In reality it is shaping up as more a product feature than a new product category. As recent announcements from Apple and Google show, it is proving most useful as a technology to soup up the gadgets and software we already use, rather than reset the world order.
That disconnect has big implications for how we are using artificial intelligence at work and in our personal lives. It’s also going to shape the landscape of winners and losers among startups and tech giants currently investing a deluge of cash in building this technology.
I wrote this post after years of hearing people say that Safari was great on battery life and Chrome was a battery vampire. More recently, I read the argument that it’s so bad that Chrome running it’s Chromium engine ought not be allowed to exist on iPhones and iPads. My findings tell me that everyone should put this myth that Chrome is somehow the worst battery hog in the world to rest. I’d be happy to see other testing that shows different results, but if you spend most of your browsing time watching YouTube, browsing social media, looking at sites and articles with tons of ads, and working in Google web apps, I don’t see any evidence that Chrome is fundamentally flawed. If it was, I would have expected it to rear its ugly head here, and in fact it outperformed Safari.

The stakes are especially high for Ireland which relies on corporate tax receipts from a handful of multinationals to bankroll government spending and budget surpluses. It had been willing to forfeit the $13bn to underpin this system. While shoring up its appeal to tech and pharma giants Dublin must now also figure out what to do with a tainted bonanza that has prompted recrimination, embarrassment and excitement.

I'll probably need to go down to an Apple Store soon to check out the new iPhone Pro Max: what I want to know is if I can replace both my iPhone mini and iPad Pro (which I no longer do pro stuff) with an iPhone with the largest screen? Or should I continue to wait for the folding iPhone + iPad combo?
(My wallet and my pants pockets are now crying for help.)
