NVIDIA announced at CES 2025 that it is collaborating with Apple to bring GeForce NOW to the Vision Pro using Safari, with updates to the platform expected to roll out later this month. This will enable users to access AAA titles with the power of NVIDIA's RTX technologies that leverage technologies like ray tracing and DLSS.
Cohn emphasized to Vox that Apple’s insistence that it wasn’t intentionally illegally surveilling users was probably true — because, after all, why would it need to?
“That’s a labor-intensive, compute-expensive thing to do to track us when they’ve got this cornucopia of completely legal, easy to do, low-computational ways of surveilling all of us,” she said.
Summarizing summaries isn’t working out for Apple, but more broadly I think there’s something to the idea of presenting AI-written headlines and summaries in order to provide utility to the user. As having an LLM running all the time on our devices becomes commonplace, I would love to see RSS readers (for example) that are capable of rewriting bad headlines and creating solid summaries. The key—as Artifact learned—is to build guardrails and always make it clear that the content is being generated by an LLM, not a human.
Apple should not be putting its name or logo on something it does not stand behind, and it should stand behind everything it ships.
You can hit the equals button over and over to perform new operations to your heart’s content.
On paper, the Mac Pro seems like a bad deal. But for users who need tons of storage, it’s a sleeper pick. Adding PCIe cards is still cheaper per terabyte than adding external Thunderbolt solutions. You’ll appreciate the noise reduction, the practicality, and the fast performance that fits neatly inside a Mac Pro. The Mac Pro is an excellent combination of power and beautiful design.
Apple said it will select 350 winners based on "innovation, creativity, social impact, or inclusivity." 50 of the winners will be invited to spend three days at Apple Park in Cupertino, California this summer. The trip generally coincides with Apple's annual WWDC event, which is often held in June.
The current market is like… enforced weight training (or enforced spinning, if you have the opposite inclinations). It sucks, and it hurts, but it can also be an opportunity to expand your skills at maximizing the current situation rather than the skills to seek out a new one.
Apple is expanding in Seattle, finalizing the largest single lease of office space in the city since the pandemic’s onset.
The iPhone maker is bucking the trend of tech companies choosing Bellevue for new offices by taking more than 190,000 square feet of space in South Lake Union from Meta, according to a report from commercial brokerage Colliers.
Minister Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita said Apple had struck a deal to build a facility producing its Airtag tracking device on Indonesia's Batam island, close to Singapore, but that still would not count as a locally-made iPhone part.
"There is no basis for the ministry to issue a local content certification as a way for Apple to have the permission to sell iPhone 16 because (the facility) has no direct relations," he said, adding the ministry would only count phone components.
Nowadays, almost everything that comes to me via an actual phone call or an actual SMS messages are either spams or scams. An iPod Touch with data-only eSIM can definitely make a comeback in this day and age.
