Apple didn’t implement my memory idea. So I figured it best to submit another unsolicited idea to Apple.
Hello, internet friends 😊.
Pals.
Buddies.
Wait, what term has my 10 year-old been using…
Bros.
Right.
It’s December 14, 2025. Almost 2026. Wow.
And it’s been a long while since I posted.
I can simply never find the time to post as much as I want to. I can never find the time to do a lot of things.
So.
Apple hasn’t implemented my idea on helping us remember things.
Instead, after the recent update, I noticed that the screen on my iPhone 13 now looks like liquid glass.
Which of course is highly useful in seeing what’s behind whatever window I have open.
It’s downright magical. I feel like Apple is known for ‘magical’ effects.
Anyway. All this liquid glass made me decide to submit another unsolicited idea:
A content summarizer for Apple News.
Taking cues from YouTube
I click on the star icon (AI), then choose Summarize the video.
This allows me to get the gist of a video in text format. Within seconds or about a minute or so, I get information that would otherwise take 10 times longer to get. Or 30 or so.
Either way, a fraction of the total amount of time I’d otherwise need to watch a video.
I find this especially useful when a video is like 48 minutes long with plenty of YouTuber jokes inserted to make long-form content easier to digest.
The longer of my 2 work breaks is only 45 minutes, so there’s that.
If videos have summarizers…
Then why can’t news articles?
Again, nothing brilliant but IMHO, this feature would be practical for many.
Do people have shorter attention spans nowadays?
Columbia University says there’s “some evidence” to support this, yet it may actually be our environments that are changing, and at the end of the day, we have agency over our own attention spans.
Will Apple consider this idea?
It seems practical to me.
But I guess I don’t know how many could benefit from it.
So let’s wait and see.
Otherwise, I look forward to v2.0 of my liquid glass screen.
