When you report bugs on iOS, some content may be used for AI training
DAalseth said:The developer who spotted this addition criticized Apple for not including an opt-out option, saying that the only way users could opt out was by not filing a bug report at all.If this is true it would adversely impact bug reporting. A lot of us are working very hard to not let our data be used for AI training. Now we may be in possession of an important bug report but have to violate our principles if we want to report it. Many may decide not to. If this is true, it would be a very stupid move on Apple’s part. -
On-device Apple Intelligence training seems to be based on controversial technology

Same thing with Background Activity, Location Services (including precise location), Live Activities, Notifications and more. Lots of things to shut down. -

I’m actually surprised Apple wasn’t doing something like this already. If they don’t have a way to see what people are doing with these systems (AI, photo editing/generation, etc), how do they have any way to improve? They can’t. That’s why Siri is so far behind Google and other platforms AI tech. Apple refuses to use the data they have to improve their tech. So until and unless they do start using the data they already have, Siri/AI will never improve. -
iPadOS 19 rumored to get more Mac-like in productivity push
charlesn said:Hope springs eternal for these changes but Apple has long been resistant. There was similar hope for iPad OS 18, especially after the debut of the all-new Pro iPad models, but that hope died at WWDC. We'll see this year. If Apple wanted to give the iPad Pros a real sales boost, make them capable of booting into either iPad OS or Mac OS at the user's discretion, which Apple Silicon can do. In iPad OS, it works as usual. In Mac OS, you lose touchscreen capability and it operates just like a Mac, requiring the use of Magic Keyboard with the built-in trackpad. Apple could do this today. No merging of 2 very different OSes required, no need to figure out how to bring touch to the Mac, no blah, blah, blah whatsoever. Boot into whichever OS makes the most sense for your needs at the moment. Macs have been able to boot into Windows for how long?
