We've seen this before with Google Glass — and somehow, big tech has learned nothing. Let's hope Apple has, by the time they ship.The privacy nightmare of smart glassesI have spent days with the same group of people, more or less, for over six years. For some of the crew, it's been even longer. When you spend that long with the same people, inevitably, a bit of the work relationship dissolves. It's the same whether you work in the office or across the globe in the same Slack channel.For the AppleInsider staff, a lot of our "non-work" conversations are predictable. Pet pictures, vacation plans, thoughts on new movies, sharing playlists — all very run-of-the-mill things.

An anonymous reader shares a report: On the new MacOS 26 (Tahoe), Apple has mandated that all application icons fit into their prescribed squircle. No longer can icons have distinct shapes, nor even any fun frame-breaking accessories. Should an icon be so foolish as to try to have a bit of personality, it will find itself stuffed into a dingy gray icon jail. [...] While Apple had previously urged developers to use squircle icons on our apps, they've now taken things much further to ensure compliance. It's a shame. Apple updated their own app icons on Tahoe, for both the squircle shape as well as the new "Liquid Glass" interface. Mostly, these icons seem dumbed-down, with a loss of detail.

There's a recurring theme from industry watchers, repeated on Friday, that Apple Music is doomed, if Apple doesn't copy Spotify's business model. The core premise is nonsense, and the reasoning for it is ridiculous.Apple MusicIt is true that Apple Music lags far behind Spotify, even if the European Union doesn't seem to think so. It is unquestionably true that Spotify is the largest streaming player in the world, as a new Bloomberg opinion piece by Ashley Carman says.But saying, as that op-ed does, that Apple must therefore emulate Spotify is the politician's syllogism. We must do something / this is something / therefore we must do this.

Earlier this week, Bloomberg reported that Google and Apple are close to reaching a yearly $1 billion agreement for a version of the Gemini model that will power the revamped Siri next year.

Back in 2021, Apple introduced a new iPhone camera capability in the form of a new macro lens option with the ultrawide camera. It was exclusive to the Pro models until last year when it was extended across the iPhone 16 and 17 range. As a built-in feature, it’s pretty impressive, but it doesn’t come close to the razor-thin depth of field you get with a dedicated macro lens.
