  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.

  In a stark illustration of how excessive EU regulation is stifling technological progress, Apple has been forced to withhold its cutting-edge Siri AI upgrade from the European Union.

  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. What Apple actually said was, “Our teams doubled down on our relentless dedication to make the experience feel more polished and intuitive.”Then, Apple presented the most obnoxious eye-chart slide I’ve ever seen in over 25 years of tech journalism, while saying, “We scoured ever

  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?
