Everything prior to the bold section is niggershit, but that part is 100% correct. I am on an M2Pro and haven't had major issues, just doing the address re-send with the address bar and Enter key works fine and my iPad hasn't had any problems at all in Safari.
I’ve never used a Mac for more than a few minutes. But I miss the look of Skeuomorphism that iOS had. Liquid Glass sucks.
Forbes contributor articles are always pure shit. They have no standards for the bloggers they allow to post shit on that site.
I'm glad they did another "this is just a bug fix/performance" release. iOS 26 and macOS 26 were a disaster. They should have let every device that would run 26 upgrade to 27.
iPadOS 26 was awesome and really makes an iPad Pro a much more capable device. It is a really cool bridge between iOS and macOS.
That's the version that gave iPadOS a window manager right?
I honestly really liked macOS 26 and liquid glass in general. Though a bunch of retarded decisions were made such as searching for apps. I never really found liquid glass to be distracting or painful to use. Besides on iOS 26. They fucked it up over there.
Yep. Also makes people wonder why they don't allow macOS on an iPad (money. The answer is money.)
There are very good reasons not to put the full macOS interface on iPads. Most people asking for that have never tried using a Windows tablet. To make something that works as well as Apple's UX standards require, you can't just throw a desktop OS on a touchscreen. iPadOS 26 is pretty much the perfect balance of capabilities and interface for a tablet, as it allows multiple windows and more customization that iOS does, but uses very intentional design to suit a touch interface.
I can't comment on the macOS side, but iOS-wise visually Liquid Glass is beautiful and a nice aesthetic change that pushes againest the cheap minimalism agenda that's been pushed on UI design for years. It looks like an actual evolution in aesthetics for once.
People complaining about the transparency in OS26 clearly didn’t know it can be turned off or down in Accessibility in Settings.
I’m irritated that a watch I bought brand new a few years ago won’t be getting the new watchOS. Not interested in the fugly watch faces they have put out the past few years and AI. But I would like a light version of WatchOS 27 that continues to get some of the updates.
It isn't ever 100% turned off. It is just made less bad.
It is as close to gone as most people really need, especially in Dark Mode.
They held off longer than 90%of computer companies, that’s as much as anyone could really hope for. Everyone else jacked up today’s prices based on tomorrow’s costs to get extra gravy while they sold down their parts inventories.
Is Apple big enough that they could commission their personal chip factory? So it would be co-owned with a major chip fab but Apple can choose to buy all of it's output or agree to have some output sold off to other customers
I agree. Their price increases on computers has been pretty fair.
$5 for a Chromebook is too much.
Not practical. If you want to know more about how the economics of these sorts of big industrial developments work, the 'Asianometry' YouTube channel does great work summarizing what goes on.
