I am very sad that there is no iPadOS for A12X iPads. That tablet is the first one to be clearly desktop-class, and would still be usable with Linux as a desktop. iPadOS 26 sadly has too many issues, and it would have deserved an upgrade to 27.

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…
> Apple's search is so comically bad. There needs to be more rage at search in Mail.app. It’s quicker to rollback through them all than it is to use search, but when you get tens or hundreds a day it’s excruciating. Please Apple, fix email search.
Looking forward to see how Siri AI works and develops. Do you guys think it will be powerful enough?
Me: - Hey, what's the sunrise time tomorrow?
Siri: - (showing me popup with sunrise info)
Me: - Can you respond with a voice?
Siri: - To whom?
Me: - To me..
Siri: - Here are the contacts I found in your contact list.
Me: - No, I mean can you give me the answer using voice?
Siri: - Here are some results I found on the web...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. 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…
What if I don't want that Siri AI. It should be optional.

I think this is honestly correct strategy. Gaming is a license game, not a hardware game. Apple wants you to buy your games through the App Store, so they can take the 30%, which means competing with Steam. Which means getting licensed games on the App Store. Apple already fought one such license war over music and won. They're currently doing Apple TV as well. However, for the gaming industry they're complete strang…
I think you’re responding to “gaming” and thinking of AAA titles which are flashy and splashy but are a smaller market than mobile games. I guess gp might have been thinking of mobile or casual where Apple does have a significant stake and interest but no appreciable focus.
Of course Apple is doing perfectly fine for mobile gaming, and is giving more than enough tools to developers to implement mobile games perfectly well.

How is the keyboard broken? Maybe I'm so used to whatever it is that I'm blind to it.
Try an android keyboard and go back to an iphone. Having switched back and forth between both systems it’s quite remarkable how bad the iphone keyboard is. In practice , typing on an iphone means constant typos, bad autofix, and bad suggestions.
