The automatically update of my compromised passwords on websites is very impressive, and I wonder how it's achieved.

what's worrisome is that they continue to fail at it. it's one thing to say "we're still hashing things out". it's another to parade around Image Generation features that are obviously widely not-cared-for and oftentimes actively disliked Apple cares greatly about their brand yet this has hurt their brand like nothing else in the past decade
If anything, shipping and sitting on the previous incarnation of Siri as a basic feature set to shut up iPhone users for a few years while everything else matured might be viewed as a very shrewd move ten years from now.
That's one way of looking at it. Alternatively; Apple had their pick of the litter at TSMC for half a decade, and Nvidia beat them to 5 trillion total valuation with their design chops alone.

#333None for the EU Is it available in China at least or is this another “50% of the userbase gets nothing new in the OS update” year? Edit: https://x.com/wongmjane/status/2064052590992916840?s=46 Lol
Both the EU and China put enormous risk on misstepping. If you raise the cost of distribution, even just through time-cost, don’t be surprised when it fucking costs

#334>Fix passwords with a tap. >The Passwords app alerts you to weak or compromised passwords and can update them on your behalf without the hassle. Finally, I hope this works well. Personally one of the worst things to deal with.
I'll believe this when pigs fly. There's a 0% chance it will work. Most websites I've seen have one or all of: * Force you to use email or SMS as a "second factor" to unlock changing password even if you know the old password * A stupid idea of password complexity usually requiring one of a finite set of 5-8 "special characters" which is often only revealed after you've chosen a password that doesn't have them. Or in…
Don’t forget those sites/apps that split the sign in process across five screens for bow good reason or those with mislabeled fields that password managers can’t pick up on.
I don’t think I’ve seen a single category of UX fail as hard and as often as auth screens do. It’s like at some point after 2015-2017 developers were struck with mass amnesia and forgot how to build decent login UIs.

#335Wait, I got an iPhone 15 Pro Max because supposedly it was compatible with Apple Intelligence. But now it’s not supporting this?
To be fair, the iPhone 15 line came out before Apple Intelligence was even announced.
It's the iPhone 16 line that feels a bit shitty not getting the latest and greatest since it was advertised as "built for Apple Intelligence"
Apparently the 17 Pro is the only currently released iPhone that will get the best local model. Which I suppose makes sense considering it has 12GB of RAM compared to the 16 Pro's 8GB.

> I don't really believe in Apple being that quality team. Why?
its clear from their efforts thus far (image playground jesus fuck) that AI and even prompt engineering talent actively flocks away from them
Haven't you heard? Prompt engineering is dead. The cool kids are making Claude prompt itself. They're writing loops, not prompts. It's all about optimal tip-to-tip efficiency now.

#337Why would they wait so long to launch this? With every passing day countless people further ingrain ChatGPT / Claude as their default chatbot...
Re: Siri AI
#338Before they add AI they better fix the frigging search function in settings, it is horrible, you need to know their exact words, and Apple has a funny naming sense. Hierarchies nested so deep you never find anything. I come to use Claude or ChatGPT to tell me the right incantations to find a setting.
I don't even know that it's knowing the exact words, it just seems like sometimes the search decides it's just gonna give you no results because the vibes were off.
I'm almost sure that sometimes searching the same thing will give you the result and sometimes it won't.
Re: Siri AI
#339They should have changed the name as per branding. I hear Siri, I subconsciously associate it with really bad software.
Hey if they could turn Apple Maps around, why not Siri?
Re: Siri AI
#340I didn't really see anything that knocked my socks off. Mostly, it's the promise that Siri now works in the way in which they said it would work a few years ago, when it didn't. I do like the addition of Siri in the context menu, though. I can see that being useful.
It’s the same broken promise every year. All I want is for Siri to set an alarm and open my blinds. That’s enough for me. Makes you wonder how much money Apple has poured into Siri over the years.
I don't know why they bother. Clearly, nobody using Apple products cares enough to jump ship. Apple is never going to surpass Google, especially now that they are trying to build their own assistant on top of Google with one hand tied behind their back.
There's never going to be a situation where a heavy Google Assistant user switches over to Apple for Siri. Anyone who would have switched from Apple to Google for their assistant likely would have done so by now. Siri just isn't a very important feature. It doesn't bring people to Apple's platform nor does it steer them away. It might bother users that it sucks, but it doesn't bother anyone enough that it hurts Apple's bottom line. Frankly, continuing to pour money into that bottomless pit does more damage. I wonder why they do it.
