Crossing the Golden Gate, Intel support, and more

2026-06-12T12:46:44+00:00

Apple has not only restricted the advanced AI model to devices with M3+ chips and 12 GB of RAM, but also requires M5 Pro or M5 Max chips for certain accelerated performance features in Metal 4.1.

There are three potentially important changes that might affect you:

Encrypted HFS+ (using CoreStorage) is officially deprecated, and will not be supported in a future version of macOS. If you still back up to or otherwise rely on encrypted HFS+ volumes, you should plan to switch to encrypted APFS or, if you must remain with HFS+, to remove encryption.
Golden Gate now provides a Swift API for Apple Sparse Image Format (ASIF) and raw disk image formats. These should make them more accessible in virtualisers, and general purpose disk image utilities. This is a small but important step forward.
Logarchive format has changed in macOS 27, and the new format can’t be read on versions of macOS earlier than 26.2. I will be looking at that in more detail, in due course.

Apple’s new Foundation Models explained: on-device AI, cloud AI, and everything in between

2026-06-12T06:06:19+00:00

During the WWDC26 keynote, Apple announced its third generation of Apple Foundation Models (AFM), comprising five models, some of which are local, some of which are cloud-based, and one of which lives in Google’s servers running on Nvidia chips. Here’s a breakdown of how that will work.

Usage of Private Cloud Compute by developers is restricted?

2026-06-12T13:07:37+00:00

I was trying out the new PCC model via PrivateCloudComputeLanguageModel().

Ref: PCC Docs

I am hit with an error "Process is missing required entitlement: com.apple.developer.private-cloud-compute". I am unable to add that capability to the project, however. (I'm still figuring it out, I'll correct myself if I find anything)

The requirements say that the developers need to be enrolled into the App Store Small Business program, have <2M downloads on their apps, and have the entitlement assigned to the developer account.

Ref: https://developer.apple.com/private-cloud-compute/

Does this mean individual developers cannot just develop an app that uses PCC, with an ad-hoc signature?

This is the full error description I encountered, for those interested.

Error: Error Domain=FoundationModels.LanguageModelError Code=-1 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (FoundationModels.LanguageModelError error -1.)" UserInfo={NSMultipleUnderlyingErrorsKey=( "Error Domain=FoundationModels.LanguageModelError Code=-1 \"(null)\" UserInfo={NSMultipleUnderlyingErrorsKey=(\n \"Error Domain=ModelManagerServices.ModelManagerError Code=1046 \\\"(null)\\\" UserInfo={NSMultipleUnderlyingErrorsKey=(\\n)}\"\n)}" ), NSLocalizedDescription=The operation couldn’t be completed. (FoundationModels.LanguageModelError error -1.)}

Comparing Airpod Pro 2 hearing aid feature to Phonak I-30 R with real ear measurements

2026-06-12T04:01:14+00:00

Hopefully link worked correctly. If not I just posted the comparison to two other groups. I was using the Airpods Pro 2 as hearing aids since October when I learned from their test (and then confirmed with audiologist) that I have mild-moderate sensorineural hearing loss. The AirPods work pretty good!! There’s noticeably less high frequency sounds with the Airpods but they’re still close to my prescription targets all things considered and I MUCH prefer them to my Phonaks for listening to music.

I’m excited to see how things improve with future models specifically I’d like if they fell out of my ears less easily and didn’t reduce high frequency sounds by muting for a few seconds even with noise reduction turned off.

Apple Removes Walkie-Talkie From Apple Watch in watchOS 27 Beta

End of an era. Over. 📻

eta: Obviously this is a Developer Beta, and things can change before the final stable release. Comparing the watchOS 26.5 and watchOS 27.0 binaries, the standalone TinCan.app/Walkie Talkie app payload and accessibility bundles are gone.

Me: I am only 50 feet away from the car wash; I need to wash my car. Should I walk or drive there?

Siri: Since you are only 50 feet away, walking would be the quickest way to get there, but you will need your car if you plan to wash it!
