2018 iPad Pro deserved a better final update. Leaving it on iPadOS 26 is brutal, not because it lacks new features, but because it’s incredibly buggy and slow compared to iPadOS 27.
2020 Model gets iPadOS 27 despite having the exact same chip. The only real difference is 2GB more RAM, but that’s a weak excuse since iPadOS 27 supports other older devices with even less memory.
There is absolutely no technical limitation here. I know the 2018 model is old and had a great run, but leaving such a capable device stranded on a terrible, unoptimized version of software is just SAD.
Pride month is the best time to release and read this Iceman issue but Luciano Vecchio downplays the character, the design looks cartoonish and the storyline weak. I do like that Bobby is an omega gay now. #iceman 🏳️🌈
@dcassus Você já foi a Manchester. Fomos ano passado e aquela rua gay Canal Street não precisa nem de cenografia. O bar mudou o nome mas visitamos todos os lugares! Estou de cara! Queria binge mas acordo cedo amanhã!
@dcassus Você assou com legenda! Aqui peguei na fonte sem nenhuma legenda. Cabeça fritando com alguns sotaques do norte. Marido pausou pra me contextualizar duas vezes. O sotaque escocês do Alan está mais leve aqui.
EXCLUSIVE: Apple and the EU are telling very different stories on Siri AI, and right now, it's a standoff.
Apple's press release and comments to @LelloucheNico say the DMA would force it to give rival assistants deep access to messages, files, photos, app actions, and personal context, creating privacy/security risks.
I reached out to the EU Commission for comment, and they discussed it today (video below).
They said nothing in the DMA blocks Siri AI. Apple can launch it if it complies, but it must give rivals "equivalent access" and can’t use iOS to favour its own AI.
Apple proposed a “Trusted System Agent” and an 18-month rollout to ensure only approved third-party agents could run. The Commission says they weren't "DMA-compliant interoperability proposals."
Whatever that means.
This is a standoff over who controls the AI layer on iPhone. The EU isn’t protecting user choice here. It’s trying to regulate the iPhone’s AI layer, and EU users are the ones losing out.
iPhone users can already download ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Perplexity. Apps like @poppysimplified can use your Mac to get system-level access for AI assistant apps.
The EU is demanding default, system-level access for any third-party app that claims to be an AI assistant. Which is dangerous, especially given Apple's privacy-focused AI stance. Apple, respectably, is not bowing down.
@dcassus Parece que esse é o corte mais agressivo que vi a Apple fazer, ever! Não lembro tantos aparelhos ficarem de fora de uma só vez assim, e ainda sim, manter o iPhone 11… faz sentido?
@dcassus Mas ainda sim tem função que não está liberada aqui. O Mirrorning do iPhone no Mac existe na encolha, o app desapareceu pra mim depois de uns dias e só aparece quando forço uma notificação do celular.
