• Siri AI? I’ll believe it when I see it

  Macworld
  Apple’s WWDC keynotes are usually reminiscent of a painstakingly curated meal at a high-class restaurant. Perhaps a little iPad software as an amuse-bouche, sir? Then, can I recommend the iPhone as your starter, the Mac for the main course, a small dish of Apple Watch to clear the palate, and finally just a soupçon of Vision Pro as dessert. WWDC26, which saw the various OSes crammed together willy-nilly, was more like the anarchy of an all-you-can-eat hotel breakfast.Partly

  Apple’s WWDC26 keynote was focused on new AI-based features, including Siri AI and Apple Intelligence. The demonstrations during the keynote portray the new AI features as powerful ways for users to be more productive, efficient, and creative.But in order to unleash all that power, you have to have a device that’s compatible. Because there is varying level of AI implementation here, the compatibility list seems as complicated as the tech created to run these features.

  We are often told how important it is to use a password manager to keep our online presence safely protected, and considering how much we store in our virtual accounts, it’s sensible advice. After all, there are only so many unique passwords you can store in your head before you start reverting to something reused, weak, and easily cracked.I’ve been using 1Password for years, and I’ve found it to be a great way to generate strong passwords and passkeys.

  At its WWDC26 opening keynote, Apple today previewed macOS 27, focusing on design refinements, Siri AI, and other relatively minor upgrades. Despite the update’s somewhat lackluster nature, Safari on the Mac is still getting a few useful AI tools that I can’t wait to use. While it expectedly doesn’t offer a comprehensive agentic browsing experience, some of the fresh additions subtly rely on agentic AI capabilities to execute specific tasks, including one that wil

  Apple spent an unusually long time during its WWDC Keynote this year talking about how it was going to fix all the busted crap in its operating systems. I’m paraphrasing, of course.
