According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple's smart glasses project, codenamed N50, remains in early development and is far from ready. While Apple has a strong track record of creating small, innovative devices, its smart glasses development appears to be progressing slowly. Gurman writes that the N50 glasses aim to leverage "Apple Intelligence" capabilities, analyzing the surroundings and feeding information back to the wearer, but the glasses will not provide a full augmented reality (AR) experience.

Apple is expected to release the iOS 18.5 update to Chinese users in May, bringing the much-anticipated Apple Intelligence (AI) features to mainland China iPhones. This AI functionality has been available in US and European iPhone versions for almost a month. This update signifies Apple's official entry into the generative AI era in the Chinese market.

Tech giant Apple recently made another significant adjustment to its artificial intelligence (AI) division. According to sources, Apple plans to transfer its secretive robotics team from the purview of AI chief John Giannandrea to senior vice president of hardware engineering, John Ternus, later this month. This follows the March move of the underperforming Siri voice assistant business away from Giannandrea. A series of...

Apple has quietly removed the 'Available Now' tag from its Apple Intelligence webpage. This follows a National Advertising Division (NAD) announcement stating that Apple's AI advertising was misleading. The removal suggests a response to the NAD's concerns regarding Apple's marketing claims.

Despite delays to some anticipated Apple Intelligence features, Apple is actively promoting features already available to iPhone users. Recent advertisements focus on the convenient cleanup functionality within the Photos app. This feature leverages Apple Intelligence to allow users to identify and remove distracting elements from photo backgrounds, preserving the main subject. The latest advertisement showcases how to easily remove unwanted objects from behind the main subject of a photo with a simple tap.

According to foreign media reports, Apple's newly launched Apple Intelligence feature is disabled on Meta's apps (including Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Threads), preventing users from accessing core functionalities such as Writing Tools and the custom emoji generator (Genmoji). This move is believed to be related to Meta's strategy of promoting its own Meta AI tools, highlighting the intensifying competition between the two tech giants in the AI arena.

In the field of multimodal artificial intelligence (AI), engineers from Apple have collaborated with a research team from Sorbonne University in France on a significant study. Recently, tech media outlet marktechpost published a blog post discussing the application and prospects of early and late fusion models in multimodal AI. The research indicates that early fusion models trained from scratch offer superior computational efficiency and scalability. Multimodal AI aims to process multiple data types simultaneously, such as images and text; however, integrating these diverse sources presents challenges.

Recent developments in Apple's AI initiatives have garnered significant attention. According to Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, Apple plans to significantly expand the application of its "Apple Intelligence" AI technology in the upcoming iOS 19. This news has generated considerable anticipation within the industry regarding Apple's future AI strategy. Reportedly, Apple will open a summarization API to third-party developers. This means users will benefit from AI capabilities across numerous scenarios.

The most notable new feature is 5G-A (5.5G) network support. According to Apple, 5G-A networks offer theoretical peak speeds up to 10 times faster than traditional 5G, providing users with a significantly improved network connection experience. Beta testers reported speeds reaching 1400Mbps with 5G-A enabled on their iPhones, far exceeding traditional 5G speeds. However, this feature is currently only supported on iPhone 13 and later models.

Apple has released the Release Candidate (RC) version of iOS 18.4, typically indicating an imminent official release unless critical issues are discovered. A key highlight of this update is the upcoming launch of the Chinese language version of Apple's AI features.

Apple's upcoming iOS 18.4 update is highly anticipated, particularly for its new "Priority Notifications" feature. This AI-powered function automatically identifies important notifications and displays them more prominently on the iPhone's lock screen. This allows users to more easily see crucial information amidst a flood of notifications, enhancing the overall user experience. The iOS 18.4 candidate release dropped on Monday, following earlier reports from MacRumors on this feature.

According to Bloomberg, Apple is planning to integrate a camera into its Apple Watch. This camera will allow the Apple Watch to visually observe the user's surroundings and leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to provide relevant information. Apple is reportedly considering adding the camera to both the standard and Ultra series watches. The standard series watch's camera will likely be embedded in the display, similar to the iPhone's front-facing camera. The Apple Watch Ultra...
