Apple set to deliver AI assistant for transcribing, summarizing meetings and lectures
MacOS has had a decent summarize feature since quite some time. Microsoft Ofiice has had background removal from photos also since quite some time. All these AI features, while useful, are not really anything new

Apple said to be stealing tech from expensive suppliers to give to cheaper ones

I assume that is why Samsung phones have a 50MP camera sensor since a while now, but Apple has nothing even close to that

avon b7 said:I can't help but think that important pieces of information are missing from the story but if a contract is signed that specifically allows for these practices to happen, perhaps the root problem is right there waiting to be exploited.
Small companies get enamored by being suppliers to large volume buyers, like Apple and so end up signing these one sided contracts. Specially in poor Asian countries, where being such a supplier means a change in fortune

Apple is big enough that they can get away this. Also none of this is out of the ordinary. It is very common in a lot of industries and majority of large companies will abuse smaller suppliers like this.The only people, as far as I know, who donot do this is Japanese companies. They will stick with their suppliers and due to this, it is almost impossible for an outsider to be able to copy what the Japanese put out.Even Microsoft had a hard time in Japan, getting suppliers to work with them. Which is the whole story behind the Duke Xbox controllerProbably also the reason why Android phones have had much better camera hardware than iPhones since some time now. They are already using 50MP sensors, while Apple is stuck at 12MP. Same probably goes for screen coatings etc.
