Apple renews talks with OpenAI for iPhone generative AI features: report

Apple has officially released the iOS 17.5 to the general public, offering several new features and changes for iPhone users. The update can be installed by navigating to the Settings app, selecting General, and then Software Update. Let's dive in to check what new Apple has included in this update.

It’s only been a month since Apple started allowing retro game emulators on the App Store and we already have our second bona-fide hit. The newly-released Gamma is a free PS1 emulator with plenty of bells and whistles for those looking to dive back into the world of blocky polygons. It joins the massively popular Nintendo emulator Delta. We have no idea why these apps keep getting named after the Greek alphabet, as both are made by completely separate devs.

Today, Square Enix reported financial results for the fiscal year that ended on March 31. The results weren't great, as the Japanese publisher narrowly missed the revenue target and majorly missed the operating income target, with the latter also down 26.6% compared to last year.

I've spent a lot of time on the road. Or should I say, in the air. I've flown about 75,000 miles a year for the last several years. And in that time, this simple iPhone accessory has become my must-have travel companion.

The M4 announcement during Apple’s ‘Let Loose’ event painted a rosy picture for potential buyers, and they would have likely believed that the latest iPad Pro models would have access to four performance and six efficiency cores. Unfortunately, that is not the case here because Apple cleverly hid the finer details from its audience, and to actually get the chipset with the 10-core CPU, you have to avoid the 256GB or 512GB models altogether. Hearing this is disappointing because the base model does not come cheap and is currently listed for pre-order at $999.

From a high of $172 per share at the peak of the EV mania to just around $10 per share now, Rivian appeared destined for a penny stock status not too long ago. However, the company's recent movies are significant enough to merit a pause from even the most ardent of bears.

In a recent announcement on April 24, WhatsApp revealed the launch of a brand new feature tailored for iPhone users. The feature, dubbed "passkeys," aims to simplify and enhance the login process on the popular messaging platform.

India has become a key market for global tech giants, with a burgeoning developer base attracting significant attention. Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, expressed his contentment with India's growing developer community, underlining Apple's holistic approach covering everything from developer support to market strategies and operational efficiency.

Delhi-based policy researcher Sneha Sinha thanked the Apple Watch 7 for “saving her life” after the heart rate notification feature on the device alerted her of abnormally high heart rate of over 250 beats per minute. In an interaction with HT Tech, Sneha narrated that she had no pre-existing health conditions and considered herself fit.

Apple introduced a new feature called “Shop with a Specialist over Video” to its online store last year. This feature enables customers to connect with an Apple Specialist via one-way video when purchasing select products, such as the iPhone. Now, this functionality is extended to the Apple Store app on iOS.

Huawei was reported to have attained a new milestone as its Pura 70 lineup was said to be comprised of 90 percent components sourced from Chinese partners. This approach would have meant that shortly, the company would be even less dependent on foreign suppliers that are strongly influenced by the U.S., assuming the claim turned out true. The report mentioned that the Japanese electronics consultancy firm Fomalhaut Techno Solutions analyzed the latest smartphones, but the Chief Executive has denied this information.
