yet so it just tells me “I can’t find any photos of Italy” although there’s many thousands. Then it tells me how to let it access my photos using nonexistent iOS settings, even though permissions aren’t the problem. Amateurish.
It is still not multi language. I mean I can talk to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, fucking Grok in any language I want and it will understand / respond in given language. Apple being Apple, I have to choose a language in Siri menu and it has to be the phone language for some reason.. Otherwise it downgrades to old Siri. Apple's incompetence in AI / Assistant etc stuff has to be studied.
What is amazing to me is that when driving, Siri used to read out messages sent to me in other languages in the original language.
Now it just says something like "A message in a different language".

I just don't think they have it in them to be a leader in a new, experimental tech like this.
They took like 7 years to come out with a foldable iPhone remember - lol!
