    iOS 26.5 “Pride” Luminance Wallpaper Collection Not Installing

    I downloaded the newly released "Pride" Luminance wallpapers collection from Apple for iOS 26.5. It's showing a ✔️ mark on the "Add New Wallpaper" page, but I can't see the actual wallpapers. I downloaded iOS 26.5 just for these wallpapers, even though I read it has battery life issues! Also...

    I have brand new MacBook Air M5 15 inch, 32 GB, 1TB. running Tahoe, 26.4.1 Everyone says: "Oh don't worry, just let the system manage memory - it is very efficient..blah blah blah". It is obviously not that great, or to say pretty horrible. Look at my screenshot of my app I am working on - and...

    iPhone Air Has  Seriously not Considered this iP Air 2 Design?

    "Apple is struggling to fit a second camera in" "Apple ran out of room for battery" "The Air's components are housed in its camera bump (stop calling it a plateau please)" "If the air got a second camera it wouldn't fit with the rest of the lineup's design language" Are we serious that apple...

    MP All Models Apple killed the Mac Pro on purpose

    So this is something I've been thinking about for a while now, and my theory was proven right by Apple's decision to discontinue the Mac Pro. In 2013, Apple released the trashcan Mac Pro, a machine that's now loved by enthusiasts, but back then every professional hated the thing. And for a...

    What was your favourite period of Apple marketing?

    An unusual topic perhaps, but sparked by a realisation of just how different Apple's approach to marketing is today. I have a soft spot for the early days of Mac 128k, with the very clear focus on how the user experience was so different to the rest of the market. It made the hardware look like...

    Let's honestly talk about current iOS state (coming from OCD person hah)

    TL;DR I’m a bit of a perfectionist so perhaps I’m being overly sensitive but are others experiencing these micro-stutters and audio pops on iOS 26? I’m using an iPhone 17 Pro Max and for the price the random lag in Safari and social media, along with clicking sounds in the Music app, are really...

    Is Apple risking an IBM-style strategic misstep in AI?

    This is an examination of Apple’s current posture toward the incoming artificial intelligence (AI) revolution per a specific historical lens: IBM at the outset of the personal computing revolution. In the iconic Super Bowl commercial aired 42 years ago, Apple’s “1984” hammer soared high...

    Anyone else having issues with their iPhone (13 Pro Max 1TB Black) - iPhone starting to age out or trip

    It seems like my iPhone is getting tired or something. This week, three days ago, when I charged my iPhone at work to 76% around noon, the iPhone did its thing where you enter a passcode (usually like how you restart it), and the touch screen was entirely unresponsive. I could not unlock it, I...

    iPad Air I started off the new year with a new iPad Air M3, 13"

    Hey all, I'm happy to be telling everyone that I decided to finally upgrade my old 16 GB iPad Air 2, to the iPad Air M3, 13" 128GB after the iPad Air has pretty much been useless for the past 5, or so years, when 16GB wasn't enough, even for a basic consumption device. My main uses for the...

    FastVLM? Has Apple made secret AI achievement?

    I just clicked some recomeded video about news in AI and was pretty surprised they praise Apple there for their research on FastVLM Fast Video Language Model. I never heard about it and I follow MR daily. So here it is. It speeds up some operations up to 85x.
