  • iOS 17.4 beta has signs of an AI-improved Siri ahead of WWDC 2024

    I hope that this will improve the accuracy of Siri’s responses, although I won’t be holding my breath. We’re already getting a few Siri queries when we’ve said something that was interpretable by Siri as ‘Siri’ after the new ‘standalone’ word reaction was released in iOS 17. I’m not sure how much AI implementation is going to sort that out. Getting Siri do actually do the simple things on the phone that I ask it to would be nice. Maybe I mumble too much…

  • Sit or stand: What to think about when using Apple Vision Pro

    Alex1NAlex1N
    Building up slowly - a little at a time but increasing - to strengthen neck muscles would be a very good approach. For those complaining that they want to use it now, right now, have some patience. Remember that?

  • Startlingly good iPhone 15 Pro Max fake is hard to spot

    Alex1NAlex1N
    How are they going to produce the SoCs? That would be they very first hurdle that they would fall at - unless there’s a backdoor at TSMC…

    you summed it up nicely, Entropys. The ‘Big Four’ trying to protect their own cozy racket, as usual.

  • Apple considers bringing iPhone camera sensor designs in-house

    I assume Sony currently supplies Apple at the moment. It will be some feat to best Sony IMHO.   Given Sony also provides sensors for Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel, not to mention Sony's sensors are also used in a wide range of non-phone cameras, from point-and-shoots to professional DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. Some major camera manufacturers that use Sony sensors include Nikon, Canon, and Fujifilm. To add to Sony's impressive lineup, Sony's new sensor used in the global shutter technology in the A9III is a phenomenal achievement which I would have thought Apple would have lept at.
    Thanks very much for the headsup on the universal shutter, MacPro. I went looking and found some preliminary info on at least one camera review site (dpreview.com). It does indeed seem a ground-breaking development. My current mirrorless DSLR (an OM-1) uses a(n allegedly SONY) stacked sensor, but this is something way beyond what’s in my camera. I’ll be watching this with intense interest.
