Uh, soft reboots or hard/forced reboots?? Soft reboots (turn iPhone off/on) are fine. Hard/forced reboots have a tiny chance of corrupting internal storage (because it's like pulling the power plug on a running desktop PC). It's like playing russian roulette; you might be able to get away with doing it a lot, but you'll get bitten eventually.

Or take the time range for search result. If there’s something on the news, and you think you remember almost the same thing being In the news before, you could just go and set the custom range To to a month or a year ago. Boom, up came what you were looking for.

Now you get 5 year old articles with no relation to what you were looking for, but they were recently reindexed and the keywords of course appear in the „now trending on this site“ side bar. And it should be trivial for Google to ignore the side bars (or adds), but they don‘t.

I couldn't see Apple beating Google at search.

I could see them potentially leapfrogging Google, now that we're entering the era of ChatGPT et al and traditional search slowly starts to fade when these AI/ML bots get really good.

...But then I use Siri and think not.

I hope that Apple doesn't beat Google at advertising.

I use Apple products as I don't like being a product and being advertised to.

If that happens, what is the major difference between Apple and Google? Not much.

Finally, I don't know why Apple Maps gets lots of hate - I like it more than Google Maps, personally.

Apple Maps has a much better approach to slowly zooming in when you get to a junction etc.

Google Maps often seems like a sports cameraperson is controlling the zoom.

For me the watch vibration is intense enough that it's basically impossible for me to ignore unless I'm literally knocked out/passed out/not getting enough oxygen to my brain. The alarm one can be distracting outright (so I don't use it during the day unless absolutely necessary).

Maybe I'm just explicitly sensitive to the vibration or something. Idk.
