When unveiling its upcoming AI features at WWDC, Apple demoed a number of ways it will be useful and powerful. But what use cases will Apple Intelligence be most helpful? A new report from CIRP looks to answer that question.

The year is reaching its halfway point, and Apple TV+ has released a variety of new series, movies, and returning shows. There are plenty of summer debuts hitting soon, but before we head into the second half of 2024, let’s take stock of what the service has produced so far.
What has been your favorite TV+ release of 2024 so far?
more…As we covered last week, iOS 18 includes a few notable changes for the Home app and HomeKit in general. One of those changes is hands-free support for unlocking smart locks thanks to Ultra Wideband technology. Unfortunately, and perhaps unsurprisingly, there are no locks on the market that actually offer UWB support.
more…Along with letting users customize app colors, organize them anywhere, and more natively, iOS 18 brings a subtle new feature that cleans up the Home Screen. Here’s how to hide app names on iPhone in iOS 18.
more…Apple has a brand new Passwords app coming in iOS 18. Once users upgrade this fall to the latest OS versions across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and even Vision Pro, they’ll find the new Passwords app installed.
But while Passwords will offer lots of the functionality found in third-party options like 1Password (at least for personal use), there are two specific 1Password features you won’t find in Apple’s Passwords app.
more…Listen to a recap of the top stories of the day from 9to5Mac. 9to5Mac Daily is available on iTunes and Apple’s Podcasts app, Stitcher, TuneIn, Google Play, or through our dedicated RSS feed for Overcast and other podcast players.

A standout feature of the Vision Pro is its immersive environments, where you can fully enjoy the device’s VR powers and find yourself in an entirely different place. One of Apple’s most demoed environments is Mount Hood, and now thanks to Basic Apple Guy, you can enjoy this peaceful location as a wallpaper on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac too.
more…Notorious threat actor IntelBroker, who previously claimed responsibility for other high-profile data breaches, including those of U.S. government systems in April, allegedly leaked the source code of several internal tools used at Apple via a post on a dark web forum.
more…The Antstream Arcade launch on App Store next week will treat users to hundreds of old-school game titles.
We have hit the mid-week, and it’s finally time for a solid Amazon all-time low price with today’s Apple Pencil Pro deal – it is now at the best we have tracked in new condition. From there, we move over to the M4 iPad Pro you can use it on with the 1TB 13-inch model now at the best price ever alongside discounts on Apple’s Magic Keyboard for M2 iPad Air, MagSafe charger offers, ongoing Apple Watch Ultra 2 price drops, and more. Everything is waiting down below.
more…One way to get great sound out of your computer setup is to include a top audio interface like this MacBook Pro rig uses.
Nobody likes a port transition. When Apple moved the iPhone and iPad to Lightning, and the Mac from USB-A to USB-C, it was painful. Most recently, the iPhone 15 line dropped Lightning for USB-C. Each transition makes your old peripherals more or less useless, unless you want to resort to endless adapters.
But port transitions are made much easier once every device supports the new connector.
Apple has gotten us most of the way toward the dream of an all-USB-C life. But there are still a handful of products lagging behind. Here are the products still in need of a USB-C update.
more…Groundbreaking solid-state battery technology developed by TDK packs an energy density 100 times greater than current versions.
DJI has released exciting new updates for the and Osmo Mobile SE, making the intelligent smartphone stabilizers compatible with various models for remote control.
more…Not too long ago, Apple was on a mission to make all of its devices thinner and lighter. This ambition resulted in iPhones that bent, and MacBook Pros that removed pro ports and had a terrible keyboard.
In the past few years, Apple has shifted gears, prioritizing battery life, ports, and other important features over thinness. But the tides are set to turn again.
According to a new report, Apple’s thinning agenda is back and it’s coming for the iPhone, MacBook Pro, and Apple Watch soon. But the recent iPad Pro shows that Apple may just succeed this time around.
more…The possibility of a smartphone ban in schools in Apple’s home state of California looks increasingly likely after Governor Gavin Newsom added his support.
The move follows an opinion piece by the US Surgeon General proposing a warning label on social media apps, given the mental health risks they pose to adolescents.
Update: New York’s governor has signed into law two bills restricting social media for kids

