Apple kicked off its recent wave of product announcements on August 25, when it introduced a new Mac mini with M6 and M5 Pro chips, a new Mac Studio with M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips, and an updated version of the Apple Polishing Cloth.

In the mid–1990s, Apple worked on an operating system called Copland, which was announced but never commercially released because of project management issues and feature creep. Parts of Copland were eventually included in Mac OS 7.6 and Mac OS 8, but it was so problematic as a whole that Apple nixed it before it was finished.


Michael Steil, who works to reverse engineer vintage hardware and software, was recently able to get Copland running in emulation. He modified the open-source Power Mac emulator DingusPPC, and he said it took 11 patches to get Copland up and running. He has a browser version of Copland you can try on his website, and shared the patches needed to boot Copland.

During Copland's development, Apple released three beta versions. The last beta was D11E4, which is what Steil got to work. He said Copland is "notoriously hard to run on real hardware," and wasn't previously available in emulation.

After Apple canceled Copland in August 1996, it looked outside the company for a new operating system. That led to the purchase of NeXT in 1997 and the return of Steve Jobs. NeXTSTEP, NeXT's operating system, was the precursor to Mac OS X.

Ignorieren wir den „Hand strap“ für die QuickTake 200, dann sind der iPod touch Loop sowie die Remote Loop die einzigen Bänder fürs Handgelenk aus Apples 50-jähriger Geschichte – zumindest bis letzte Woche.

Apples neues Handgelenk Band befestigt man an einer separaten iPhone-Hülle oder etwa direkt am AirPods-Case¹. Es orientiert sich am Design des Crossbody Straps aus dem letzten Jahr.

Ich wette, Apples Marge für das 30-Euro-Bändchen stimmt. Trotzdem bleibt der flache Knopf am eng gewebten Garn mit integrierten Magneten erstaunlich nett.

Meine einzige Kritik: Es ist eine relativ dauerhafte Befestigung. Die Handschlaufe lässt sich einfach lösen, die Befestigungsschlaufen fummelt man aber nur mit etwas Aufwand wieder raus.

1. Als Apple im Jahr 2022 die Öse am Kopfhörer-Case einführte, überließ der Konzern den Zubehörverkauf anderen Herstellern so wie Incase.

Vier Monate später trugen sich mehr Kleinigkeiten zusammen; iOS 27 ist ein Trog mit vielen kleinen „Quality of Life“-Verbesserungen.

Die Zusammenstellung dieser unscheinbaren Änderungen in jedem Sommer führt regelmäßig zu meinen absoluten Lieblingsvideos.

Hier das Intro der Episode:

Ohne Spracheingabe bestand am iPhone nie die Möglichkeit, Spotlight außerhalb des Home- und Sperrbildschirms aufzurufen. Mit Siri AI geht das jetzt – nur nicht bei uns.

Wenn wir über fehlende Funktionen für iOS 27 in der EU sprechen, fehlt mir insbesondere diese Interaktion.

Spotlight, as you know it, is gone in iOS 27. Swiping down from the middle of the Home Screen now opens Search or Ask, where you can type or speak to Siri. Apple rebuilt the underlying search index at the same time, so returned results are more current.

Für iPadOS existiert ein solcher Hack; fürs iPhone nicht. Apples Telefon benutzt sich signifikant besser, wenn man Spotlight auch aus geöffneten Apps heraus aufrufen kann.
