It’s getting increasingly difficult to avoid AI when you open up your phone or laptop — as soon as I started this article in Google Docs, I was immediately offered some AI assistance to write it (which I didn’t take).

After months of speculation, Apple Intelligence took center stage at WWDC 2024 in June. The platform was announced in the wake of a torrent of generative AI news from companies like Google and Open AI, causing concern that the famously tight-lipped tech giant had missed the boat on the latest tech craze. Contrary to such…
Apple’s iPhone 16 is out, but the company hasn’t made its iOS 18 Apple Intelligence features available to all consumers just yet.

The iPhone 16 officially goes on sale Friday. But for its earliest adopters, it arrives with a fundamental compromise baked into the deal.

Among the more interesting of recent vintage (all Apple Watch related): The Apple Watch Series 10’s blood pressure monitoring is not coming to the Watch Ultra 2, limited Apple Intelligence features for the Watch, though it will be…
Sometimes a headline is enough. Apple will reveal the iPhone 16 at its September 9 “It’s Glowtime” event; this much we can tell you for certain.
