Couldn’t agree more. Great write-up!

Over 4k web developers participated in the survey. Tons of interesting insights regarding AI / IDE / model usage.

impressive...can't wait for OpenAI to make their image gen faster tough

Apple feels stuck. Only incremental improvements, no real innovation, no risk... Also, some improvements turned out to be real bad.

Really considering switching from iPhone this year. Been using iPhones since 3G.

Just curious, what problem do I need to have that they'll solve for me?

Who wants fluent conversations with AI to get help for realtime translations or location based information (e.g. when traveling)? Who wants to delegate tasks to AI so it can help work with everyday productivity tools like calendar, emails, etc.

I understand that some of the stuff is not there yet. But dismissing an emerging technology as useless baby stuff? Reminds me of what people were saying of web, web 2.0, etc. My productivity has taken giant leaps since two years, probably because I'm willing to regularly invest some time into understanding & exploring which workflows can be optimised. It might actually not be trivial, and even some AI companies are not able to showcase their tech in realistic problem solving scenarios. But it's there.

Apple is just really really bad at this atm. Their leadership has transformed the company into a mindset of mirco-optimisations, no more taking risks etc.

It was Cursor six months ago, VC with Copilot three months ago, and currently it's Windsurf / Cursor. Copilot is lagging with features, it used to be Chat & Compose, now it's Agents and MCP stuff that's missing. But once it's in there, it just seems more robust and better integrated with everything imo.

It actually is. The trick is to be in charge of architecture and scope. But this is not a 100% AI build like stated in the article.

That's today. What about tomorrow?
