  • Apple Intelligence & iPhone mirroring aren't coming to EU because of the DMA

    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?

  • How to schedule messages in iOS 18 using 'Send Later'

    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

  • New AirPods Pro beta feature allows users to tailor noise cancellation

    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.

  • New AirPods Pro beta feature allows users to tailor noise cancellation

    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

  • Is Apple Intelligence artificial?

    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.
