DESCRIPTION: A space for anyone who uses Apple products, appreciates what they get right, and wants to talk plainly about what they don’t. This is a friendly place for healthy criticism. You don’t have to love the company. You don’t have to hate it either. If you want honest discussion about Apple hardware, software, ecosystem choices, design decisions, frustrations, or pleasant surprises, you’re welcome here.

RULES: This is a place for:

Thoughtful critique, real-world experience, and respectful disagreement
Sharing tips, solutions, workarounds, and overlooked features
Questioning decisions without turning everything into a complaint thread
Welcoming users at any level of experience or enthusiasm

This is not a place for:

Trolling, pile-ons, or knee-jerk negativity
Brand loyalty debates
Personal attacks, sarcasm aimed at other users, or rhetorical grandstanding
Gatekeeping based on technical skill, platform history, or product ownership
Derogatory references to cults or fanboyism. I don’t actually believe those things really exist anymore. If you wanna talk about them in a historical context, that’s totally fine.

You use Apple. You think about it. (Maybe you think different). That’s all it takes to participate here.

I was only telling my wife today that I am nearing moving to apple as a result of their AI approach.

Too much outsourcing and third parties involved in android implemtations. I dont have data security with them, I'd hope they implement this well.

Their approach may be correct, but their execution is appallingly terrible. I have not once had a successful interaction with Apple AI. The majority of the time I activate it, it’s by accident, and when I do try to activate it on purpose, I usually fail.

It is going to take a long time to integrate siri with an external model.

Even Google took a long time to replace Google Assistant with Gemini.

Looks like we might not see a new Siri in "the coming year".

And Gemini has turned out swimmingly as I understand it 🙄.
