Over 10 new features coming in iOS 27

A smarter Siri 🧠 I’m excited, but also a little skeptical 🧐🤭😝 – let’s hope the many delays and the collaboration with Google end up being a pleasant surprise, and Apple can keep up in ‘the AI game’ 💯⚡️🤖🦾

iOS 27 is set to pack 10+ new features, with Apple aiming to make the iPhone smarter, slicker, and more useful. Expect meaningful upgrades across the system—not just cosmetic tweaks.

John Ternus is rumored to be Apple’s next top boss

Happy 65th birthday, Tim Cook, you old rascal. There are lots of rumors that Apple is internally planning Tim Cook’s departure, and that John will take over... It’s going to be exciting...

Apple’s CEO succession race has a frontrunner: John Ternus, Apple’s 50-year-old hardware chief. With Tim Cook nearing 65 and Jeff Williams stepping aside, insiders increasingly see Ternus as the heir apparent.

Weak sales delay the next generation of iPhone Air

Sorry Apple, but unfortunately I saw it coming... Air should have been a cheap, small iPhone, like when Apple launched the iPod nano - a super-thin mini version of the big iPod at a cheaper price. If the iPhone Air had been a cheap, mini-super-thin version of the iPhone, I think it would have sold much better 🤪🤓

iPhone Air isn’t taking off: weak sales reportedly pushed Apple to delay the next-gen model. The ultra-thin gamble may be losing altitude fast.

OpenAI buys the creators of Shortcuts for deep Mac integration

New Siri vs. OpenAI Agents. If anyone can build slick 3rd-party OS integrations in the Apple universe, it’s Kramer and Weinstein. Exciting to see what they end up building together with OpenAI 🤓 I’m keeping a close eye on it and will report back here on the blog 📝

OpenAI bought the team behind Apple’s Shortcuts, signaling a big push to make ChatGPT feel deeply native on the Mac. Expect smarter automation, tighter system hooks, and a more powerful desktop AI experience.

Apple might skip iPhone 19 and jump straight to XX

We just went from iOS 18 to iOS 26 and skipped iOS 19, so why not skip iPhone 19 too… I’m thinking an iPhone XX sounds better 🥳😅🤪 (The Roman numeral for 20 is XX. That’s because X represents 10, and when you put two X’s together (10+10), you get 20.)

Apple may ditch the iPhone 19 name and jump straight to iPhone 20. It’s a flashy rebrand play that could make the next launch feel bigger than ever.

MacBook Pro M5: Powerful, but worth waiting for

I think I’ll wait until next year, when there are rumored to be major updates to the MacBook Pro platform, even though my MacBook Pro M2 Max 1 TB is starting to show its age, especially the battery… 🪫 surely it can make it… just 1 more year 😅

MacBook Pro M5 (2025) delivers surprisingly strong all-round performance, solid battery life and classic sleek Apple polish. Great buy at S$2,199—unless pricey RAM/storage upgrades and fingerprint-prone black bug you.