With a lifetime membership to VirtualSkills, you won't just learn one skill. The online courses will teach you everything from AI to Excel.
We speculated at the time that the decision to withdraw Apple Pay Later was probably driven by a desire to get ahead of upcoming legislation, and a piece today suggests that it’s actually a new interpretation of a very old law.
The Truth in Lending Act was passed in 1968, and grants consumers a number of protections when it comes to credit cards – and Apple Pay Later seemed set to fall within scope …

If you’ve got an Intel Mac of up to six years old, there was mixed news for most when Apple announced macOS 15 Sequoia. Most Macs that can run macOS 14 can still run this year’s version – but Intel models unsurprisingly won’t get the headline Apple Intelligence features.
A historical analysis of how long Macs continue to support the latest version of macOS shows that – with a couple of exceptions – not much changed this year on the surface, but it does still leave the question of Apple’s future plans for its Intel-chipped machines …

Qualcomm has been touting the performance characteristics of its new Snapdragon X Elite series of ARM chips for a while, which finally debuted this week inside the new Copilot+ PC’s (albeit without the fancy AI Recall feature, which has been delayed following security concerns).
While reviewers have more testing to do, the initial benchmarks and results paint a mixed bag. While the 12-core CPU Qualcomm chips are posting higher multi-core scores than the 8-core CPU M3 chip found in , the M3 is still unbeaten on single core. That means for many tasks, the MacBook Air will still be faster. The M3 chip is also more power efficient than the X Elite …

加入T客邦Facebook粉絲團一位65歲的日本藝術家在社群平台上,發佈了一個用Luma的Dream Machine製作的影片。影片中,他將自己已逝去11年的妻子重新復刻,把冰冷的照片變成了鮮活的影像。
影片一經發佈,這些溫情瞬間觸動了無數網友的心弦,不少網友在評論區留言,表示感動到熱淚盈眶。
Koya Matsuo(松尾公也)是一位65歲的日本AI藝術家、IT編輯和音樂人,為了紀念他逝去了11年的妻子小鳥醬(Tori-chan),他用Luma的AI Dream Machine製作了一段影片,並發佈在社群媒體。
該影片引發了許多網友的關注,播放量超過了40萬次,不少網友稱,「這簡直就像是《哈利波特》裡的魔法」。
有網友在影片下留言,表示AI技術的進步在這些地方得以體現,不禁讓人淚目。
據外媒報導,2013年6月25日,松尾公也的妻子小鳥醬因乳腺癌不幸逝世。此後,松尾公也陷入對妻子的思念中。每當AI影片和音樂生成工具面世,65歲的松尾就開始瘋狂學習,想法設法用它們「復活」妻子。
這次Dream Machine爆火,松尾公也在第一時間試用。他在發表於TECHNOEDGE中的文章裡表示:「我使用它的目的並不是為了要製作電影,而是用於靜態圖像,尤其是讓人物動起來。更具體地說,是為了看到11年前去世的妻子的動態身影。」
松尾公也用1978至1987年間拍攝的底片照,通過Remini技術進行高解析化處理,再利用Luma Dream Machine轉換成影片,實現了讓妻子在影片中「復活」的願望。
他把妻子高中時的一張照片(拍攝於1978 年)上傳到Dream Machine,然後輸入提示詞:「a girl is talking with her friend on a moving train(在移動的火車上,一個女孩正在與她朋友交談)」,從而生成影片。
照片中的人隨著火車的震動而搖晃,窗外的陰影變化也被反映出來了。
他還找出妻子的數張照片,先用SD生成圖像,然後使用Dream Machine將這些靜態畫面轉化為動態影片。
在嘗試過程中,松尾公也發現,如果動作太大,比如回頭或站起來,影片中的臉部往往會與本人不符。他推測這可能是因為AI的訓練資料偏向歐美人。為解決這個問題,他嘗試使用「... is looking at me(某某正在看著我)」或「... is staring at the viewer(某某正凝視著觀眾)」等提示詞,成功生成了視線始終朝向他的影片。
這是1985年他們在築波博覽會拍攝的照片。
松尾給的提示詞是:「a girl is looking at me(一個女孩正在看著我)」,然後,Dream Machine生成了讓他每看一次都會心動的影片。
為了使作品更加完整,他把妻子保留下來的聲音進行取樣,利用 Suno的Voiceflex功能作詞作曲,最終為妻子生成一條音樂MV:《Can Dream Machine Dream?》,完成了一次跨越時空的音樂與影像的融合。
有網友表示:「AI沒有溫度,但是用AI的人有。」
