Ron Gilbert (GrumpyGamer)I need complete silence when I work. I don't think I could ever work in an office again. Last time I worked in an office was 2013.

Simon B. StøvringAnd before anyone says, “but it’s all the EU’s fault that Apple can’t ship the software in the EU”:
I don’t really buy into that. Apple could build their products in a way that they can be shipped in the EU. They choose not to.
And they're free to do it that way. It's just a pity.
Steve Troughton-SmithApple was once convinced the future of computing was 'apps', so iPad was designed married to that idea. But we're 16 years on now, and the present of computing is AI, and IDEs, command lines and virtualization, and Python, and git, and scripting and automation. iPad risks being completely left behind as a computing platform by not supporting any of that stuff properly, and developer interest has been waning for years now. It's well past time for iPad to get its shit together, and open up
“If Claude Code is so good I don’t get why they don’t prove it by using it to make an even halfway decent native Mac app.”
Indeed…

Some good news: I don't know if Apple had a change of heart or what, but you *can* enable Xcode's intelligence features on the MacBook Neo with 8GB RAM, including ChatGPT and Codex support. Previously, this was limited to 16GB devices — I have no idea when that switch happened? 😯
Regardless, great move, clearly intended for this device
The MacBook Neo essentially acknowledges that the iPad, as a low-end computer device, failed. Instead of integrating macOS into the iPad, they opted to incorporate the iPad’s hardware into a MacBook.
Manton ReeceMark Gurman reports that the new Siri is delayed again, from iOS 26.4 next month to 26.5 or later:
"As recently as late 2025, internal versions of the new Siri were so sluggish that people involved in development believed the company would need to delay the introduction by months."
Apple is very set in their old processes and release cycles. But OpenAI ships major new features multiple times a month. I don’t see how Apple can be competitive in AI unless they rethink how they work and release software.
Tony ArnoldI have spent my career leaning on Apple's excellent design chops when building my own apps.
Now they've broken the design language of their operating systems so badly that it's not possible to build excellent, bug free user experiences.
I've lost a north star here, and it's heartbreaking because there's no real way for them to turn this around for a very long time.
