Today a revealing new look into Apple’s recent Siri struggles was published at The Information.

We’ve been hearing a lot of rumors about iOS 19, but not so much about watchOS 12. However, it seems that Apple also has big plans for the next version of the Apple Watch operating system.

ChatGPT is everywhere, from the web to desktop and mobile devices. However, when it comes to the official app, it only runs on the latest iPhones and iPads as it requires iOS 17 or later.

It’s been a wild day for the global economy. Amid US tariff turmoil and reversals, the stock market went on quite the ride.

Today was the first day that huge tariffs went into effect for most US imports, but it seems the impact will be short-lived—at least for many. President Trump has just enacted a 90-day pause on the most severe of the tariffs, with China a major exception. As a result, risk to Apple may be lessened, but they certainly aren’t in the clear.

Best Buy’s open-box listings with full Apple warranties are now starting at $890, or up to $110 off the going rate, much like this deal on Apple Pencil Pro down at $88 shipped.

Massive tariffs imposed by President Trump on the rest of the globe went into effect today.

Apple Intelligence has been off to a rocky start, especially when it comes to Siri. The assistant still has a lot to be desired, and that should definitely be at the forefront of Apple’s priorities.

Regardless, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that Apple plans on expanding current Apple Intelligence capabilities to additional apps in iOS 19, and I figured I’d throw out some ideas I’d like to see.
