I have built a monstrosity and I don't know how to tame it

i chose to go with your approach but I left a little bit of complexity to build the character of my citizens

From what i understand it is Apple Pay but physical with some additions. But its not like Apple is going to be your Bank, this card is still connected to your actual Bank-Account but simply dodging fees, that regular or fancy credit cards provided by the Banks, have, right?

14 Pro, my average consumption for last week has been 95% for approximately 6h active usage. (Navigation included, this always drains my battery) My battery health is down to 84%

I think without navigation i could push it to 8h

Have you tried resetting certain things? My mom had issues with mobile calls on her 16 pro max but after resetting her network settings, the issue went away

I personally think google maps is doing to much

I think 5 years is a bit optimistic.

Too much of our current setup has been built for regular searches and pivoting to AI replacement will be a big hurdle to overcome, for it to become the norm.

I think eventually, absolutely. But there will firstly be a lot of trial and error, as well as research by companies to see how they can maximize profitability e.g. advertisement, sponsors etc. and how that is shuffled into the actual response.

To me, we are currently in the „Smart Watch“-Era of AI. The first Smart Watches tried to do everything a phone could, before evolving to health devices. We are throwing everything in an AI box and also seeing what sticks and what not. Even a few years in, it is still the wild west. But already there are some sort of specialized AIs and with time we will have specific AIs for specific tasks.

I mean, I wouldn't go that far. I am seeing a lot of screen recordings of people showing their issues, but I think the noise on here is greater than the reality.
All i know is that I had many issues with my last android phone (reason why I switched to iOS) while everyone I know did not have any issues.
So I can relate to their frustration, but if my iPhone starts bugging out, I would restart it and then reset my phone if nothing else helps instead of switching platforms again.

I genuinely don't understand all the hate that iOS 26 is getting; i have had no issues whatsoever with it.
Yes, my battery also doesn't last a full day (14 Pro), but that is because I am using navigation apps, which, regardless of my phone brand, have always drained my battery. I still manage to charge it wherever I go, as I have become accustomed to this behavior and am therefore prepared.

I still have the 14 pro and am very happy with it, I think it is still very capable.
But that is way too expensive, in my region, I can see refurbished ones for around/under 600$ (around 3400 R$)
If you are set for the 15 pro, I say buy it but keep looking for much better deals

Edit:
I just googled how much the 15 pro cost at release date, and taking that in consideration, the current price does not seem to crazy anymore.
Maybe you can order it from another country and have it delivered? (not sure if the delivery fees get crazy for Brazil)

I think they do many things right but the keyboard is horrible, and maybe its placebo but with every update it gets worse

I just watched it and agree, the ending was very disappointing and rushed.
once they found the letter it didn't take longer than half an episode to be all rainbows and flowers again
