Older phones that don’t support the new AI/BS features will get faster.

That explains everything there is you need to know about the AI/BS fad.

I assume that newer phones that do support the AI/BS features will get slower.

Guess you didn’t bother to read the article.

I’ve been beta testing the new iOS. You have no idea what you are talking about. This one is MUCH faster, even with the AI shit enabled.

tl;dr due to a cataclysmic event of cosmic horror time will appear to slow down in our minds, making phones appear faster

I wish they were getting rid of Liquid Glass.

Jackass 😂, oh what a stupid nerd shit thing to say 😂

I like that they tried something new even if it isn't well received, it's so rare these days.

I think that's giving them far too much credit. Design philosophies are in a pretty constant state of flux and keep resulting in new overall looks and feels.

There's no real risk taking here. We're not talking about the Sega Dreamcast or anything. We're just talking about them having terrible taste yet again.

You can turn it off

This is Reddit lemmy. Who does?

There is a perfect user interface for any app or OS. You are either moving toward it or away from it. But if you achieve it, or get close to it, you should be very careful about fucking with it.

I don’t know if you remember when Siri was first introduced to iPhoneOS. (It was still called iPhoneOS back then, when the iPhone4S was introduced.)

It replaced a feature that was either called VoiceControl or VoiceCommand, Apple have purged all historical record of the feature.

It was based on Dragon Dictate and as long as you learnt and used the correct Commands, it worked flawlessly. It was completely on device and even the anemic processor in the iPhone 3S and 4.

Then Siri was introduced and despite the significantly improved performance of chip in the 4S, it was a worse experience, especially if you had bad reception.

This AI fad began back when Nuance created Siri and while it has democratised computing, it has also made people dumber.

We used to write bash and Automator scripts that could do the complex, repetitive tasks, but they were not available for everyone (only Mac and CLI UNIX users). Even DOS Users had batch scripts!

Android, iOS and Windows have taken that away from us to make them more accessible and the replacements have been obfuscated by the computing elite. (Look at Windows PowerShell as an example).

Now, people who used to do things with pdf2txt, sed and awk have a wet dream when they tell Claude to analyse the data in a report that someone emailed them! We are getting stupider!

You can‘t go back before liquid glass styling.
