This iOS 26 change could make it Apple’s most surprising update yet

9to5mac.com Chance Miller 2026-03-09 20:15:00

With iOS 26, Apple has made a key strategy shift: it’s no longer pre-announcing major new features that won’t be available for months to come. Here’s why I think that’s a great decision by Apple, and why it could make for an exciting 12 months. The iOS 26 strategy shift Apple’s change in strategy was clearly driven by what happened at WWDC 2024 and during the subsequent iOS 18 cycle.

Meta offered Apple’s head of foundation models more than $200M to jump ship

Earlier this week, Ruoming Pang, the executive who until recently led Apple’s AI models team, left the company to join Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta Superintelligence Labs, or MSL. Now, as reported by Bloomberg, we know just what it took to lure him away. An offer Pang couldn’t refuse (and that Apple couldn’t match) According to the report, Meta offered Pang one of the largest packages seen (yet) in the AI brain-poaching wars, with the promise of more than $200 million spread out over multiple years.

Memory-Level Parallelism: Apple M2 vs. Apple M4

The Apple M2, introduced in 2022, and the Apple M4, launched in 2024, are both ARM-based system-on-chip (SoC) designs featuring unified memory architecture. That is, they use the same memory for both graphics (GPU) and main computations (CPU). The M2 processor relies on LPDDR5 memory whereas the M4 relies on LPDDR5X which should provide slightly more bandwidth. The exact bandwidth you get from an Apple system depends on your configuration.

The Death of Partying in the USA and Why It Matters

In January, The Atlantic's Ellen Cushing published an essay with an admirably blunt title: “Americans Need to Party More.” Burrowing into the appendix tables of the American Time Use Survey, she unearthed the fact that just 4.1 percent of Americans said they “attended or hosted” a party or ceremony on a typical weekend or holiday in 2023. In other words, in any given weekend, just one in 25 US households had plans to attend a social event. The ATUS is a government questionnaire that asks a larg
