  • Apple Intelligence & Private Cloud Compute are Apple's answer to generative AI

    coolfactorcoolfactor

    It's too bad that they didn't delve further into the Private Cloud Computer and show some actual hardware and how it's different from other "Compute" solutions. What makes it secure? Saying that Swift makes it more secure is not really saying much. I'm guessing that they weren't quite ready to share more, but it was a missed opportunity.

    No mention of the HomePods lineup at all.
    That’s the first place where a Siri update is needed.

    I guess it reads as: too embarrassed to even acknowledge their existence in this context, be ready to dump them all to buy a next gen next year.

    Are there any opportunities for developers with the HomePod? It was a developers conference, after all.

    Boy I hope they are wrong about the name "Apple Intelligence" seems such an obvious misstep. "Swift Intelligence" maybe understandable as an umbrella to all the open source work Apple sponsors in AI and as a common interface at API level for developers. 

    Even then as there is no casual inference in marketing the choice of such a name can't be removed from all the other times it is used in branding as a way of hiding something. 
    I do believe Apple Intelligence will be the name. It's just too juicy. Remember, the guys at the top are getting old.

  • iOS 18 to debut Apple Passwords app

    coolfactorcoolfactor
    I just discovered that the Passwords built into Settings supports Verification Codes. Not sure how I missed that. I've been slowly migrating all of my codes from the Google Authenticator app over to Passwords. The fact that these codes work seamlessly across macOS and iOS gives me exactly what I need. No more reaching for my phone every time I need to log into a site.

    I wish they called it Keychain to replace the Keychain Access app, but the dumbification of iOS and macOS continues...

    Soon, Safari will be renamed to "Web Browser".
