CUPERTINO — With the rollout of the iOS 16 beta underway, iPhone users may be surprised to find a new addition to their home screens: a separate version of the Notes app created exclusively for apology posts on social media. “Over 68% of Notes app usage comes from online influencers, mostly following a series of frantic texts from their PR manager,” read a screenshot from CEO Tim Cook, who couldn’t figure out how to crop out his grocery list for the week. “We’ve incorporated several commonly used phrases into the app’s auto-fill function, such as ‘I sincerely regret punching that crossing guard,’ ‘I didn’t know it was illegal to urinate there,’ and ‘What’s up Logang.’ The bug that was flagging the word ‘sorry’ as hate speech has also been patched.” As of press time, Apple had reported a 200% spike in usage coinciding with the conclusion of VidCon.
