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, […]

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.
