Étiquette : Apple Intelligence

On Monday 3 August 2026, Apple asked a federal judge to bar OpenAI and two former Apple employees from accessing, using or disclosing its confidential information while the case proceeds. The motion for a preliminary injunction arrived with a second motion for expedited discovery, and Judge Edward J. Davila has set the hearing for 1 […]

On July 15, 2026, China’s Cyberspace Administration approved Apple Intelligence for the country, and the model doing the heavy lifting is not ChatGPT. It is Alibaba’s Qwen, which will power Apple’s on-device AI features across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Vision Pro for users in mainland China. This is the first time Apple Intelligence in China […]

The Siri vs ChatGPT debate just changed for the first time in years. Apple’s 2026 software, iOS 27 and macOS 27 “Golden Gate,” rebuilds Siri into a generative assistant called Siri AI, complete with a dedicated app, a chat interface, and the ability to hand tough questions to ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude. In mainland China, […]

Setting up Siri takes about four taps, but the menu moved in 2026. On any iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence, the old “Siri” panel is now called Apple Intelligence & Siri, and the switch you actually flip lives under Talk to Siri.

Learning how to use Siri takes about ten seconds. Say “Siri” or “Hey Siri” and ask, or press a button and speak. The harder part is knowing what to actually say, because Siri can do far more than set a timer. It sends messages, gives directions, runs calculations, controls smart-home gear, translates phrases, and takes […]

Siri stops working for one of three reasons more than any other, an incomplete setting, a weak internet connection, or a temporary software glitch that a restart clears. Apple’s own support data points to those same culprits, and most people get their assistant talking again in under two minutes once they know which one to […]

Apple Intelligence only runs on a Mac with an M1 chip or newer and macOS 15.1 or later, which locks out every Intel Mac and a lot of older machines still in daily use. Apple even decides which model powers the feature by region, giving Chinese users Apple Intelligence on Alibaba’s Qwen rather than ChatGPT. […]

More than 10,000 people search every month for how to use Siri shortcuts, and in 2026 the answer changed in a big way. Siri shortcuts let you bundle several actions into a single command you trigger by voice, a tap, or an automatic rule, and the free Shortcuts app on iPhone, iPad, and Mac is […]
