Apple Locks AI Agents Out of Your Mac. And Who Will Lock Out Siri?
Apple hides AI agents from the Full Disk Access list in macOS 27.3. Good. But five days ago it said it wants its own agent Siri with access to everything. Same rules for Siri.

Five days after Ternus said AI agents must wait for security, Apple wants Siri to become an agent next year. An agent with the keys to our email, contacts and money. That scares me.
John Ternus cut Apple engineers' AI to $25 a day, then pushed Craig Federighi to move faster on AI. Two months at the helm, and I give Apple three years at this pace.
iPhone Air 2 is coming in spring 2027. The Air is still the most "wow" iPhone, but a weaker phone for $100 under the iPhone 18 Pro makes no sense.
A $110,000 Tesla Solar Roof never made a watt, Tesla hid papers from the judge, and a court ruled it liable for fraud. Its offer to the owner: $5,000.
A leak says the iPhone 20 Pro will drop the Action button in 2027 and keep only Camera Control. Apple sold the button as innovation in 2023. It's the Touch Bar story again.
Congress wants the records behind Apple's $25 million White House ballroom donation. Apple pays for its peace with power, and we pay for it through the prices of our gadgets.
Tesla will end Cybertruck production in mid-2027 to "make room" for the Cybercab, then raised prices up to $7,500. Instead of admitting nobody wanted it, Musk tells a story. Tesla is a show.
Apple says over 100,000 apps are built for iPhone Duo. That's about one in eighteen, and even optimized apps leave empty strips. Ternus laughed at Android; Samsung's Fold 8 is cheaper and lighter.
Tesla answered NHTSA's 21 sworn questions on how the Cybercab, with no steering wheel or brake pedal, meets safety rules, and asked to keep it all secret. Safety on public roads is not a trade secret.
Apple's Creator Studio now puts an OpenAI-powered assistant into Pages, Keynote and Logic Pro for $12.99 a month. One presentation can eat almost a month of the limit. Just download ChatGPT or Claude.
Tesla charged about $6,726 for Full Self-Driving in Korea for three years, for cars that can't legally use it, and a court still blamed Korea's rules. What Elon Musk is doing is no joke anymore.
Apple is cutting daily AI budgets for its own employees from $300 down to as little as $25, right after the best year in its history. With this attitude, Apple won't get far.
The bigger battery in the base iPhone 18 is just an excuse to raise the price, and Apple still charges $600 for memory that costs it $192. My bet: +$200.
