macOS and iOS 27

Nothing blew up. Yet.

However, Apple continues to perpetrate unspeakable design crimes upon the Preview app icon, and the much-heralded Spotlight “priming” that was supposed to happen in the last iOS 26 update apparently did nothing, because my iPhone is still indexing.

And, yes, is still there. I don’t care about how many sliders they put in, every time I see that I am reminded that if they needed to add it, they blew it.

The only notable thing so far is that our long international horror of seems to be over, although I suspect there will be some rough edges (ha!) someplace.

Plus, of course, living in the EU, I have almost exactly zero new AI features on my devices. I suspect the Siri AI waiting list will never let me in and is there just for show.

I would have loved to finally have decent voices in Siri, though, as well as proper Continental Portuguese language support throughout–and why is there still no Scottish-accented Siri? That would have been a hoot.
