that's a laughably small list for a company the size of apple

Hopefully News/News+ will make this list.

Wow another vibeslopped website on the front of Hacker News, how original!

I'd argue a good use of vibeslop -- a non security critical, fun, UI-centric data presentation website, don't be so cynical :)

I mean it's not as offensive as a lot of other vibe-coded "products", but it's just kind of a waste of everyone's time; there's no ingenuity in the presentation (it suffers from the same emoji-feature-box-small-text combo as every single one-shot vibecoded site in existence) and judging by said presentation I highly doubt the author put the effort into researching this list or writing the comments by themselves either.

So while it's not gonna be the next Moltbook in terms of security breaches, it's basically just the 2026 version of your middle manager copy-pasting a paragraph from ChatGPT web into Slack. It's content from nobody for nobody. It's definitely not what I want to see on the HN front page, but I guess if people get a kick out of it then you do you.

I'm disappointed these keep making it to the front page, but clearly most people here have no taste or standards.

What does it mean for Apple to have "killed" the iPhone X?

A lot better than Google’s track record:

Reading this, it honestly seems like Apple has keen product insight. Dropping FireWire for TB/USB etc. Killed by Apple but thank god so we can have fewer custom ports. Thank you, Apple.

> Lightning Connector

Good. Apple users are a minority in my local community, yet the vast majority of broken charging ports over the years have been Lightning. Some micro-USB, and zero USB-C problems so far.
