๐Ÿ“ฐ Apple declined to join the European Unionโ€™s newly launched voluntary AI Pact

๐Ÿ“‘ What is it?

๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ The AI Act is a new set of rules made by the European Union to control how artificial intelligence is developed and used. It will require companies to explain in detail what data they use to train their AI systems.

๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช The absence of Apple from the list of signatories revealed during the Pactโ€™s launch in Brussels was notable alongside other major firms like Meta and TikTok.

๐Ÿค Over 115 companies, including Adobe, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Samsung and even OpenAI, signed the Pact. Apple semms hesitant because of worries about the EUโ€™s Digital Markets Act (DMA). This law requires different platforms to work together, which could clash with Appleโ€™s rules on privacy and keeping data safe.

๐Ÿค– The company has previously indicated that these regulations complicate its ability to roll out new AI features in the EU, leading to delays in launching Apple Intelligence.

โ“ The decision highlights a broader hesitation among tech giants to engage with EU regulations perceived as overly stringent or unpredictable. As the EU continues to refine its approach to AI governance, the participation of major players will be crucial for shaping effective and balanced regulatory frameworks.

๐Ÿ“ฐ Apple not investing in OpenAI after all

๐Ÿ Apple was first reported to be discussing an OpenAI investment earlier this month. It was never clear, however, how much Apple mightโ€™ve invested in the company.

๐Ÿ—ž New Wall Street report says that Apple is no longer in talks to participate in an OpenAI funding round as OpenAI plans to close a $6.5 billion funding round next week, with investments possible from both Microsoft and Nvidia.

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป The news of Appleโ€™s decision to pass on investing in OpenAI comes amid more leadership and structural changes at the company. Former Apple design chief Jony Ive also recently confirmed that he is working with OpenAI to design an AI hardware product.

๐Ÿค Apple and OpenAI are teaming up to integrate ChatGPT into iOS 18 later this year. Through this partnership, ChatGPT will handle world knowledge requests in combination with Siri. Bloomberg has reported that Apple is not paying OpenAI as part of this partnership, nor is OpenAI paying Apple. Instead, Apple reportedly believes that the exposure the iOS 18 integration is giving OpenAI is โ€œof equal or greater valueโ€ than cash.

๐Ÿฅฝ Apple Vision Pro to get M5 chip and Apple Intelligence

๐Ÿ“ฐ Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims that Apple is developing a new version of its Vision Pro headset that is set to enter mass production in the second half of 2025.

What to expect:

ใƒปNew M5 chip (M2 in the current Vision Pro)
ใƒปUnchanged design
ใƒปAt least $3,499

๐Ÿง  Kuo emphasized that if this new version creates compelling use cases, it could push Vision Pro closer to mainstream adoption. He also speculates on the potential integration of advanced AI models, such as text-to-video capabilities similar to OpenAI's Sora, which could dramatically enhance the Vision Pro experience.

๐Ÿ“† Bloomberg's Mark Gurman also reports that Apple plans to introduce Apple Intelligence features to the Vision Pro headset. While the device is capable of running on-device AI functions such as writing tools, notification summaries, and an upgraded Siri, these features are not expected to arrive in 2024. Instead, Apple may be reserving the Apple Intelligence integration for visionOS 3, potentially launching in 2025.

๐Ÿ“ฑ iPhone 16 Pro Max has become the longest-lasting flagship so far

๐Ÿ† Not only among all iPhones, but among all current flagship smartphones.

The second place in terms of battery life was taken by OnePlus 12 with a difference of almost half an hour, while it has a significantly more capacious battery than the 16 Pro Max.

In general, the rating from Tom's Guide looks as follows:

โ€ข iPhone 16 Pro Max - 18:06 (4685 mAh)
โ€ข OnePlus 12 - 17:37 (5400 mAh)
โ€ข Galaxy S24+ - 16:46 (4900 mAh)
โ€ข Galaxy S24 Ultra - 16:45 (5000 mAh)
โ€ข iPhone 16 Plus - 16:29 (4674 mAh)
โ€ข Pixel 9 Pro XL - 14:37 (5060 mAh)
โ€ข iPhone 15 Plus - 14:14 (4383 mAh)
โ€ข iPhone 16 Pro - 14:07 (3582 mAh)
โ€ข iPhone 15 Pro Max - 14:02 (4422 mAh)
โ€ข Pixel 9 Pro - 13:37 (4700 mAh)
โ€ข Galaxy S24 - 13:28 (4000 mAh)
โ€ข Pixel 9 - 13:18 (4700 mAh)
โ€ข iPhone 16 - 12:43 (3561 mAh)
โ€ข iPhone 15 - 11:05 (3349 mAh)
โ€ข iPhone 15 Pro - 10:53 (3274 mAh)

Each model was tested in web surfing mode over 5G at a screen brightness of 150 nits.

๐Ÿ”‹ Apple not only increased battery capacity in the iPhone 16 lineup, but also did a good job on chip energy efficiency: it's notable that the iPhone 16 Pro outperformed the 15 Pro Max in battery life with a significantly smaller battery.

๐ŸŽง AirPods 4: hidden button and new controls โ€“ what's different?

๐Ÿ†• Apple has unveiled the updated AirPods 4, in which a hidden touch button has replaced the usual physical button for pairing. It is located on the front of the case, giving it a more elegant look.

