    3 Dock from Snow Leopard was the true and the only nice app from Mac Os.
    Now is just a garbage line

Jailbreak has now been dead for about three years and idk how they're going to innovate now lol The last two updates were just icons themes and icon layout tweaks sprinkled with the hope of built in AI someday. Depressing.

          ...to rename iPhone 16 to iPhone24 to match with the year but they never listened...

            Why not iOS 25. It's confusing to use next year's name beforehand

              Anonymous, 29 May 2025That’s the whole point of OS updates — new features!Feature creep exists. I understand not wanting to cut staff by giving them busywork, but the past decade of phone development has been depressing.

              Most of the "features" added to iOS/MacOS for the past decade have been useless. Only Apple apologists use things like Genmoji, Focus or the new photo album features.

              For the average person, fiddling with the UX/UI is a nuisance. Especially for older users, it just messes with their muscle and spatial memory.

They literally sell like gold. People associate them to somekind of god, so please stop the nonsense and come with something usefull. And nope i am really not an apple guy, and will never be one as i hate their behaviour and ethics! So try something more mature fGs.

                              Reading this "shocking" news from Apple from my Vivo X200 Ultra.

                                Why is the Update Jumping from iOS 18 to iOS 26? Is the number 19 to 25 a cursed number??

                                      The iOS naming scheme does not matter if innovation it minimal to none.

                                        A lot of people here get it wrong. Apple are planning to change the numbers, not the OS name. Like iOS 19 (coming soon) will change to (something) iOS 26 (year 2026 without the 20, just 26) same goes for iPad OS, instead of iPad OS 19 it will be iPad OS 26 (again, base on the year). Not changing the OS name entirely.
