🚨 Apple's OS naming is getting a major revamp!
Starting this year, Apple plans to align its operating system versions with calendar years. Say goodbye to iOS 19—hello, iOS 26!

🔁 What's changing?

iOS 19 → iOS 26

macOS 16 → macOS 26

watchOS 13 → watchOS 26

tvOS & visionOS also jump to 26.

This unifies version numbers across platforms, simplifying the ecosystem.

While I’m sure there are those who need these features more than I do, as a longtime user of Safari’s Reader Mode, I’m very glad to see this functionality coming to the Apple ecosystem. I’m sure it’ll be useful to a lot of people.

How is anyone supposed to be productive in this day of endless popular on every device. Apple ecosystem here… it’s horrible these days. Time to set aside a few hours and figure out how stop the madness. VS Code and PHPStorm are two of the worst. OS is getting horrible too.

🍏 Apple's approach to Apple Intelligence is classic Apple—it's all about keeping Siri powerful, but firmly within their ecosystem. By giving Siri direct access to apps through developer APIs instead of teaching it to use any app, Apple is playing a smart game. 🎮 Rather than making Siri a "free agent" AI that could roam across devices, this keeps Siri deeply integrated only within Apple's world. 🌐
From a user perspective, this means smooth interactions, more reliable app integration, and fewer compatibility issues. As long as you're in the Apple universe, everything feels seamlessly connected. 🌌✨ But the catch? This keeps users inside Apple's "walled garden." 🧱🍏 No straying outside if you want that full Siri functionality!
🤖 Sure, a truly universal AI, one that could interact with any device, would offer way more flexibility. But Apple’s approach means Siri’s powers grow without sacrificing control over the user experience. This strategy aligns perfectly with Apple's brand identity and its promise of security and exclusivity. 🛡️
In short, Apple’s strategy is great for #Apple and great for users—if you're happy staying within their world. 🌍💼
