Yesterday evening I unceremoniously and sadly deleted, one by one, every app every photo every video and every document - all data from icloud - using a lovely pink iPad Mini.

The day before was the same, for several iphones, then a purged Apple Watch too. The laptops were before, long ago. My favorite was the 1Ghz Titanium G4 PowerBook - I'll always miss that perfection.

So, goodbye to modern Apple Inc. I loved your ways and means, your engineering prowess, industrial design, and the inspiration in every direction offered over so many decades.

I'm keeping the water-cooled Quad Core G5 PowerMac (PPC64 970MP A1177). You can attempt to pry it from my cold dead hands alongside a GP101... but please do not touch that one last, beautiful, and forever best example of IBM + Apple innovation - before Apple leadership sold out to Intel, pushed upon every emacs user the worthless Touchbar, and the scissor-chicklet keyboards with a lawsuit. But never forget Liquidass, crowning achievement and example of Apple's downfall.

How sad; sorry about your demise, Apple. I'll miss who you once were.

Apple executives have long discussed how to slow innovation, or outright regress features, to get their customers to pay more for less.
The iPhone Air is the realization of that greed.

Please confirm for me that there’s no longer a way to create a smart albums in Apple Photos by each of the cameras you have on your phone. I’m trying to make one to see how many 5X shots I took on the iPhone 16 Pro, but using Lens as a filter, it doesn’t show 120mm or Telephoto as an option. I hope I’m wrong and there IS a way.

The good:
- The icons finally look good

The bad:
- Apps that haven't yet adopted the new style look awful
- Widgets look terrible with their borders

BTW
there is no reason you shouldn’t have full access to your #computers. there is also no reason whatsoever you shouldn’t install software you’ve developed or is developed by sources you vetted and trust.

this is a post about the (micro)computers in your pockets and purses that are marketed under the moniker of “smart phone”.

don’t matter if it’s an #iOS#iPhone or an #Android#Pixel: they’re #microcomputers.

we should have full access to and use of their hardware & operating systems.

Otherwise, all the range looks just as boring and tired as many many other phones in the industry.

When will be get back to people trying the wildest shit?!

Gerne teilen. Danke fuer euren Support 🙏

The iPhone Air is Apple becoming satire of itself.

Cook bending the knee to Trump, iOS 26 being an unmitigated train wreck, Apple trying and failing to cram AI features nobody wants in their phones, and now a thinner phone nobody asked for and that’s going to bend or slip form your hands.

What on Earth is happening at Apple?

Can we just shake it off?

New #Pixel phones cost as much as an #Apple#iPhone.

Google really wants to get rid of any USP they've created.

Well, then there's no reason for not switching to the golden cage of #iOS.

This is very shortsighted. 🤦
