GPU prices could follow RAM's big rise Google's Gemini AI comes to Chrome on iPhone and iPad It can summarize pages, create a FAQ on a topic and modify recipes for your dietary needs. After rolling it out on desktop and Android earlier in 2025, Google is finally bringing its built-in Gemini AI experience to iPhone and iPad. It offers new features like summarizing pages and helping you test your knowledge about a subject you're learning. As with any AI tool, though, it shouldn't be trusted for anything important given the possibility of hallucinations and other errors. When it arrives on your iOS device, tapping the spark icon at the left of the address bar (in place of the Google Lens camera) brings up a Pages tool that offers Lens and the new feature, Ask Gemini.

Among the changes ushered in with iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS 15.1 Sequoia is a new Type to Siri option. This means you can carry on a conversation with Apple's digital assistant without having to talk out loud, which is helpful when you're in a quiet library, busy subway car, or anywhere else you can't really use voice control. The ability to type to Siri has actually been available on Apple devices for several years now, but previously it was hidden away in the Accessibility settings and not all that easy to find. Now Apple has given it much more prominence in its operating systems, so typing is just as straightforward as talking. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday.

Elon Musk announced Monday that he'll ban Apple devices from his companies' premises if the iPhone creator goes forward with its planned OpenAI integration. Apple held its annual Worldwide Developer's Conference Monday, and the biggest takeaway was OpenAI's ChatGPT will be paired with Apple's assistant Siri. In one example shown, Siri recommended that the iPhone user consult ChatGPT for further dinner recipe ideas, flagging all the way that these new answers were coming from OpenAI's chatbot and advising users to'check important info for mistakes'. Musk responded to the partnership on X, saying employees and visitors to his companies would'have to check their Apple devices at the door' where they will be stored in a'Faraday cage' – a cage that blocks electromagnetic fields. He continued: 'If Apple integrates OpenAI at the OS level, then Apple devices will be banned at my companies.

Ahead of Global Accessibility Awareness Day this week, Apple is issuing its typical annual set of announcements around its assistive features. Many of these are useful for people with disabilities, but also have broader applications as well. For instance, Personal Voice, which was released last year, helps preserve someone's speaking voice. It can be helpful to those who are at risk of losing their voice or have other reasons for wanting to retain their own vocal signature for loved ones in their absence. Today, Apple is bringing eye-tracking support to recent models of iPhones and iPads, as well as customizable vocal shortcuts, music haptics, vehicle motion cues and more.

The newest Assassin's Creed game will soon arrive on iPhone and iPad. Assassin's Creed Mirage, the 2023 installment that takes you to ninth-century Baghdad, will be available on June 6 for the iPhone 15 Pro series and iPads with an M-series chip. Ubisoft says the mobile version of the AAA title offers "the same experience as the console version" but with adapted touchscreen controls. IGN reports that Ubisoft confirmed the mobile game will support MFi hardware controllers like the Backbone One and Razer Kishi Ultra. Ubisoft says Assassin's Creed Mirage supports cross-progression and cross-save through Ubisoft Connect, so you can pick up where you left off no matter your platform.

Siri is known to cut people off midsentence, but there's away to make Siri listen longer. CyberGuy shows you how to customize the wait time. I have a love /hate relationship with Siri. It shouldn't be so complicated and sure shouldn't sound like we need couples counseling. Unfortunately, this dysfunctional relationship I share with my iPhone's virtual assistant is systematic and widespread.

Apple is copying Amazon's Alexa with a major change to Siri, a respected leaker claims. According to Apple tipster Mark Gurman, Siri users will soon only need to say'Siri' instead of'Hey Siri' when activating the personal assistant. The change would match Alexa, the virtual assistant from rival Amazon, which requires to users to simply say'Alexa' without the word'hey' first. It could be implemented across multiple Apple operating systems, including iOS for iPhones, as well as iPadOS, watchOS, macOS and more. Gurman has already revealed Apple is planning to unveil its mixed reality headset in less than two months.

Apple has been working of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for decades, but longtime Apple analyst Tim Bajarin believes that Apple is more cautious about publicly touting its own AI prowess in light of the recent controversies surrounding Microsoft's Bing AI and Google's Bard ChatGPT competitor. From a historical standpoint, Apple began showing off early AI models when they introduced their futuristic Knowledge Navigator in 1987 And by 1990, Apple started a significant speech recognition project under Kaifu Lee who today is one the top researchers and experts in AI. Of course, Apple's Siri employs modern-day AI and advanced machine learning to deliver answers to spoken questions or requests and is at the heart of Apple Maps. Apple not jumping into the ChatGPT fray now is reasonable, given the current arrows aimed at Microsoft and Google's AI ChatGPT solutions. Although Bing's ChatGPT and Google's Bard are excellent products with great potential, it was clear that researchers and savvy media would poke holes in its capabilities and make those failures the headlines.

More recently the release of LiDAR sensor functionality in Apple iPhone and iPad has begun a new era in scene understanding for the computer vision and developer communities. Fundamental research in scene understanding combined with the advances in ML can now impact everyday experiences. A variety of methods are addressing different parts of the challenge, like depth estimation, 3D reconstruction, instance segmentation, object detection, and more. Among these problems, creating a 3D floor plan is becoming key for many applications in augmented reality, robotics, e-commerce, games, and real estate. To address automatic 3D floor-plan generation, Apple released RoomPlan in 2022.

Apple has released its latest firmware updates for iPhone and iPad. One of the more notable features Apple is adding in iOS 15.2 and iPadOS 15.2 is the Voice Plan for Apple Music. For $5 per month, subscribers can access the full library of songs, playlists and radio stations via Siri. On iPhone and iPad, you'll be able to access an App Privacy Report, which provides details of the data that Apple and third-party apps accessed during the previous seven days. The report shows how often apps use things like location, photos, camera, microphone and contacts, as well as their network activity. Also new is Apple's Digital Legacy feature.
