Apple-Bug 2026-10 (October)

As I hopefully predicted, Apple had more to reveal this month - one new product and two updated ones.
Most important of all is the new Apple HomeView.
Many have predicted that this was coming but it has been delayed due to the late release of Siri AI - they had the Smart Home hardware ready for a long while now but it was not truly complete until Siri AI was released.
Another product to make a note of is the ArtCraft Professional Creative Suite - Open Source and free! I have not had time to delve into it yet but it looks very promising. It currently consists of thirteen apps - many of which are equivalent to Adobe and Microsoft products. For example the WordCraft and PhotoCraft apps look very similar to MS Word and Adobe PhotoShop. There is a 16 page article listing the key features of each of the 13 apps. There is a Launcher app that allows you to install and run the apps.
Jude has also written an article about resurrecting her Journey to the Wild Divine! (Mac Meditation).
