@ZONEofTECH @Apple Wow you are slow.

The NEW AirPods Max 2 are here 🎧 ✅ Dual H2 chips (finally!) ✅ 50% better ANC ✅ Adaptive Audio + Live Translation ✅ Still £549... same design Worth the upgrade? 🤔 @Apple #AirPodsMax2

@michael_riordan @silkiecarlo @Apple This isn’t true, if you have a credit card on file already it is immediate as no one under 18 can have one. If not you have to do something else.

Worth noting that the system is so buggy that it is almost impossible to get passports to work. Without a credit card or driving licence — I can’t drive — I was unable to prove myself. @Apple’s statement that those with a a longstanding Apple account or payment method is a lie: I got my email address when MobileMe started in 2008 and have multiple debit cards on file. @BBCNews should have done due diligence and clarify that Apple’s statements are verifiable nonsense.

🚨 Apple's new iOS update has just put an ID check on all Britons' phones. It is beyond outrageous! Unless you give an ID/credit card, you now have a child's device with restricted access to information. @Apple MUST U-turn on this! My comments on BBC: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@paytondev @LocallyAIApp I mean what is a limited compared to? Like what ON DEVICE models are you comparing it against? eg Queen 3.5 is strong but slow for some tasks, or Gemma 3n which is fine but compatible vs foundation models depending on use case.

@AppleBytesPhD @LocallyAIApp i haven't meaningfully tried it in a while but back when i did try it it was heartbreakingly mid. it's gotten better lately but still limited

"Apple can...produce smaller models that...are small enough to run directly on Apple devices" we're so back

@MacObserver “Finally gets usb c”, like are you dumb or something?

AirPods Max 2 finally gets USB-C and better noise canceling after four years of complaints, but announcing April 1st delivery feels like Apple trolling everyone who's been begging for this update. macobserver.com/news/airpods-m…

@KieranBLK @ParkerOrtolani You know you can just press on the left hand button to make it appear right? But yes I would prefer to auto appear after a medium scroll back also.

@ParkerOrtolani They need to swap out the multi state tabbar for the new static App Store one. I truly hate how it constantly minimizes and you have to scroll all the way back up to unminimize it.

the new music app in 26.4 is the best example of how to do Liquid Glass well and a great showcase for why it exists in the first place

@vikpai Why is this a problem?

A $4.5B company is really announcing Face ID as auth for payments

@_CODEwalker @MacRumors I love this AI generated crap response.

This is a small feature with a big systems impact. Apple is basically exposing a hidden bottleneck in your setup. Most people think their Mac is “slow” or charging fine, when the real issue is the power delivery system behind it. Now you can actually see where performance is being limited. That’s how good systems work: They don’t just run, they surface inefficiencies so you can fix them! It’s the same in business. If your ops don’t show you where the slowdown is, you’ll keep guessing instead of improving.

macOS Tahoe 26.4 Adds Slow Charger Indicator for MacBooks macrumors.com/2026/03/25/mac…

@andrewjclare @SdotMORNINGSTAR It was actually in the app well before it came to the lock screen, as for quite some time people were asking why the design within the app didn’t get pushed to the lock screen, which it did in iOS26.

@andrewjclare @SdotMORNINGSTAR It has been in the app for some time actually, but it has worked intermittently. The actual change is that the colour is now matched under the songs, which as a dark mode user I actually dislike the change. The positive is that the 3D motion seems more reliable in app.

Apple Music cooked in iOS 26.4

@VerdeSelvans Nahh as soon as the software was updated there was literally no use case for this as a feature vs having a larger battery.

3D Touch is easily one of Apple’s greatest features ever.

@9to5mac @iryantldr I don’t understand how this is “news” if anyone actually looked into what Apple was actually getting from Google, where for the record it is NOT Gemini off the shelf.

@james_macsween @NobleExcalibur @Alexarmstrong Wow you are so dumb it’s crazy.

@NobleExcalibur @Alexarmstrong Now the government will know everything you do on the Internet. I actually don't see the fuss tbh.

If you update your iPhone, Apple will require you to send them a copy of your ID or credit card. This is the latest fresh hell as a result of the Labour and Conservative Online ‘Censorship’ bill. The phone will automatically block ‘adult’ material or websites until you submit.

@TechnicallyTee I just typed that at speed and had no issues at all, when before it was missing words and letters frequently.

@TechnicallyTee Yes massively

Have you guys on the new iOS update experience better typing and autocorrect??

@t_zakaryan1992 @nandoprince93 Locally AI, and you can run on iPhone, iPad and Mac

@AppleBytesPhD @nandoprince93 App name please

Can someone tell me what this is?

@stephenrobles It’s a shame they never seem to offer trade ins for AirPods Max.

So AirPods Max 2 go on sale when??

@nandoprince93 I also do not mean to be rude, but what annoys me is how many tech reviewers comment on Apple and AI without taking any interest in the actual LLM that they have released for free that you can run on device and actually performs surprisingly well for its intended use cases.

@nandoprince93 How do you not know what this app is? It is a very useful app that allows you to run LLMs locally on different devices, including the Apple Foundation Model, which if reviewers actually used then they would realise this is a good model when you account for speed.

@alberto_delisau @nandoprince93 You are so dumb it’s actually embarrassing.

@nandoprince93 A diferencia de otros chats de IA, este modelo de Apple está instalado por completo en tu dispositivo y no necesita ir a internet para darte las respuestas que necesitas. ¿Qué tan precisa o relajada es la respuesta? No lo sé 🤷🏻‍♂️

@alberto_delisau @nandoprince93 What the leg are you talking about? This is NOT an Apple app, but instead one developed by an independent developer that allows you to easily run local LLMs, and has absolutely nothing to do with Apple.

@nandoprince93 Es una app que Apple provee a los desarrolladores. Debes tener Xcode, descargar los archivos con el código fuente y luego compilarla y enviarla a tu dispositivo.
