That makes you think how powerful is the chess lobby.

Please go enjoy it for everyone’s sake. There needs to be someone, somewhere appreciating its perpetual existence.

We need to know!

I'd trace back the war on user agency when they broke the promise of a cellphone power button.

Yes I live every day with a deep hatred of Not being able to delete Apple News and Music. Annoying AF.

Yep this has OKR-pilled PMs’ fingerprints all over it

Did you read Something Is Rotten In the State of Cupertino? daringfireball.net/2025/03/some... Evidence abounds.

need a 😭 reaction

I wish it was. But even I don't have the design skills to mimic this kind of elite work.

Yes. But also I absolutely don't want macOS to start showing me ad banners about genmojis.

Not surprised at all. Apple produces quite decent technology with an absolutely terrible UX and UI. Last years were basically duck taping everything. Not sure if they still have designers...

Apple User Interface guidelines used to be the gold standard. Maybe they should — oh I don't know — use them.

now that's just desperate, Apple really flailing out here

Wtf, you pay the Apple premium not to have to deal with these kind of cheap UX dark patterns.

Congrats you found the ADs lol 😅

those STILL keep sneaking into my wife’s music library despite being deleted repeatedly.

Settings app has been terrible even before this forced AI bullshit.

(...or a Tips app)

What’s the Tips app for anyway

This and similar force-feeding should be called gavage.

How does Apple of all companies not see what a Microsoft move this is.

Enshittification

Can't wait to watch this grow to a list of useless spam now that the floodgates are open. Can totally see a PM saying "We have a notification about software updates up there. Let's throw more in."

I like "ontological universe" :-)

Insane how much Apple is scrambling, I just feel like if they did nothing about "AI" it wouldn't affect them at all, I don't think most people like MS forcing Copilot on them, and now Android allows you to use ChatGPT as your assistant. Apple should just have made it easy to integrate 3P models

The setting was vibe coded

Someone is gobbling all the marshmallows, though in this case "prime navbar real estate" instead of notifications blog.jim-nielsen.com/2025/notific...
