@JoshEdits Consoles and PC’s are the same thing. You’re just letting yourself buy the same product twice and falling for the separation illusion 😭
English
Real question. If consoles are $1000 and all the games are digital…
Then what’s the point of a console?

@LuftkoppTim @OutofGalaxyy Very thin** actually. Basically the app letters and logos follow a specific set of rules varying from the box it lives in. It sucks right now because they’re trying to make Liquid Glass one size fits all, when it’s actually way more nuanced
English
@LuftkoppTim @OutofGalaxyy Keep in mind that each petal from the photos app, just like both letters and the Apple logo from TV have dark borders, cause they’re all treated like sharp, glass objects. The actual square of the app doesn’t follow the same rules. It’s way more blurred. No black edges there
English
You can like the look, somehow. But you just can't tell me this cartoon style shit looks like glass AT ALL. And I cannot take you seriously if you think this looks "like real glass now". Glass doesn't have a fucking black border around everything.

iOS 27 Liquid Glass looks AMAZING and anyone that says otherwise just doesn’t know what they’re talking about 🥰

@OutofGalaxyy @LuftkoppTim Neither one of you are wrong at all. The black borders are a real occurrence, Apple dialed it way too much onto everything. They’re still figuring this out. I’d love to make you argue over this instead: x.com/visionprofan/s…

It only looks nice at the discretion of 1st party apps & developers. Apple should’ve tightened app logo guidelines. It was never a transparency legibility problem, it was, and still is, a color differentiation problem. Try making all your calendars one color, and tell me how that works for you
English
As I said, it’s not the right representation of the occurring. And yeah, it will definitely not always be dark. That’s impossible. But it will be considered as darker, as the colors from around the icon concentrate in a thin border. So it would appear darker. I explained it wrongly before with being actually darker. My bad.
I would also assume that it’s impossible to create a setting for where there is no black or dark color at ALL to be reflected to them be refracted into the glass of the icon, so Apple tried to base the constantly dark (wrongly black) border.

HomePod mini with watch chip inside: Price increase
Apple Watch with watch chip inside: No price increase

@app_settings Both Apple & consumers confused the feedback on what works and what doesn’t work. Idk who decided glass philosophy should only be one color: gray.

@erixstewart @markgurman AVP has does more than you think for Apple. It pioneered iOS features such as:
• Liquid Glass
• Spatial photos (v1) + photo capture
• Eye tracking navigation
• Gaussian splats (v2)
• Siri real-time camera analysis (laying the foundation for glasses)
English
It’s here to stay for a long time and the best part is M2 still gets all the benefits that M5 is getting. Since its launch, they’ve been slowly making it the foundational influence across platforms and continuously receives QOL & functionality improvements. Apple has been showing that both M2 & M5 investments are getting their moneys worth
English
Those expecting big Vision Pro news got their wish today.
Mark Gurman@markgurman
Apple has also raised the starting price of the Vision Pro to $3,699 from $3,499. The 1TB model is now a whopping $4,199.
English
@mundoxrbrasil @markgurman It’s his job, and engaging with his content is only provoking the behavior you’re penalizing, further. So I’m not sure what your comment is really doing
English
@markgurman Sure, “Apple Vision Pro user.” 😂
We know you’re still a little salty after people started calling out some of those editorial exaggerations made in the name of clicks and paywalls. 🥹
English
@neilcybart @KairockZ Thinking about this kinda makes sense. I wonder if the new products will keep these price tags and give some what of a buffer between now and September to increase Q revenue. And if customers buy after September, not the latest model, it benefits Apple still?

In an unprecedented move reflecting the worsening memory crisis, Apple has raised product prices mid-cycle across several product categories.
Macs, iPads, TV & Home hardest hit. No change to iPhone, Watch, AirPods (for now).
We haven’t seen anything like this in modern Apple.
English
Apple was finally forced to raise prices on Mac, and now they're once again terrible value over an equivalent Windows PC.
MacBook Neo now starts at $699 without Touch ID, which is same price as the incredible Dell XPS 13 that's far more equipped at this price.
MacBook Air 13-inch now starts at $1,299, which is $150 more than the Surface Laptop 13-inch with 16GB RAM.
MacBook Pro now starts at $1,999(!!) which is a whopping $400 more expensive than the new Surface Laptop 8. Insane price hikes across the board.
English
Memory price hikes have finally started hitting Apple. Today, they raised some base prices:
Macbook Neo: $599 -> $699
Macbook Air: $1099 -> $1299
Macbook Pro: $1699 -> $1999
Mac Studio: $1999 -> $2499
iPad Air $599 - $749
iPad Pro: $999 -> $1199

@ChaitanyaOnTech I see it more as an accessibility thing. Instead of an annoying bubble on your screen, you just tap it and don’t have to hit another button. Your thumb will be closer to Siri/search throughout the software without being in the way (at least I hope it’s designed with this in mind)
English
I fear Apple may become like Microsoft in a bad way with their AI approach
Like “Ask Siri AI” about the calculator app
Or “Write with Siri” some may like AI writing but I don’t
I love the new Siri AI but it doesn’t need to be embedded everywhere, if they want to go that route, give the option to disable Siri Ai in that specific part of the OS.
Yeah I know its still a beta so its subject to change but thought its worth pointing out.
English
what’s funny is that many models are capable of already doing this by basic gesture control and x/y axis coordination but every company wants to prevent a lawsuit 🙄 we need better disclaimer agreements about consumers not holding AI liable about losing their data or hallucinating
English
I asked Siri to “turn on notifications for the Airbnb app” while driving, but she couldn’t.
I wish Apple would put more focus on hands-free control of app settings like this, features that would actually make Siri feel useful day to day.

🚨Scoop: Welp, right as I said this, several Gemini 3.5 Pro checkpoints based on what appears to be a NEW pretrain (called revision 25) appeared.
To clarify, 3.5 Flash is based on the ancient pretrain I was talking about before (called revision 24) which 2.5 Pro used.
However, these new checkpoints are weird. They mention March 2026 knowledge cutoff but they don't know major stuff from late 2025.
Also attached below is the underlying model ID for 3.5 Flash in AI Studio 👀
Lentils@Lentils80
One of the main reasons why Google's Gemini is falling behind is because they're still using an ancient pretrain. You can tell by the January 2025 knowledge cutoff and the still-present common Gemini pitfalls after all these months. They're trying to force it to be good in agentic tasks and it's not really working that well. Anthropic is dominating because they have excellent pretraining AND post-training. OpenAI is also doing relatively good but they're gonna have to train much bigger models if they want to catch up to Fable/Mythos.
