@tim @caseyliss Barely half a second. I guess I’m not bothered like the much of the internet over a start button taking ~0:005 to show up.
It really seems like much of the iOS 26 complaining has devolved from discussing legitimate issues at first into whining about petty issues just to keep the narrative artificially going.
The “normals” in my life who don’t follow Apple analysis from day-to-day had no comments about iOS 26 once they passed the initial “this looks different” phase.
@daringfireball Apple said it would be out by the end of 2026. None of these rumors contradict that (iOS 27 will be out before the end of 2026). Unfortunately it's not fast enough for the Apple commentators, but nothing ever is.
When it's 1/1/27 and we don't have the new Siri, then you can complain that it's "delayed again". Until then it's just whining about rumors.
@caseyliss “This status board is, for any reasonable human, lunacy.”
Yes. 😂
@daringfireball "I'm worried that everybody who reads Daring Fireball is going to get sick of me complaining about Mac OS 26 Tahoe."
Because you’ve long gone past constructive criticism (constructive criticism is good) and moved on to complaining, and are teetering on the edge of whining.
That your guest said he didn’t even notice something was an issue until he read about it somewhere tells me it wasn’t actually an issue for him and he’s just complaining for the sake of complaining.
