That website is total trash and the article feels like it was written by ChatGPT 1

kachapopopow•1d ago

it's forbes, also it has an author so unlikely it was written with AI.

Brian_K_White•1d ago

And yet the asessment of the quality is still accurate. At least other trash sites have the excuse that they aren't claiming to be Forbes. At least an ai has the excuse that it's an ai.

Doesn’t mean the author didn’t offload the task of writing to an AI. Also, Forbes blogs don’t have editorial oversight, only the official magazine articles.

I don't think I've ever something so incorrect.

randunel•1d ago

I think it's really difficult to write so much text with so little information conveyed in it. I don't think I'd be able to even once, let alone as my daily job.

OptionOfT•1d ago

Not to mention the first to 2 links on the article refer to Forbes, not to Apple.

Apple here is the authority. Not Forbes.

They write:

> along with a warning to update your iPhone now

where 'update your iPhone' links to this BS article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/kateoflahertyuk/2025/12/05/chec...

Where is the warning from Apple?

How legit is this? In my experience, every time I've updated iOS due to some urgent "security issue", the result was my phone just got a whole lot slower.

kachapopopow•1d ago

that's because it jits code instead of pre-jitting like android does, so when you hit a piece of code that hasn't been compiled yet you perceive it as slowdown since the first time it runs it is emulated.

This comment makes no sense. Both Swift and Objective C are precompiled languages.

kachapopopow•22h ago

swift compiles to bytecode, objective c I am not sure but I think that is native

mmastrac•20h ago

This is incorrect. Swift optionally compiles to _bitcode_ (+), which is pre-compiled by _Apple_ before distribution, not by your device itself.

(+) Bitcode is now deprecated: https://digital.ai/catalyst-blog/navigating-apples-bitcode-c...
