What’s the point of adding all these fancy new AI/Siri features if the Apple Watch is too stupid to use its cellular connection when needed? Apple’s paying for data centers its customers can’t connect to.

It’s deleted? What did you delete, Siri? And why is there not an undo button on a potentially destructive action????!

Displaying “Processing Payment” when downloading a free app from the App Store is such horrible UI/UX.

Someone at Engadget doesn’t know how to design a favicon. I’ll never understand why websites invest in these huge redesigns that just break everything. By the time they finish getting everything working again, they’ve started on the next unnecessary redesign.

Apple gives up on Vision Pro, disbands Vision Pro team – OSnews

If I put my Apple Watch on but forget to unlock it, it should be smart enough to tap me on the wrist and ask “Do you want to unlock your watch?” After all, it does this when it thinks you’ve started a workout.
