If Siri does what Apple said in today's announcement, it will

Posted by doubledown User icon on September 9, 2026, 14:00:00

finally mostly do what they announced that it would do when they launched it 15 years ago.

Also, there are new iPhones that are slightly better than the ones from last year.

I might upgrade. My battery is getting a little tired.

In all the discussion here about the Apple event, didn’t see anybody mention the WORST thing showed.

So gross and wrong

With Audio Intelligence, Apple is expanding the passive surveillance state that we're steadily constructing around us in the form of individually carried GPS trackers, police-compliant doorbell cameras, always-on smart earbuds and fashionable recording devices. However, Audio Intelligence is also poised to be another useful tool for people living with hearing loss or other disabilities, and it's wonderful to see the accessibility space continue to evolve. It's like the song says: You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have the Apple Watch Series 12 with Audio Intelligence.

Still running with my 11S and think it's on its last leg. Not sure if I should go 17Pro or 18.*

are foldable phones feasible, or is this just the mobile version of 3d tv?

the manufacturers sure don't seem to want to shut the fuck up about them, and that fact alone makes me think it's the latter

I haven't looked into this, but I'm curious about how well the screens hold up over time

ie, does the crease become more noticeable in 6 months? 1 year? 2 years?

Why do you hate me, Sammich?

Samsung has been making them for like five years. My friend has one and he really likes it.

Posted by ATL User icon on September 10, 2026, 06:31:27, in reply to "are foldable phones feasible, or is this just the mobile version of 3d tv?"

His does not have this form factor, which is in the latest Samsung phone as well. That makes sense because this phone uses that same screen as the Samsung phone. The foldable phone that my friend has didn’t seem to offer any kind of advantage over a large regular size phone, other than it folds up small, but thick.

New Samsung: https://www.samsung.com/us/smartphones/galaxy-z-fold8/

This one seems to have a few more advantages, and the changes they’ve made to the user interface to accommodate a folding phone seem really neat. They may have made similar changes to android to accommodate the folding phones, but I don’t know anything about them.
