macxpress said: It won't be a problem because I don't see Apple bringing this to market. What would a ring do that Apple Watch can't or doesn't already do? I'm sure we'll see an Apple Ring. Some people, like me, can't sleep well wearing a…

Apple is taking issue with button designs... that they are "too similar"? Isn't that the very essence of Human Interface Guidelines... that the interface -should- be consistent from one app to the next?

It's right there in the name, people. "Open"AI. Open for all to see. But on a serious note, doesn't this reflect on Apple and macOS, too? Maybe the operating system should be more openly surfacing where an app is writing data to? The Installer d…

What's anti-competitive about NOT offering a brand new feature in a particular region? That makes no sense at all. Apple is not retaliating. They are proceeding with caution. Two very different things. The regulations are currently full of holes th…

I don't use Apple's Weather app, mainly because the non-Canadian data sources increase distrust. Instead, my default is the Weather Network, Canada's main weather channel. It is interesting to compare forecasts across apps. You can definitely see h…

But what makes this an "Apple Pay" issue? Does AppleInsider know for a fact that Apple's Apple Pay feature/network is involved? App Store transactions aren't necessarily Apple Pay transactions.

That's the one downside of having great ideas in the online tech world. Once you build it, then you must keep it running. Glad to hear that this is isolated to one country. Shows that Apple has regional isolation. Could you imagine if this started …

I always wondered what life was like waking up every morning feeling like a victim, and inventing things to complain about. I'm sure there's some level of truth to some of her claims, but wow... what is next in her rampage? That the socks she boug…

Wedbush argues that this is because of how Apple Intelligence has been built to work with AI apps from other developers, such as OpenAI. The prediction is that hundreds of generative AI apps will be developed to work with Apple Intelligence in the …

I hope that Apple sticks to this. As a matter of principle. Apple Intelligence will be so deeply integrated, but they must be building it in such a way where it can be disabled regionally. Interesting. Will VPNs trick it?

When I first read the headline, I thought "what an unusual feature!" Who would want to cancel their nose? Just my eyes not awake yet. haha

A truly superb analysis and coverage of Apple's approach to ML and AI. Once again, Apple played the cards right. Genius. We've got exciting times ahead.

Very happy to see work being done in this area. Imagine this working over Wifi with any connected Apple device. A classroom where all idle CPU cycles are shared with those around you. I know that battery life will become the central argument, but…