๐ŸŸข Now, to connect your headphones, all you have to do is open the case and double tap the front of the case. There is a triple press or holding the button longer than usual to reset the settings, making the process even more intuitive.

๐Ÿ”‹ The charging indicator is now less noticeable, as it only illuminates when the case is opened or during charging, hiding under a neat white plastic. These changes not only make it easier to interact with the device, but also make AirPods 4 more minimalistic, emphasizing Apple's commitment to excellence in every detail.

๐Ÿ“ฆ What's more, the AirPods 4 box is the smallest in the history of the AirPods lineup. This is due to the elimination of the included cable, and the case with the headphones was placed inside the box more compactly.

๐Ÿ’ธ The versions of AirPods 4 with and without noise canceling, differ on the box by the drawing of the headphones, and also marked with the signature โ€œActive Noise Cancellationโ€. The price difference is $50.

โ™ป๏ธ There are two paper seals on the back of the box, as well as a short caption about what model of headphones it is and now no drawings. It does, however, say โ€œPlease recycle this box.โ€

๐Ÿ“บ TV in your iPad

โœ… Apple has patented the use of the Apple Pencil as a TV antenna.

๐Ÿ“ถ The patent describes the design of a future Apple Pencil that can be used with the iPad, and which will have two antennas in the body: one configured to receive a broadcast signal that includes video content using the ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee standard) protocol, and another antenna configured to communicate with an electronic device via wireless communication protocol (5G and Bluetooth).

๐Ÿ’ฌ Do you think this is one of those patents that never materializes or the thing is really needed?

๐Ÿ“ฑ Apple releases Safari Technology Preview 204

๐Ÿ†• Apple released a new update for Safari Technology Preview, the experimental browser that was first introduced in March 2016. It was designed to allow users to test features that are planned for future release versions of the Safari browser.

๐Ÿ’ป The current โ€ŒSafari Technology Previewโ€Œ release is compatible with machines running macOS Sonoma and macOS Sequoia, the newest version of the Mac operating system.

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป Apple's aim with โ€ŒSafari Technology Previewโ€Œ is to gather feedback from developers and users on its browser development process. โ€ŒSafari Technology Previewโ€Œ can run side-by-side with the existing Safari browser and while it is designed for developers, it does not require a developer account to download and use.

๐Ÿ“ฑ iPhone 17 Pro may do away with the familiar volume control button

๐ŸŒช Updated on time!

iOS ๐Ÿ“ฑbrings the satellite messaging feature that literally saved many people during the recent Hurricane Helen, who were without light or cell service for days.

๐Ÿ›ฐ To send messages via satellite, you need to be outside, in front of an open sky and with a visible horizon. Depending on the obstacles around you, texting and geolocation can take anywhere from 30 seconds to several minutes.

๐Ÿ’ฐ In addition, Tim Cook on social network ๐• announced a donation from Apple to help hurricane victims in the United States:

We're thinking of all those facing the catastrophic aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Apple will be making a donation to help with relief efforts on the ground.


๐Ÿ“ฐ Nearly 100 people have been killed by Hurricane Helen on the southeastern coast of the U.S., with several thousand more injured. Damage is estimated to be up to $100 billion. The disaster deprived residents of power, housing, roads and bridges in several areas from Florida to Virginia.

๐ŸŽง AirPods 4's repairability is rated 0 out of 10 on iFixit's scale

๐Ÿ“ฑ Experts from iFixit channel have taken apart the new AirPods 4 and AirPods Max. According to their findings, the AirPods 4 still has a lot of glue and too dense arrangement of parts inside, while the AirPods Max differ only in the charging port.

๐ŸŽง The AirPods Max in the new colors are also identical to the older version, and the only difference is the USB-C port.

๐Ÿ“Š AirPods 4's repairability is rated 0 out of 10 on the iFixit scale, while AirPods Max is rated 6 out of 10.

๐Ÿ“ฑ Apple has patented a guest mode for the iPhone

๐Ÿ“ฐ TheMacObserver reports that users will be able to hand over their iPhone to another person by putting it in โ€œguestโ€ mode so they don't have to worry about their sensitive data.

โš™๏ธ The feature involves flexible customization of apps, photos, notes and other files that will be available in this mode. Also, the owner will be able to change access settings remotely by logging into his account from another iPhone or iPad.

๐Ÿ“† From the patent to the realization of the function can take a long time, so the innovation should not be expected in the near future. Meanwhile, the function of adding users on iPadOS is still expected.

๐Ÿ“ฑ The rumored update to the iPhone SE is getting closer to production

๐Ÿ”œ It will probably be joined by the new iPad Air in early 2025. After the release of the iPhone 16, the rumor mill's attention now turns to the iPhone SE. The model that hasn't been updated since its March 2022 third-gen release is due an upgrade, which is believed to happen early in 2025.

๐Ÿ“ฑ The model is likely to include a lot of changes: it could be based on the iPhone 14's design, the display could finally make the upgrade to OLED instead of LCD, with a 6.1-inch edge-to-edge screen expected. It may also use a newer processor like the A18, in order to run Apple Intelligence.

๐Ÿ“ฒ An update to the 11-inch and 13-inch iPads Air are on the cards, albeit one involving "internal improvements." It's not clear what chips the iPad Air will use, but they say that new accessories will be inbound. This includes a new keyboard that may gain some elements from the updated iPad Pro Magic Keyboard.
