cobaltOh dear. I read the article forecasting the next big Apple update. It’s Ai all the time and so so exciting. NOT. Based on this article it looks like I will stay with my “older model” #iPhone that will NOT be able to get all the new and exciting #iOS Ai features. Darn. https://mastodon.social/@dotpack/116338626223899785
DB@cobalt123 This Liquid Glass stuff is BS. If they go all AI, I’m selling mine and buying a flip phone with voice and text only.
@lawyersgunsnmoney You and me too! I found out how to opt out of Liquid Glass but I had to make changes in about 5 settings. After I did it on my old phone, I had to do it again on my older backup phone #11ProMax #iPhone11ProMax
PS it’s always interesting when in Mastodon using my iPhone the auto suggestions of trending hashtags come up with things I never thought about tagging before, like my very old 11 model. Maybe people are also tagging my older yet 8 model! Uh, does this auto suggestion thing only happen with iPhones?
@cobalt123 I have a 13. Not sure how they come up with the suggestions but I deleted the app I was using and just log in directly to the website. As far as I can tell the suggestions are not influenced by whether or not one is using an iPhone
Netraven@cobalt123 there's some kind of instant ios hack that was released... last week I think(?)
It's called Darksword and I hear it's a very real threat for anyone from the next door neighbor kid, to state actors gaining full access to your phone.
@Netraven yes! That’s why I updated immediately. I thought I was still on iOS 18 so I perked up right away for this. Turns out I already had iOS 26 or so. Well alrighty then.
@cobalt123 ah well. 26 has things people complain about too. Though, I think people do like to complain.
Colorblind Cowboy@cobalt123 @dotpack iPhone Mini for life!
Maria Langer | 📝🛥️💎@cobalt123 I still haven't updated anything to 26.
