With the iOS 27.2 Release Candidate now being tested by developers, the final version is just days away. Mark your calendars!

OmniFocus 4.9 adds support for Siri AI, optional new date parsing assistance via Apple Intelligence, and a range of new and updated App Intents exposed as Shortcuts actions.
[…]
In our testing we’ve found that the new Siri AI hasn’t yet learned how to work with app capabilities that it hasn’t specifically been trained on, even for App Intents that are available in Shortcuts and Spotlight. For example, its understanding of how to work with OmniFocus is based on how it’s been trained to work with the Reminders app. Our work in OmniFocus 4.9 means that Siri now knows about “reminders” in OmniFocus (i.e. actions and Inbox items), “lists” (i.e. projects) which contain reminders, and any “groups” (i.e. folders) that lists have been organized into. Siri can assign and edit reminder due dates, flags, repeat schedules, and notes and image attachments in OmniFocus. This is another great leap forward! But as soon as you try to go beyond what Reminders can do, you find its limits: for example, it doesn’t understand the distinction between due dates, planned dates, and defer dates.
Siri also doesn’t really understand much about how our document-based apps work, because Apple hasn’t trained it on our specific apps or anything equivalent. So, Siri doesn’t know how to make an outline, or a diagram, or a Gantt chart. We expect this to improve over time—after all, we’ve worked with other language models that do understand how to make those things—but it’s important to understand Siri’s current limits.

With Siri AI, Spotlight becomes even more important as a source for personal context. You can ask Siri about content in your OmniFocus database, so Siri can summarize the actions you’ve completed this week, or tell you what items you might consider working on soon.
My favorite change in OmniFocus 4.9 seems less exiting, but I’m irrationally happy about it. Last year, as part of the Liquid Glass update, they redesigned the Perspectives Bar on iOS to automatically collapse and expand as you scroll. I found the animations distracting, it messed up my muscle memory, and it required lots of extra taps. In 4.9, there’s a new Show Perspective Bar option, which you can set to Automatically (the 4.8 behavior), Manually (stay collapsed but expand when you tap), or Always (show the expanded state all the time, nothing moves). This is, of course, what I chose.
I’m still seeing the previously mentioned glitches in the Mac app with tabbing, spontaneous tag collapsing, and the window moving itself between spaces. The iOS app sometimes still shows an out-of-date list of flagged actions.

A ideia de rodar o iOS em um smartphone Android parece absurda, mas se tornou realidade com o projeto Hackios.
A proposta é do usuário do GitHub ios-sweet, que substituiu o kernel Linux dos smartphones Android pelo XNU, desenvolvido pela Apple para iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS e visionOS.
Quando o dispositivo Android é inicializado, o sistema reconhece o celular como um iPhone X — dispositivo que foi escolhido por não ter o código de autenticação de ponteiros (Pointer Authentication Code, ou PAC), assim como o Redmi Note 10 Pro, da Xiaomi, usado na adaptação inicial.
Já circulam vídeos do sistema adaptado ao Redmi Note 12 Pro, ainda com dificuldades notáveis de desempenho:

Embora o código do iOS permaneça fechado, o XNU do macOS foi liberado pela Apple. Pelos indícios nos documentos incluídos nos arquivos do projeto, o iOS foi adaptado com o auxílio de inteligência artificial (IA).
Depois de ligado, o celular carrega uma imagem intermediária no bootloader, que inicia o XNU em uma partição formatada para simular o armazenamento do iPhone X, com uma cópia do iOS 16.7 — a versão mais recente do sistema disponibilizada ao aparelho.
Alguns apps nativos são carregados junto com a Tela de Início, e os toques e gestos para alternar entre eles (além dos botões de volume e de liga/desliga) são reconhecidos, mas o celular não consegue ativar as câmeras, o som e a GPU 1Graphics processing unit, ou unidade de processamento gráfico., nem usar dados móveis, Bluetooth e Wi-Fi.
Além do Redmi Note 10 Pro, a adaptação já tem versões para o Redmi Note 12 Pro e o LG V60, enquanto outros aparelhos (como OnePlus 7T, Redmi 5 Plus e Galaxy S23 Ultra) foram listados, mas ainda não têm versões disponíveis para download.
Para quem tem um aparelho compatível e quiser se aventurar, vale conferir o site do projeto, que disponibiliza o download na página do desenvolvedor no GitHub.
