Apple has not changed anything in the public build of iOS. News summaries are disabled in the developer beta of 18.3, which is still about 6-8 weeks away from being done.
And my point is that the headline makes it look like Apple intelligence is being disabled. It isn’t. This only impacts a feature of a feature. Notification summary functionality isn’t going away, it’s just being restricted to non-news apps in the current developer beta.
And they’re only on dev beta 3, and they usually release around beta 8, so things could change. They often do.
I dig the industrial design updates. Looks more refined, the bigger controllers will be nicer for multiplayer, and they finally fixed that terrible kick stand.
The leaked hardware specs, if real, also look promising.
It kind of depends on the job and the size of the company. My father was an engineer and spent time in offices and open floors full of drawing tables. The small companies could accommodate offices, but that was too hard to pull off with larger companies.
I remember some old offices buildings at MS where they tried to give everyone a little baby office, and it was actually pretty depressing and weird.
This is kind of a myth. It’s not feasible for everyone to have an office if you have a lot of people in once space. Open floor plans were what people did.
A lot of offices didn’t, and some still don’t, consider the design of the floor plan. You’d end up with beige cubes filling most of the floor, with no little chill spots to break out and collaborate.
IMHO, a good floor plan has some areas for people to hide and focus, some comfortable areas to collaborate outside of a conference room, and some areas to recharge.
