I really have mixed feelings about Apple Intelligence. In one hand, they say that basic AI taks will be handle locally by enabled by chipset that perform those tasks. But on the other hand, they clearly said that they will rely on a cloud based solution for tasks that are more hevy.

But we really don’t know what is the threshold between “basic tasks” and “heavy tasks”, it needs to be clearly identified for the consumer to know what they are dealing with in terms of privacy.

And the fact that they would use ChatGPT integration in addition for some other stuff makes me worry also. I’m glad that it’s not done by default and that people need to enable it.

Local AI is really the key challenge for future smartphone… Apple has maybe the right way to do it by making local AND cloud based performing specific actions. Let’s see how this unfold.

For IOS18… it’s really a joke to be honest, yes they have to present the new stuff, and there are great addition in terms of customization. But did they really have to present that like it was the innovation of the decade ?? Now we have blind Apple lovers that trash android for features that exist since 10 years 😂
I mean… Message schedling… It’s such a basic feature. Great to see that coming tho, finally

iOS 18 customization is something Android has for years now across many skins, but hey better late than never. It was hilarious seeing the people applaud a feature that’s already old.

Apple’s AI though, I’d love to see Nothing’s approach getting inspired by this moving forward.

Great thread. My personal favourite from the keynote is Math calculator. I wish i had that during my school days. Or may be not. I would have grown so dumb then. AI takeover incoming 😯

    arpan2308 has this exact same though earlier. On one hand it’s a borderline miracle learning tool, but on the other hand when do I put the effort in to learn it myself.

    Obviously these tools wouldn’t be allowed in exams but outside of that, just day to day, it’s almost like we don’t need to know anymore 🥲

      Seems we also have our first peek of RCS support on iPhone. Green bubbles as expected, and very likely to not include the extra features available in iMessage, but at least it means typing indicators, high-resolution media sharing and end-to-end encryption.

        When I had first heard about AI innovation, I wanted it to do all the boring stuff of my life. Like wash the dishes, take out the trash. So that I could focus my time on learning, creativity and family. I feel like companies are going in the opposite direction. Hope Nothing can do something different.

        arpan2308 Yeah I’d rather learn maths myself instead of relying on the auto-calculation. Personally, this feature will promote more laziness and discourage zoomers from learning maths because technology has done it already for them.

            Also for Mac users, you’ll now have the ability to snap windows much more easily into predefined areas of the screen. No more third party solutions (unless you want specific control) or having to press the green button on the window you want to position.

              Bit crazy I know. This should have been implemented a long time ago. At least it’s available now.
