This week’s stories:
Take a deep dive into the best parts of M4 iPad Pro [Review]
- What stands out most about Apple’s new tablet is that it’s noticeably lighter and visibly thinner than its predecessors without compromising any of the other features. The screen looks better, the performance has improved, and battery life is unaffected. It really is amazing.
All the AI features headed for iPhone, Mac and iPad
- Artificial intelligence-powered features are likely to make iOS 18, macOS 15 and iPadOS 18 the biggest upgrades to Apple’s platforms in many years.
Siri could get a more conversational voice in iOS 18
- Apple reportedly will make Siri’s voice more conversational in iOS 18. Plus, the voice assistant will gain several “proactive intelligence” features that will help in daily life.
Apple leaker floats iPhone 16 and 16 Pro color predictions
- This year’s iPhone 16 Pro models could trade the blue for a new rose titanium shade, which should resemble pink, while retaining the other colors.
- As for the iPhone 16 and its Plus sibling, Kuo predicts they will launch in black, green, pink, blue and white.
Future iPhone might go super slim
- Apple reportedly found ways to “significantly” slim down the iPhone. The result will reportedly be part of the iPhone 17 series when it reaches customers next year, according to The Information.
WTF??? Apple chose this as the best album of all time?
- Apple Music’s 100 Best Albums is a 21st-century ranking of the greatest records ever made, crafted by Apple Music’s team of experts alongside a select group of artists, songwriters, producers and other industry professionals.
