The release notes about Photos in macOS 15.4 caught my eye, and when I was trying to see how those new features worked, I realized that Photos had changed more in Sequoia than I had realized. Where did the Days collection come from? Photos now identifies receipts? How does Apple determine what should appear in Featured Photos (and why is it so utterly random)?
So let’s look at the new organizational features in Photos in Sequoia in more detail than Apple provides. Perhaps you’ve already explored these features, but if you’re like me and seldom venture beyond the main Library grid, you appreciate the new organizational features, which you’ll mainly find in the sidebar.
One major theme throughout is that there seems to be much more optimism within Apple that Siri is in good hands now.
Federighi and Rockwell seem to be viewed internally as leaders who get things done, and have strong track records of shipping.
Cook initially approved doubling the team's chip budget, but CFO Luca Maestri reportedly reduced the increase to less than half that amount, and instead encouraged the team to make existing chips more efficient.
The lack of adequate GPU resources meant Apple's AI team had to negotiate for computing power from providers like Google and Amazon.
Apple plans to release its delayed Apple Intelligence Siri features in the fall, according to a new report by The New York Times.
Apple is continuing to add support for carrier-based satellite services, with au customers in Japan and One NZ customers in New Zealand now able to use the satellite connectivity offered by those carriers on compatible iPhone models.
Let's unravel the world of smartphone charging with a quick explanation of charging technology and explore what you need to fast-charge your phone before we dive into the common standards and proprietary protocols for wired and wireless charging.
Apple has finally and officially released the iPhone 16 for customers in Indonesia. Not just the recently introduced iPhone 16e, but the whole lineup that was announced last fall. New iPhones typically don’t take more than 200 days to reach other markets. However, the Indonesian government forced Apple to pay for the opportunity to bring the latest iPhone technology to customers in its country.
There's sure a lot of leaks from Apple's Apple Intelligence team(s), isn't it?
At this point, I don't think many people will believe any Apple's claim on where the intelligent Siri will be released. Until, that is, Apple start showing us.
(Yes, I know Apple has not said anything beyond 'coming year'.)
