I find CF's takes to be tepid at best on most subjects. "Resigns" lol - the man freaking retired, he's 65.

I got a "bug fix" iOS update yesterday, maybe just an unrelated coincidence. My iPhone seems to be working as expected, but now I am afraid to fully turn it off again.

It was off and I tried to turn it on. First it wouldn't start, then it said it needed recovery so tried that, and recovery failed.

WTF is the home hub? I did not know they made such a thing.

I believe that’s just a rumor. The image I posted does say “coming in 2026”. I suppose the next event is WWDC, usually that’s around June I believe. They should also announce desktop Macs there.
