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 next year.

I don't think Wedbush knows what he is talking about. Apple Intelligence won't "just work" with hundreds of 3rd-party services as sources of knowledge. That's backwards. There will be plenty of AI integration "on Apple devices" through apps, but they will be consumers of the tech, not service providers. Apple is carefully vetting which external services will serve as knowledge bases for Siri. OpenAI is first, and we're hearing rumours of additional services being explored. But not "hundreds". There's only a handful of worthy services and this won't change anytime soon.

Wedbush is correct that Apple is in a very unique position to catapult to the forefront of the AI wave, but only because they will leverage the work being done by others. It's genius.

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?

I hope there’s a sever side way to distinguish if a messsge was “sent later” or sent in the moment. I can see possibilities for criminals to use this to their advantage. Perhaps murdering someone at 6pm and leaving their phone behind to send a message at 7pm as a way to show the victim was still alive, creating an alibi for the killer. Or a rapist sending themselves a messsge later saying ‘had a great time tonight, I love when we role play’. 

Oh my, good points, but I hope that pessimistic (scary!) view of the world stops here. haha

This is unclear.
I wear my Airpods Pros for calls while driving with the windows open and satellite ON. So, I want to hear my car audio over whatever the Airpods are doing (nothing) while I wait for a call. So, what does noise-cancelling actually do? In my perfect world, a new call comes in and the Airpods SHOULD isolate the call - total noise block so I can hear the caller perfectly despite the window open and audio playing. Further, the ideal Airpods Pro would also noise-cancel and clean-up the noise on my end so the Caller can hear my voice crystal clear despite wind and audio. Are we getting there? Moreso with this firmware update (and how do I determine if my Airpods accessory have latest firmware update?) does this get accomplished?

Isn't it less safe to be driving with earbuds in? No different than headphones, which would be an immediate ticket. Guess one could argue that it doesn't involve eyes or hands, but there's still an element of distraction and "disconnecting" from the immediate world around you.

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
