Moderators lazarus Posted September 12, 2013 Moderators Posted September 12, 2013 Cool stuff for sure Nice stuff but Apple has clearly lost their edge. I guess every product release can't be revolutionary. I'm an apple fan but I'm getting board now. I heard folks say that we are approaching the death of the password.

Photo: Norman Jean Roy/Vanity Fair The way Tim Cook sees it, tech's next big thing arrives in stores today. It's a headset that makes you look like "you're going skiing in the Matrix," Vanity Fair's Nick Bilton writes about the new Apple Vision Pro. Why it matters: Seven or so years and 5,000 patents after Cook first tried an early version, Apple is unleashing the product it hopes will be the future of computing. Apple's big problem: Making the $3,500 Vision Pro — high-tech quirks and all — attractive to the average iPhone user. It has a 23-million-pixel screen, which is like beaming a 75-inch TV into each eyeball. "I think meditation is on a different level than anything I've ever experienced, and I've meditated for a long time," Cook said. But the product's size and weight — about 20 ounces — cause the most consistent grumbles. "Until we can get the scuba diving mask off your face and we make it less noticeable, we're not going to make this a mass-adoption technology," Carolina Cruz-Neira, a virtual reality pioneer, told Bilton.

Members phkrause Posted June 12, 2024 Author Members Posted June 12, 2024 Apple Apple is widely expected to announce a partnership today with ChatGPT maker OpenAI and unveil the first batch of generative AI tools that could reinvigorate iPhone sales. Experts say Apple's AI capabilities will especially benefit its Siri personal assistant as the company seeks to go beyond what competitors like Samsung and Microsoft have already introduced for their smartphones and computers. An AI-powered Siri could potentially perform specific tasks such as recalling a picture taken years ago on the device or answering detailed questions about the weather, the news or trivia. Over time, it could learn the user's preferences and personality and respond accordingly. It remains to be seen whether the new AI tools will be accessible on older iPhones or functional only on forthcoming devices set to launch in the fall.

Members phkrause Posted June 12, 2024 Author Members Posted June 12, 2024 Apple's AI play: ChatGPT on every iPhone Photo: Ina Fried/Axios Apple today unveiled Apple Intelligence — its plan to harness advances in AI to improve the software that powers the iPhone, Mac and other products, Axios' Ina Fried writes from the launch event at Apple Park in Cupertino, Calif. Why it matters: Apple has been the slowest of the major tech companies to detail a generative AI strategy. Today's event was its broadest effort yet to hang the banner of modern AI over its popular products. What's new: Apple is using generative AI to improve Siri, offer writing tips and create images. Apple is also using AI within mail to sort and summarize messages. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman at the Apple event. Photo: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images Apple customers will have free access to ChatGPT without needing to create an account. For especially challenging queries, Siri will ask users if they'd rather get a response from ChatGPT. That's why OpenAI CEO Sam Altman (above) was on hand at the announcement. More from the event.

Members phkrause Posted June 13, 2024 Author Members Posted June 13, 2024 AI's iPhone moment Illustration: Aïda Amer/Axios Apple combined the iPod with a cellphone 17 years ago and electrified the world. Now the tech giant hopes that combining the iPhone with AI will strike similar sparks, Axios' Ina Fried reports from Apple Park in Cupertino, Calif. Why it matters: Apple has never been known for being first to new technology. But it has always had a knack for picking exactly the right moment to jump in. The company's approach, revealed yesterday and dubbed Apple Intelligence, envisions a future where a ubiquitous AI system that knows all about you can use that knowledge to surface the right information and take action on your behalf. In contrast to the current chatbots — which know about the world, but little about you beyond what you tell them — Apple is building a context engine that understands each customer and the information and people that matter most to them. Craig Federighi, Apple SVP of software engineering, described Apple Intelligence as "AI for the rest of us" — alluding to Apple's 1980s slogan for Macintosh: "A computer for the rest of us." Apple CEO Tim Cook at Apple Park in Cupertino, Calif., yesterday. Photo: Jeff Chiu/AP 🔬 Between the lines: Bringing this bold vision to life depends on two key elements — technology and trust. On the technology front, Apple may not be building the most advanced frontier models like Google, Meta or OpenAI — which struck a deal with Apple. 💡 But given what it showed yesterday, the company seems further along than many thought. Trust is where Apple has a real edge. The Apple Intelligence vision relies on access to a copious amount of personal data. The company can draw on a reputation for privacy that it has spent more than a decade fostering. Reality check: Apple unveiled a compelling, if incomplete, vision. But don't forget that the first iPhone had some huge limitations. It ran on a super slow network, didn't support third-party apps and couldn't even "copy" and "paste."

Members phkrause Posted June 16, 2024 Author Members Posted June 16, 2024 Apple is now the most valuable US public company after its announcements on generative AI features for iPhones sent its stock climbing. The company's market cap closed at roughly $3.29 trillion on Thursday, just above Microsoft's $3.28 trillion. The iPhone maker's bounceback comes about a week after AI chipmaker Nvidia surpassed it to become the second-largest public company. Nvidia now ranks third, behind Microsoft. Still, it will take some time until Apple sees substantial sales growth, analysts say, as users are now waiting longer to upgrade their devices and an uncertain economic environment weighs on consumers, particularly in China.

Members phkrause Posted September 9, 2024 Author Members Posted September 9, 2024 Apple ‘glow time’ Apple is set to introduce its first lineup of iPhones designed to feature generative artificial intelligence — which lets users create text and images — during its annual hardware event later today. The unveiling was teased with the cryptic motto of “it’s glow time” and the company is staying mum thus far on what it means. Apple has already hinted at some of the things the new AI features will be able to do, such as enabling more natural conversations with Siri, helping to draft emails, making it easier to find specific moments in your photo albums and incorporating users’ personal information into its responses. Apple may also announce updates to the Apple Watch and AirPods during the 1 p.m. ET event. Quote phkrause Obstinacy is a barrier to all improvement. - ChL 60
