‘…they decided solution to finding themselves in a hole is to dig faster‘

Resume a driven development? Product Manager ensures he built what leadership wanted?

@markgurman The font does not look flat anymore! Hopefully, macos gets some love back... like they have customers in hospitals and research centers... show them some love Apple... they all solve physical problems?

WWDC 2026 is now official. June 8 (keynote) to June 12.

@Ronitper Wonder why Zerodha needs to have access to storage!

Privacy is a joke if you are registered with stock brokers in India. (Except for the GOAT Zerodha)

@Google @googlemaps Scott Forstall imagined this, but his data team could not deliver it all in 6-8 months to build map from the ground up in 2011... we lost a genuis engineer... for the tech community...

Today @GoogleMaps is getting its biggest upgrade in over a decade. By combining our Gemini models with a deep understanding of the world, Maps now unlocks entirely new possibilities for how you navigate and explore. Here’s what you need to know 🧵

@thiago_peres @JRBalvinn @stalman Unless you learn cmd+w or CTRL+W in Windows, 612 GB of RAM is not sufficient. At certain point, no machine or nothing on earth will be without limitations.

@JRBalvinn @stalman Do college students also have to open all apps in the computer in one go? This video is about a PERFORMANCE TEST, not a diary in the day of a college student

The moment I realized I was going need to find a tougher test for the MacBook Neo😳

@ByAkshayRam @Apple And iMovie, Garage Band will shop with more analytics and subscription prompts?

Life update: I've joined @Apple  as a Product Manager on the Creative Apps team! So excited to work alongside the best building products that inspire the next generation of artists and creators!

@markgurman @nikitabier Windows users don’t care for apps, Mac market is too small. Care and craft dead in 2011 October. No, the head of products doesn’t have financial incentive to even ship an electron or web wrapped app.

@nikitabier Any plans to bring back the Mac app? I see it's gone from the App Store and features like DMs are broken.

lower-case time: I am on sequoia, no updates for iWork suite, and my shared numbers file goes out of collaboration because it is not updated! If you buy a apple hardware that does not support latest software, you are on your own. microsoft doesn't give office free on win laptops

@rjonesy While you're at it ask this question on every possible AI, and enjoy the responses "I want to wash my car, and the washing area is 500 meters away. Should I walk or cycle?" Results will surprise you. I tried this in five, and only one got it right.

Last week I cancelled ChatGPT, hooked up everything in Claude MCP... now I'm slowly going back to ChatGPT. Claude just times out, servers errors, etc too much.

You'd think the Pillsbury mascot would have a wheatish complexion.

@DavidR_Insights @rjonesy I hope Anand Shimpi from Anand Tech replaces Johny Srouji (if that rumour is true)

@rjonesy Interesting

FYI Apple bonuses are paid in late October. (These execs have been waiting to quit.)

@ButVai @BlrLitFest @ShashiTharoor madam, Bharadwaj standard dictionary work agudilla

Just two paronomastic wordplay enthusiasts who fortuitously wore Indigo on the wrong day. @BlrLitFest

@bobbuitech @theinformation @aatilley @waynema And no Forstall return in sight? Person who coded NEXSTEP - the macOS today is the only hope to get macOS back to usable form. I hope others get it and to but I don't expect them.

@theinformation @aatilley @waynema Feels less about the next hardware hit and more about who can force a cultural shift on AI. A totally different skillset than supply chain mastery.

@BillCrosby @dhh Who in the board of directors and current/upcoming crop of SVPs will make that decision? Probably none(sigh). Also, Craig Federighi should be shown the door before that talk can even happen. But I truly dream and wish he returned.

Apple was overdue a full executive reset. Just need to add Cook to the list. And for a replacement, Forstall is only 56. Time for a comeback?

consistency ≠ uniformity: for those who haven't lived through this era – we used to have beautiful, precision interfaces. now they're replaced by a design language that originated from the Apple Watch, with icons that only fit in squircles. but that's not even the point. the point is we used to design the whole stack – the technology, the concepts, the interfaces. when designers only care about superficial consistency, platforms lose their uniqueness. apple used to design systems. skeuomorphism wasn't just about leather textures – it was about teaching people new mental models. the trash can empties because you understand what a trash can does. aqua's lickable buttons and sheets had depth because the OS had layers you could understand. the old apple designed the whole stack – from metal to pixels to concepts. teams weren't just shipping features in the same box, they were building coherent platforms each with opinions about what computing should feel like for the medium. liquid glass is fine on a phone. but on macOS it's unusable – lack of precision, visual noise everywhere. this is what happens when UI language designed for fingers bleed into macOS. we went from interfaces designed for a 27" cinema display with a precise cursor to interfaces designed for a 1.5" screen you tap with one finger. the Mac is for creation and precision work. it needs information density. it needs chrome you can grab. it needs UI that gets out of your way but gives you power when you need it. instead we got padding and whitespace and translucent blurs optimized for touch targets nobody's touching. the squircle icon mandate is a symptom. when you force every icon into the same shape, you're saying "brand consistency" matters more than "each app icon needs to communicate its function instantly." we traded clarity for uniformity. we traded precise design for cross-platform sameness. consistency means your system has coherent rules within itself. uniformity means everything looks the same regardless of context. the hardware team still gets it – that macbook pro + M-series chips, chef's kiss. but software design feels like it's chasing fat fingers instead of remembering what people do on a Mac.

to commemorate alan dye moving from apple to meta, here's one of his best quotes

@ashwinsrihari @gruber hypercritical.co/2025/05/20/app… while we do not know what future holds like, past has been such a low for the computer designs and experience - we hope things will change

“Alan Dye is not untalented. But his talents at Apple were in politics. His political skill was so profound that it was his decision to leave, despite the fact that his tenure is considered a disaster by actual designers inside and outside the company.” @gruber on fire today 🥵🥵🥵🥵

@ParkerOrtolani @tomaxwell When I do plank, I used to say "hey Siri, countdown hundred seconds" worked fine until iOS18. iOS26, without Apple Dumb, starts counting down 1 hour 40 mins!

@tomaxwell barely ever

Speaks volumes that they needed to do a newsroom post for this with the departure and not the hire as the headline. apple.com/newsroom/2025/…

@ButVai This was the first car I boarded!
