I’m adding representation to an issue that I hope is fixed: for the last couple months I’ve been able to record videos and watch those videos but am unable to share them, whether on instagram, whatsapp, airdrop or imessage. some limited luck saving the same video to the file system and sharing from there searching this issue is notoriously difficult, and there is one partially related thread on Apple support forums t…

> unable to share them What does "unable" mean?

Update: IOS 27 fixed it

(while IOS 26.7 did not)

CNET says that the OS auto-reclaims the space when needed: https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/how-to-turn-...

They don't have incentives to reclaim space imediately since disks that appear to be full sell more iCloud subscriptions.

Don't get me started as well on how the iCloud plans jump from 200gb to 2TB with absolutely nothing in between. Apple really knows how to extort their customers!

It's really not that bad.

The thing that I disliked the most about Tahoe is that they made light mode extremely bright, so it was a lot more uncomfortable to look at than Sequoia. I had to switch the computer to dark mode as a workaround. Did they fix this in Golden Gate or is light mode still too bright?

There's a fix on the keyboard, it's got a little sun icon, next to the escape key.

I usually use beta OSs, but I completely skipped MacOS 26 and 27, mostly because I heard terrible things about 26. Is 27 good enough to upgrade from Sequoia? Is your answer the same when I tell you I have an M1 Pro Max?

I would upgrade if only because you would otherwise stop receiving security patches at this point.

macOS 15 should be getting security updates until at least the end of next year. I've been using it for ~2 years and I'll happily spend another year using it.

Can't "autocorrect" be replaced to "autosuggest" instead like on android devices? I have never been fan of autocorrection tools (especially as I am regularly writing in 4 different languages) regardless of the OS but definitely use autosuggestions to correct potential spelling errors.

It can. I don’t understand how anyone willingly keeps autocorrect enabled on iOS. The autosuggestions are nevertheless still bad.

The iPhone keyboard "intelligent" tap target size is independent of autocorrect, however, and you can't turn it off or adjust it's behavior.

I'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.

Apple's search is so comically bad. For example, I can click on my applications, and I have an app called Chess. I can often type letters C-H-E-S-S and have it not show the Chess app. This is inside the applications folder! Many people have complained before. Honestly I ONLY search for app names in spotlight search or application window, it should be trivial to make it actually work. Maybe i just need to vibecode som…

I struggle daily with Finder's search. It cannot find files in my Downloads folder even if I type the exact name. Do I need to rebuild some index or some other setting?

Same example: I search Spotlight for “Voice Memos,” a built-in Apple app. Nothing. Ask Siri? It’s horrible.

There is also a new, larger voice to text model available... but not for an old iPhone like the 13 mini. Only like the iPhone 17 Pro and above. The best workaround is a third party app that lets you run Parakeet V3 or Whisper on your phone. There are quite a few.

It’s by far the best speech to text I’ve ever used so I’m a fan

Can you clarify, you like third party? Or you like the larger Apple model

(i(Pad)?|mac)OS 27 no longer allows Apple Intelligence to be disabled from one place like you could in iOS 26. Anyone who is trying to reduce their AI consumption or see fewer AI features might be interested in this change. I posted to Tell HN about it a few minutes ago here ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49704226 ), but TL;DR is that the only way to turn this off is to either disable each AI feature independ…

that seems mostly sensible? you are still able to do it, but the features probably should not be treated as a monolith

I liked the monolith. If I didn't want any AI on my device, I liked having the ability to switch that off and be done with it like Firefox offers (and what Apple offered in the last major release).
