Apple CEO John Ternus pressured Apple senior VP of Software Engineering Craig Federighi to “accelerate the company’s road map and move quickly beyond merely making necessary improvements to Siri,” reports Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman in today’s Power On newsletter.
Citing anonymous sources, Gurman writes that Ternus is “frustrated by what he sees as a reluctance to embrace AI with the same urgency as competitors,” and pushed Federighi for changes in a meeting behind closed doors. Federighi, Gurman points out, has been considered an AI skeptic with concerns “about the technology’s privacy, security, societal and employment implications.”

Not OP, but I still haven’t found anything worthy of replacing (the now radioactive) Nova Launcher
I switched to octopi launcher

The software has gotten a LOT better since 10 years ago. They also offer much longer updates. I still use a third party launcher with mine, but the default has become less offensive than back then.
