Looked at a lot more Apple files, and they are quite underwhelming tbh. Everything is basically related to the Matterhorn/Zurich server project circa 2022.
Leaked documents may be tip of the iceberg in Foxconn hack, as only Apple server schematics have been shared so far. More damaging documents may come later.

Terrible WWDC this year. Siri upgrades that are two years late, generative fill in Photos, and backpedaling on photorealism in Image Playground.
Thatโs about it. No cool features.
And wtf is that wallpaper. It looks like the one they shipped with the iPhone 15 Pro.
Every PR spam email is just this:
Hi Reinette,
[statement thatโs supposed to catch my attention but never does]
Iโm with [random PR company] reaching out on behalf of [generic AI startup].
Expert analyst [guy youโve never heard of] has found that [useless statistic].
AI/aftermarket garbage:
- The 3 SIM card slots are all different
- The black/blue cases are the same image recolored (note the screws)
- Apple suppliers do not use zip-lock bags for stuff like this
- Weird Chinese text that is not a prototype engraving, never seen that before
The account "MajinBuofficia" is an impostor, they are impersonating a former leaker account that has since retired. Everything they post is engagement bait with false or outdated information. Take everything they post with a grain of salt.
These are bootlegs and not genuine prototypes. Another telltale sign is the fact that they appear to have manuals. It makes no sense to produce customer-facing materials like packaging and manuals for a prototype when the functions and designs aren't even finalised.
Microsoftโs Project Solara is even worse.
Have tech companies really learned nothing from the failures of the Humane AI Pin and Rabbit R1?
AI is fine as an auxiliary tool for existing platforms. Nobody needs a second phone-like thing on a lanyard, or an AI pin.
AI feels like itโs moving in the wrong direction.
Google i/o was a snooze fest that focused on automating human-to-human interaction & shoving AI into it.
Replacing essential skills and independent thoughts with AI is asinine. Find your own hobbies, write your own emails.
Smart glasses are the only thing that might be vaguely useful as an AI-themed device. It adapts an existing accessory with on-screen directions & messages
I wouldnโt trust AI with running your life in either case. Alternatively, you can โtrust but verify,โ tho moderation is key.

As a reminder, this details a new sample of Apple files, uploaded about a week after the FX attack.
I have yet to see anyone else look into it with this degree of confidence.

iPad 1 iOS 7 has finally been fixed.
Huge thanks to Amy (asentientbot) & Nicole for fixing a ton of issues.
Supports only macOS and restores to iOS 7.1.2 only at the moment.
eta now: github.com/amy-and-nicole/ipโฆ (this is not my own repo btw)
An extremely rare EVT stage iPhone 15 Pro. This is one of the best unit's in my collection due to the hardware differences and it being a full InternalUI device. (1/?)
It was manufactured about 6 months before release, with some parts being made in February.

gm all
took the iPad 1 hax even further
from 7.0โฆ
to 7.1.2! This is the absolute highest that I can goโฆ and somehow control center at least partially functions with 7.1.2 on the iPad 1
Every once in a while, the world will try to get in your way, to hold you back.
People will tear down sandcastles, houses of cards, thinking theyโve won.
But those who have tried to be rid of me have failed, time and time again.
I will claw my way back up every single time.
The MacBook Neo feels like a reincarnation/spiritual successor of the iBook G3, with its bright colors.
Looks infinitely better than the white polycarbonate MacBooks, or the 12-inch MacBook with the dreaded butterfly keyboard.
MBA/MBP upgrades are dull, as expected.
Pink iPhone 17e looks weird, like the scrapped iPhone 16 prototypes.
do not care about the M4 iPad Air at all, easily the most forgettable upgrade
