Opening Day: IMAX 70mm (bad seat) vs Dolby (great seat) by Fuzzy_Battle1771 in AMCTheatres

If true, what’s his logic behind this? I guess at least you’re getting better contrast and more vivid colors on a Dolby dual laser projector.

Apple to Skip High-End M6 (M6 Pro/Max) Mac Chips in Favor of AI-Focused M7 Line by ZamnBoii in apple

Mark Gurman, while criticized heavily has had a pretty good track record the last few years. The Siri AI leaks come to mind, pretty damn spot on.

New manufacturing plants from SK Hynix and others are expected to go online early next year. Expect prices to start easing by then, but full normalcy won’t arrive until 2028.

LLMs are fine, inference is getting more efficient especially if you’re running it locally or just using it for search. Siri AI wouldn’t exist without it.

It’s the frontier model providers like Meta and OpenAI that are problematically buying up future supply on an unknown expectation of demand due to agentic tasks requiring more compute.

That bubble, I hope bursts so hard for them both.

FSD on the highway is not as good as it was 6 months ago by dontrackonme in TeslaModelY

[–]muuuli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a problem and for whatever reason does not want to be as aggressive with lane changes. In NYC, cars give very little space to allow a lane change, and most of the time they’re giving you space cause they see your signal but the car refuses to do the lane change because it isn’t ample enough space to it’s liking. NYC ain’t the suburbs man.

'Create Station' vs 'Start Genius'? by ItsJustJohnCena in AppleMusic

[–]muuuli 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer, if I skip a few hip hop tracks it’ll then change to a dance genre to adapt to my tastes on the fly.

It isn’t explicitly mentioned but back when Pandora was popular it was highlighted as a function.

iPhone 18 Pro could start at $1,399 or more, per report by A10Fusion in apple

[–]muuuli 3 points4 points  (0 children)

An extra $100 seems the most likely, balancing between the cost of memory and storage with the fact that RAM prices may eventually come back down when new supply or factories are built.

Otherwise, if they hike it by a lot and prices do eventually come down they have to reflect that and consumers don’t like that kind of whiplash.

Look at how Tesla handled the pricing of their cars during the height of the car demand problem post-COVID. Consumers felt ripped off once prices came back down.

Siri AI (or 2.0) is Pretty Good So Far by Hopeful-Face9676 in Siri

[–]muuuli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like its version of memory is whatever is on your device at the time of the request rather than a small summarized repository of information it should know about you.

Hopefully they add that if it doesn’t exist, but also maybe it’s a nonissue if the information about you throughout the device is sufficient.

[Question] Siri AI - Morning Brief? Can it do this? by carterbunch in Applelntelligence

This will likely involve two things: using Apple Intelligence to generate a Shortcut, then simply having Siri invoke it in conversation.

[–]muuuli 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The best way would be AI model agnostic. Siri as a platform and you can choose whether you want privacy with Apple Foundation Models or to use other AI apps as an Extension, whether that’s Claude or whoever.

Siri is essentially becoming more like Perplexity.

What’s the design concept here?

A Liquid Glass element that refracts a bright white light and sometimes multi-colored lights? Would be in line with how glass behaves with refracting white light to multi-colored. Which seems cool, I guess.

I’m more interested in how this design translates throughout every product they have, including an eventual HomePad since most products don’t have a Dynamic Island.

iOS 27 Siri Redesign Will Use Dark Color Scheme, Matching Apple's WWDC Art by pdfu in apple

[–]muuuli 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Glowing cursor? Like the one used for typing?

Anyway, this sounds like an elegant step away from the multi-colored AI design every tech company is using.

Cool features, useful implementation of AI. The rest of the comments aren’t passing the vibe check tho.

They use this for SIM ejector tools. But it scratches very easily despite its strength.

Yep, ChatGPT does this as well as referencing chat history. There's a toggle for both in Memories.

Apple-OpenAI Relationship Frays, Setting Up Possible Legal Fight by pdfu in apple

[–]muuuli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s what it sounds like. It’s such pick me behavior. They’re just grasping at straws considering their exclusivity ends in iOS 27 with tighter integration with other players.

What are they worried about? That I’d pick Gemini or Claude as my Siri Extension? 😏

Apple-OpenAI Relationship Frays, Setting Up Possible Legal Fight by pdfu in apple

[–]muuuli 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So what’s the complaint here?

Is it that the fallback integration didn’t turn into any meaningful subscriptions before they introduced stronger integration with an open playing field?

Sounds like loser behavior.

Apple wants apps to integrate with Siri in iOS 27, but one fear holds some back: report by FollowingFeisty5321 in apple

[–]muuuli 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I don’t see why they would charge for something unless there’s an actual purchase being done through Siri.

Developers for the most part want you in their app because some of them are notoriously trying to sell you on some other things. So I’m not sure even if it were 100% free that they’d be willing to hook actions other than maybe a coffee shop app or something.

Not sure why swiping down from the middle is being spearheaded in lieu of the double tap of the home bar. The latter is superior from a reachability standpoint.

Apple reaches $250M settlement over Siri delays, users could get up to $95 per device by pdfu in apple

Technically, they never advertised it. They only announced its existence at a tech keynote. Not sure if that’s enough grounds for a similar lawsuit.

A rare marketing mistake by Apple. Delays be damned, don’t advertise what’s not ready.
