Apple's big plan for better AI is you

1 week ago | computerworld.com | Jonny Evans

Apple has a brand new plan to make Apple Intelligence smarter. That plan is you — more specifically, your data. A post on the company’s Machine Learning blog explains the plan to begin on-device analysis of your user data. Apple trains its own AI using synthetic data, but this is a limited approach because models trained this way can struggle to understand trends when supporting Writing Tools or summaries.

Article continues under the videoThe two veteran players are on expiring player contracts and will not have their terms renewed by Man Utd. Both had their deals extended by a further season last year, but Romano has now announced that they will leave the club this summer.
One day, you'll fold your Mac and pop it in your pocket

Where might such ideas be applied in the iPad user interface? The latest reports are sketchy on any details, and what also isn’t clear is the extent to which Apple might tweak macOS to make it more like the iPad (as it does with Stage Manager, I think). But if we assume that multitasking and window management are the pain points, then the aim must surely be to make those processes easier and more intuitive.
Apple's Macs are powering the PC market's recovery

After all, no matter how difficult those changes will be, it is at least likely that a lot of the computing will take place on devices Apple makes — including those next-generation folding iPhones, iPads, and spatial computing glasses the company’s product designers are tinkering with. As well as Apple Intelligence, I suppose. Stepping back from the hyperbole, what does the Canalys data show? • Worldwide desktop and notebook shipments climbed 9.4% in the first quarter of 2025.
Has Apple's Siri learned there is no 'I' in team?

1 week ago | computerworld.com | Jonny Evans

Apple Intelligence might already have become a slightly tarnished brand — a modern-day repeat of the Apple Maps mess — but the company won’t give up on it without a fight; the word’s out that it now intends to rollout the contextual Siri features it promised at WWDC 2024 this fall. If it achieves this, it does at least mean the company will manage to ship the feature within the same year it promised, even if it did have to change senior leadership to get there.
Ignoring Wall Street, Apple gets busy on Vision Pro 2.0

One more thing is Apple Intelligence. While the company has self-inflicted bruises there, it continues working on Apple Intelligence, and — theoretically, at least — it’s plausible to anticipate a brand new Vision Pro unit arriving at around the same time the company’s AI finally gets that contextual intelligence Apple has been working on. Armed with that and the spatial-based user interface of Vision Pro, these systems promise to become highly credible computing devices in their own right.
How Apple thinks about the 6G evolution

2 weeks ago | computerworld.com | Jonny Evans

With its C1 5G chip and huge networking tech development division, Apple is in the networking business. So, the company is heavily enmeshed in the development of the next-generation 6G networking standard. Apple shared its vision and priorities for the in-development 6G standard at a recent 3GPP workshop session in Seoul, where it stressed the need for good user experiences, stable and consistent networking operations, backwards compatibly and energy efficiency in 6G.
Why iPhone-as-a-service may make sense as tariffs bite Apple

2 weeks ago | computerworld.com | Jonny Evans

It might be time for Apple-as-a-service as the company looks to plot a cunning course through the post-globalist freeze — and offering its products as a service could help it do just that. Apple had been expected to introduce just such a service. In fact, Mark Gurman recently said those plans were quite advanced, but the company shelved the idea, presumably because of its potential impact on “normal” iPhone sales and consequent revenue. With the recent round of tariffs from US President Donald J.
Apple, tariffs, and the art of war

2 weeks ago | computerworld.com | Jonny Evans

We are still within the sequence of energies described in Newton’s Third Law of Motion, “every action has an equal and opposite reaction.” In this case, Apple, already badly bruised by Trump’s tariffs and their impact on its business, will now take another kicking as nations react to those oddly calculated trade taxes. Europe is gunning for Apple’s services, while China is about to stick some of the world’s rarest components behind its own trade wall. China, predictably, isn’t happy.
GenAI : Apple comme alternative à Nvidia avec webAI et MacStadium

2 weeks ago | lemondeinformatique.fr | Jonny Evans

Que se passerait-il si n’importe quelle entreprise pouvait créer une solution d'IA générative (GenAI) spécifique à son activité et hébergée dans le cloud ? Et si ce cloud utilisait les systèmes les plus économes en énergie au monde ? Et si ces services fonctionnaient également sur la plateforme informatique la plus sûre au monde, le Mac ? MacStadium et webAI ont répondu à la question en concrétisant cette idée. Les deux entreprises sont déjà...
