  • Warren Buffett has sold a lot of Apple stock so far in 2024

    Much a do about nothing, he's sold 13%, which means he has 87% Apple shares left.
    He clearly wants the cash for something, nothing to do with losing faith with Apple.
    I suspect he's found another gem and wants to buy into that, would love to know what that gem is

  • Apple has dominated 2024 smartphone sales with iPhone 15 Pro Max

    Hardly surprising 15's are very very good phones, especially the Pro's!
    Once people saw through the fake hype AI on the Samsung S24 range and particularly how blatantly Samsung copied the iPhone 15's, they went and bought the real deal, an iPHONE

  • Siri for iOS 18 to gain massive AI upgrade via Apple's Ajax LLM

    I love the Safari Reader feature in Safari, which also doubles as an ad-remover. I'm surprised I haven't noticed companies get upset about Apple's ad remover technology in this feature.

    Similarly, I would love to see Apple use AI to give Safari a new "Summarizer" feature which, when turned on, would display the web page in a manner similar to Safari Reader, but would summarize the page. I would expect web-content creators to get upset that someone is abridging their content, but since they haven't been upset about the Safari Reader, maybe they won't get upset about the Safari Summarizer either.

    Maybe there are no legal grounds to object to a user creating summaries of web content for personal purposes. If the summary was being performed by an online service, there might be a legal problem with that. But if it's done on device, it's probably legal. This could be a problem for Google and Microsoft, because their AI services are all done online. Google and Microsoft are charging users for "summaries" of information from third party websites.
    Google doesn't charge me for AI-enabled article summaries, which like Apple has ads removed. I use Google Simplify, their "Reader" mode, and Google Summary which makes use of Generative AI, multiple times a day. No ads with either feature. Oh, and Summary runs on-device, just as privately as what Apple is supposedly planning. We will all know more if/when Apple officially announces it. 

    At the same time, Google respects a website owner's right to monetize their content and won't "summarize" without the content owner's permission.  There have also been no legal objections to it either, as far as I know, so I fully expect Apple will handle it the same as Google; AI Summarize, sans ads, will only be available with a website owner's permission.

    Perhaps you read, too many summaries in Google, to be so ill informed?

    Does that mean Siri suddenly understands Dutch? If not, any “massive upgrade” has zero value for me and Siri remains switched off like the past few years.
    No offense but this is somewhat niche… 
    No offence taken, however your view is very blinkered and a big deal for people that don't speak the limited languages it so far supports. It's not niche, it's essential that it supports every language it's sold in!

    Spot on, it is Siri's biggest downside, in which Universe is it Ok to sell a product that doesn't work in your native language? Hopefully AI can help with that, Siri should work with every language the phone is sold! However I think you'll find Siri works in Dutch language, since IOS 15
