Google Messages is finally fixing something that should've been fixed years ago 💀

new redesign test:

floating menu under the message you long-press
Material 3 elements
decluttered chat window

one-handed usability in 2026

better late than never I guess 🤷‍♂️

Many iphone 18 pro users are reporting these issues ,
#iphone18pro #apple #issue

[I Hate Apple @iHateApplee]

iPhone 18 Pro randomly reboots after Face ID scan.
iOS 27 is full of stupid bugs.

[Muhammed Althaf @X8Proo]

and the iPhone Duo isn't even out yet 💀

Face ID failing + freezing + rebooting on the 18 Pro?

Apple better fix this before they drop a $1,999 foldable

can't have both things breaking at once

[Apple Cycle @theapplecycle]

Some iPhone 18 Pro users are experiencing Face ID issues.

Face ID fails during actions like unlocking apps, causing the iPhone to freeze and reboot.

[Muhammed Althaf @X8Proo]

a week delay is nothing in the grand scheme of things

rather have a stable One UI 9 than a buggy mess on day one

take your time Samsung 👍

[Muhammed Althaf @X8Proo]

Samsung just quietly delayed the Galaxy S26 Android 17 update 📉

new global rollout date: September 28, 2026
(was supposed to be September 21)

why?

• fixing last-minute bugs
• polishing performance
• ensuring a stable global release

better to delay it than rush a buggy update 🤝

the crazy part?

Xiaomi is a phone company

and they just dropped a model that beats most AI startups

2026 is wild

[Muhammed Althaf @X8Proo]

Xiaomi just dropped MiMo-V2.6-Pro and it's sitting at the top !

• #46 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index
• world's top open-weights model
• 1.02 trillion parameters
• MIT license
• available on Hugging Face

it passed GLM-5.3 and Kimi K3 to get there

Xiaomi isn't just making phones anymore 🔥

[Muhammed Althaf @X8Proo]

small features like this are what make an app feel polished

not flashy AI stuff
just making the daily stuff faster

more of this please

[Muhammed Althaf @X8Proo]

Gmail just made 2FA way easier !

new "Copy code" shortcut:

when a verification email arrives, Gmail detects the security code and shows a pill-shaped "Copy code: XXXXXX" button

right below the subject line in your inbox

no more opening the email, no more selecting the code

tiny feature. huge time saver 👏

#Gmail #Google #2FA

[Muhammed Althaf @X8Proo]

for anyone asking: it's built on the Strands Agents SDK

so if you're already using that, this is basically a preconfigured control layer on top

way less setup work

[Muhammed Althaf @X8Proo]

AWS just dropped Strands Harness 🔥

open-source AI agent framework
Apache 2.0 license

what you get:

🧠 Model agnostic — swap Bedrock, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or local models with one line

🛠️ Built-in tools — shell access, file editing, memory, web search, multi-agent delegation

💻 Run it locally or in the cloud

no lock-in. no heavy setup.

also where's the foldable? 👀

7 products and not one of them is the iPhone Duo

Apple is saving it for 2027 for sure

[Muhammed Althaf @X8Proo]

Apple is planning 7 new products in October

• iPad mini
• iMac
• MacBook Pro
• MacBook Ultra
• Apple TV
• HomePod mini
• Home Hub

so basically… minor spec bumps and a new HomePod?

wake me up when the foldable drops 💀

#Apple #iPadMini #MacBookPro

[Muhammed Althaf @X8Proo]

Very true , it's cheap as hell, and looks worser , not worthy for that price
Mac always delivers masterpiece.

[Adan @itsdurreadan]

I wish iOS wallpapers were as good as macOS wallpapers.

macOS has literally the best desktop wallpapers; tons of live aerial shots. Each one breathtaking.

While iOS has... some cheap graphics you can get from Fiverr for $5.

[Muhammed Althaf @X8Proo]

@chrissheath fair points honestly

but let's be real, the production issues are already showing

60% yield rates and only 6M units

Apple might be delaying it to fix these exact problems

better to wait than release a half-baked foldable

[Muhammed Althaf @X8Proo]

the iPad mini getting an A19 Pro or A20 Pro while the MacBook Pro gets the M6 is wild

Apple's naming team needs a vacation 😂

[Muhammed Althaf @X8Proo]

the model agnostic part is the real flex

one line and you're on Ollama or LiteLLM

no lock-in 🤝

[Muhammed Althaf @X8Proo]

the best part?

it shows up right in the inbox view

you don't even have to open the email anymore

Google finally did something right 😂

[Muhammed Althaf @X8Proo]

@BoehmeMargarete Right I'm impressed too
