Is Apple Intelligence artificial?
I’m with you, although you could have been sounding less wronged… I indeed think Apple is applying Ai in a useful way without the useless part of Ai (hallucination, fake articles and misinformation).
However, I wonder how far Apple Intelligence development really is, inside macOS and iOS: usually they demonstrate new features live. This time however, they showed small screencast-like sequences that could also have been edited videos of future features…I hope everything will be finished when the final releases of iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia come out…

Apple looking to drop Broadcom as wi-fi, bluetooth, cellular supplier
No need to be concerned: replacing Broadcom’s tech doesn’t mean Apple not using Broadcom’s patents. The goal of Apple is not creating independency from Broadcom as a company, but from Broadcom’s chip design. The goal would to be able to create chips that are better suited voor devices that Apple has in mind for the future. Sort of like how Apple is making chips with ARM’s patents, but with their own typical Apple design. It means Apple can leave out unused parts of Broadcom’s chip design to be able to, for example, better miniaturise their chips.thadec said:
I am more concerned with how it is possible to replace Broadcom's tech without using Broadcom's patents. It isn't as bad as the situation with Qualcomm and mobile tech, but still.coolfactor said:Broadcom is an industry leader. If Apple can replace them, that would be huge.

Dutch regulators rule Apple must make App Store changes before Jan. 15
I’m from The Netherlands and I love Apple products and use them since 1995. I don’t see how your (indeed illogical) solution would add to justice: as a Dutch user I don’t have anything to do with this matter.AniMill said:I know it’s not a logical action, but if I were I’d say, “Sorry, we will not comply. Instead we will be closing our App Store and no longer sell iPhones in your country.”
Add to this, with South Korea trying the same shit, Apple should tell them, “We will also send all our product production to other countries.”
Apple invented their iPhone, and their ecosystem. No one has to use it, no developer has to program for it. If you want to play in their garden, you pay for that privilege.Furthermore, it’s more nuanced than it seems (as always in complicated matters like this, so I don’t even bother responding to some other completely senseless reactions in this thread). This ruling is only about dating apps, with the reason given, that the dating market these days has no other ways of earning money, than through dating apps, which completely depends on the App Store. It doesn’t seem to apply to other app makers, like Epic, which has other ways of collecting money, and aren’t dependent on the App Store. This ruling will of course ultimately also be applied to the Google Play Store, because their guidelines are about the same as Apple’s.
Me myself, I’m not sure. It is really complicated and has already previously been explained quite well in an old article, here on AppleInsider. I tend to not agree with the ruling, because back in 2008, when the App Store came alive, it was a godsend. Back then you’d pay about 70% to middlemen and physical stores to get your software in the hand of the customer. On the other hand: these days there are lots of alternative payment options, so blocking app makers from using them might be anti competitive.Maybe it helps if Apple would make using the App Store cheaper, to make it unattractive to use other payment options (which Apple already partially did).But the main reason for some app makers seem to be to own payment user data, and for that reason alone, I hope Apple will find a legal way to fight te ruling.

iPadOS 15 confirms Apple's M1-equipped iPad Pro is a V8 engine powering a Ford Pinto
That might be true, but on the other hand: if Apple would make the iPad Pro instantly dual boot, like starting (or opting to start) macOS the moment you connect an external monitor or a mouse, it’d be instantly THE most popular tablet/laptop outselling anything from any brand or vendor.mfryd said:Apple already has an OS that solves these features and runs on the new iPad Pro - it's called Big Sur. Big Sur already runs on the M1 processors, and supports multiple monitors, multitasking, and even runs iPad and iPhone apps.
It's policy that prevents OSX from running on the new iPad Pro. Apple wants to keep the iPad locked down and secure.Because then you’d buy two computers in one.Also ‘normal’ people would become interested in the iPad Pro, because it’d be reasonably priced instantly!
For the real pros Apple will still keep on selling MacBook Pros and Mac Pros….

What to expect from WWDC 2021 - and what not to
I don’t think you’ve read my comment. I’m explicitly NOT talking about merging. I’m talking about being able to distinctly run either macOS or iPadOS on the same device. The iPad Pro (especially the 12.9” version and more especially the exorbitant 16Gb 1Tb+ version) is ready for it.asdasd said:
It’s been mentioned here dozens of times. And still It’s an incredibly stupid idea, like all the merging of macOS and iPadOS ideas.mvmaastricht said:
I think Apple will, but not the way you think or hope for, or anyone seems to be aware of.dotcomcto said:I really want to hear Apple announce that M1 apps from the Mac App Store will be able to run directly on the M1 iPad Pro. I just don't get the purpose of a 16 GB RAM/1 or 2 TB M1 iPad Pro unless the device will be able to run Mac apps (vs 8 GB RAM/256 or 512 GB models). I suppose I get it for high end video editing, but other than that, I don't get its purpose otherwise.It seems obvious to me that Apple will make the iPad Pro instantly dual boot: as soon as you’ll connect your mouse or an external screen, iPadOS will offer to switch to macOS, effectively converting you 13” iPad in a 13” ‘MacBook’. Why not? That wouldn’t be a compromise, for the screen as well as the rest of the hardware of the iPad Pro is perfectly capable of running a desktop class OS…Disconnecting you screen could simply offer you to return to iOS…It surprises me that no one else on the internet seems to consider this possibility…?
